Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can boogie down, down up on down
The boogie sound, down up on down
The boogie sound, down up on down
The boogie sound, down up on down

Let's groove tonight
Share the spice of life
Baby, slice it right
We're gonna groove tonight

Let this groove get you to move
It's alright (alright), alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
So stand up (alright), alright

Gonna tell what you can do with my love
Alright
Let you know, girl
You're looking good, you're out of sight
Alright
Just move yourself
And glide like a 747
And lose yourself in the sky
Among the clouds in the Heavens 'cause

Let this groove light up your fuse
It's alright (alright), alright, ooh-oh
Let this groove set in your shoes
So stand up (alright), alright

Let me tell you what you can do with my love
Alright
Gotta let you know, girl
You're looking good you're out of sight
Alright
Just tell the D.J. to play your favorite tune
Then you know it's okay
What you found is happening now (ooh-oh)

Let this groove light up your fuse
It's alright (alright), alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
So stand up (stand up, alright), alright

Let this groove get you to move
It's alright (alright), alright (yeah)
Let this groove set in your shoes
So stand up (alright), alright

You will find piece of mind
On the floor, take a little time
Come and see, you and me
Give a little sign
I'll be there after a while
If you want my love
We can boogie on down
Down, boogie on down
Down, we boogie on down
Down, we boogie on down
On down (hey)

Overall Meaning

Let's Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire is a funk and disco-era classic with infectious grooves that is no doubt an invitation to the dancefloor. The song is all about letting the music take over and lose yourself to the beat. The lyrics convey a message of unbridled joy and a desire to connect with others in a celebration of life. The lyrics encourage listeners to boogie down and embrace the boogie sound that will make them feel alive.


The chorus serves as the main message of the song, “Let’s groove tonight, share the spice of life, baby slice it right, we're gonna groove tonight.” The verses, on the other hand, offer guidance to the listeners on how to get on the dance floor and how to lose themselves in the music's rhythm. The use of repetition, particularly in the chorus, aids in emphasising the need for listeners to join in the groove and move their bodies to the rhythm. The lyrics convey a sense of community and that everyone who is at the party is welcome, as long as they join in the fun.
