The song "Bam Bam" by Ester Dean is about a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. The opening lines of "Bam Bam Bam, Get on the dope train, Fuck with the man, Your fuckin the wrong thang," suggest that the singer is urging the listener to take risks and live a little. She then goes on to criticize a woman's lack of ambition and independence, stating that "That pussy ain't shit without a gold chain" and "You need a hood rich bitch, sexy young thang" implying that material wealth and sex appeal determine a person's worth in her eyes.
The chorus, "Make your booty go bam," is a call to action, telling women to embrace their bodies and their sexuality. The singer likes it "hard" and believes that women should know what they want in bed. She is unapologetically assertive and tells the listener that she bites back if anyone tries to put her down. The final lines of the song, "Keep your loving but gimme that black card," suggest that the singer is after someone with money, power, and status, and isn't afraid to go after it.
