Already Ready
Dan + Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a call from a friend, said "you should come over
All your friends are already over"
Took you twenty minutes just to find a dress
You like the dress, you say yes
Green, red, yellow, blue, yeah, they're all just right on you
Don't worry, you look beautiful
Hair up, hair down, another twenty minutes to get out the house
Call a cab and we jump in it
Finally walk in
I'm already thinking 'bout leavin'
Gotta get you back in my shirt
Get you out that dress
Get you out them shoes that you like so much
Everybody at the party is checking your body
I don't even mind it 'cause you're coming with me, girl
And I know it's only seven thirty-two but looking at you
I'm already ready to go
I'm already ready, are you ready?
'Cause I'm ready to go
Wall-to-wall
Way too many people
The noise, the crowd
I don't even see 'em
'Cause I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
I ain't tryin' to be antisocial
Everybody's probably wondering why we're standing in the corner all alone
Girl, you're so beautiful, yeah
You look good in the lights, but I wanna see you in the dark
Kiss your lips, it's only been a minute since
We walked in
I'm already thinking 'bout leavin'
Gotta get you back in my shirt
Get you out that dress
Get you out them shoes you like so much
Everybody at the party is checking your body
I don't even mind it 'cause you're coming with me, girl
And I know it's only seven thirty-two but looking at you
I'm already ready to go
I'm already ready, are you ready?
'Cause I'm ready to go
Go
We're halfway out the door
I can't wait anymore
Yeah, I know we just walked in
I'm already thinking 'bout leavin'
Gotta get you back in my shirt
Get you out that dress
Get you out themshoes you like so much
Everybody at the party is checking your body
I don't even mind it 'cause you're coming with me, girl
And I know it's only seven thirty-two but looking at you
I'm already ready to go
I'm already ready, are you ready?
'Cause I'm ready to go, go
Ready to go
I'm already ready to go
Ready to go
The song "Already Ready" by Dan + Shay describes a scenario where the singer and their partner are attending a party with their friends. The singer's partner spends a long time getting ready, but looks beautiful in whatever she wears. Once they arrive, the singer is already thinking about leaving with their partner, as he cannot wait to have her all to himself. Despite being surrounded by a noisy, crowded party, he only has eyes for his partner, who he wants to be alone with. As the song progresses, the singer becomes more desperate to leave with his partner, until they end up leaving together.
The lyrics of the song are straightforward, but the sentiment of the song is relatable. It is about wanting to be with someone you love, and not caring about anything else. The party serves as a backdrop for the singer's desire to be alone with his partner, and he cannot wait until they have left the party. The song's chorus, "I'm already ready to go, are you ready?" is particularly catchy and sticks in the listener's head long after the song has ended.
