Dua Lipa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We created something phenomenal
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
You got me feeling diamond rich
Nothing on this planet compares to it
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
Who needs to go to sleep, when I got you next to me?
All night, I'll riot with you
I know you got my back and you know I got you
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Lights out, follow the noise
Baby, keep on dancing like you ain't got a choice
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Adrenaline keeps on rushing in
Love the simulation we're dreaming in
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
I don't wanna live another life
'Cause this one's pretty nice
Living it up
Who needs to go to sleep, when I got you next to me?
All night, I'll riot with you
I know you got my back and you know I got you
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Lights out, follow the noise
Baby, keep on dancing like you ain't got a choice
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Hold on just a little tighter
Come on
Hold on, tell me if you're ready
Come on
Baby, keep on dancing
Let's get physical
Hold on just a little tighter
Come on
Hold on, tell me if you're ready
Come on
Baby, keep on dancing
Let's get physical
All night, I'll riot with you
I know you got my back and you know I got you
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Lights out, follow the noise
Baby, keep on dancing like you ain't got a choice
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Let's get physical
Physical
Let's get physical
Come on, phy-phy-phy-physical
In her song Physical, Dua Lipa describes a relationship that is out of the norm and defies common love. The persona in the song feels that they have created something phenomenal with their partner, a love that is incomparable to anything else on the planet. They ask their partner if they agree with their unconventional way of loving. The energy in the room is high as the persona says that they don’t need to sleep when they are with their partner. All they want to do is stay up all night and party with them. The chorus emphasizes the need to get physical, using dance as a way to express their love. They encourage their partner to keep on dancing and to follow the noise.
Adrenaline is rushing in as they simulate their love. The persona is content with the life they are living and they don’t want to live any other life. The second chorus repeats the need to get physical and to keep on dancing. The bridge encourages their partner to hold on tighter, asking if they are ready for the intensity of the love they share. The song ends with an exclamation to get physical.
The lyrics suggest a relationship that is full of vitality and unconventional. The use of dance is a metaphor for love making, emphasizing the physical aspect of the love shared by the persona and their partner. The song is a celebration of this unconventional love.
