That I used to do, yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh
Well, I'm a big girl now, hmmm

The song "Touch Me" speaks about a new journey in life, where the singer seems to be moving on from the old ways of doing things. She declares that she is a "big girl now" and has the belief and desire to start afresh. She also calls out for someone to touch her, implying that she is ready to experience new things and is open to love and affection from someone special. Despite this openness to new beginnings, people cannot seem to understand this change in her, which suggests that there may have been some resistance or judgement from those around her. Still, she remains resolute in her decision to take charge of her life and pursue the things that she desires.
The song has a catchy and upbeat melody that inspires hope and a sense of adventure towards new beginnings. The repetition of the phrase "come on and touch me" emphasizes the singer's longing to be touched physically and emotionally. It is possible that the touch she seeks could represent a new relationship or a change in her life that she is willing to embrace. The song's lyrics and melody come together to create an anthem that encourages listeners to take control of their lives and seek out new experiences.
