Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fedde Le Grand & DJ Jeroenski's song "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" are simple and repetitive, but they effectively convey a sense of excitement and energy. The repeated plea to put one's hands up can be interpreted as an invitation to let loose and enjoy the music, while the line "put your hands up for Detroit" is a nod to the city that inspired the song.


Despite being a dance track, there is a sense of nostalgia and affection for Detroit, which is referred to as "a lovely city."

Can we bring this back? This feeling? This music? This vibe. The world needs more of this

@jackr819

A LOT of music nowadays lacks any euphoria in my opinion, so I agree with you, we need to bring this vibe back and that's coming from someone who mixes Drum and bass/Jump up. Whenever I can I try to implement an old banger like this one into my mixes.

@jonpeley

Electro-house was a pain in the ass. It's not needed anymore.
