It's Goin' Down
Dove Cameron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Huh, let's get this party started
I swear I'm cold-hearted
There's no negotiation
I'm not here for debatin'
You need some motivation?
Just look at Ben's face
Then ask yourself how long you think I'll remain patient
I'll throw him overboard and let him swim with killer sharks
You either hand over the wand or he'll be ripped apart

Now, let's all just be smart
Although for you that must be hard
You'll get your wand
No one has to come to any harm
Don't try to intimidate
Your bark is much worse than your bite
Who's the baddest of them all?
I guess we're finding out tonight

Let's go, bring it on
Better give us what we want
It's the wand for the crown
If you don't, it's going down

Let's go, make your move
Peace or war, it's up to you
Give him up and do it now
If you don't, it's going down

We want the wand
Or else the king is gone
Your time is running out
You should really watch your mouth

Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)

Okay, look, this is not a conversation
It's a do-or-die situation
If you don't give me back the king
I'll have no hesitation
I'll serve you right here
And I don't need a reservation
That way your whole pirate crew can have a demonstration
Release him now, and we can go our separate ways
Unless you wanna deal with me and the VK's

Ha ha, so that's your big speech, huh?
An empty ultimatum?

All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him
Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate him
And if he even starts to slip, I'll eliminate him
All it takes is one long look and I'll

Harry, we get it, chill

Let's go, bring it on
Better give us what we want
It's the wand for the crown
If you don't, it's going down

Let's go, make your move
Peace or war, it's up to you
Give him up and do it now
If you don't, it's going down

We want the wand
Or else the king is gone
Your time is running out
You should really watch your mouth

Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down

Hey, we don't have to choose
We don't have to light the fuse
Mal, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose
There's gotta be a better way (way)
Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance
You'll have your say

Silly king, you? Give me?
You're gonna give me a chance?
Well, not a chance

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)

Let's go, bring it on
Bring it on, it's going down
Time is running out
Bring it on, it's going down
Let's go, bring it on
Bring it on, it's going down
Time is running out
Bring it on, it's going down

Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)

Uma, Uma, Uma, Uma

What's my name?
What's my name? What's my name?
(Uma, Uma-la-la)
Say it now (Uma)

Overall Meaning

"It's Goin' Down" is a lively musical number from the Disney TV movie, "Descendants 2", sung by Dove Cameron, Thomas Doherty, and China Anne McClain. The song is a scene from the grand finale of the movie and captures the tense moment when Mal (Dove Cameron) faces off against Uma (China Anne McClain) to take back King Ben (Mitchell Hope) and the magical wand.


The lyrics of the first verse are spoken by Mal, who is cold-hearted and impatiently waits for the final showdown. She warns that she will throw Ben into the sea with a shark, and he will be ripped apart if Uma does not hand over the wand. Uma replies with a challenge, insisting that it's not a conversation, but a do-or-die situation. She threatens to humiliate or eliminate Ben if Mal tries to take him.


However, by the second verse, Mal suggests that they don't have to choose war and that there's a better way. She offers Uma a chance, assuring her that she will have her say. Still, Uma believes Mal's offer is only an illusion of choice and mocks her intentions. The chorus radiates energy, encouraging the final faceoff between the VKs and Uma's pirate crew. In the end, the VKs win, and Mal gets to trade the wand for Ben's life.
