The music video:
The music video came out 9 days after the official release of the song on April 10. The video shows the band playing near a racecar rally with an airplane in the background. The video goes through showing Jonathan, falling for a race car girl. Jonathan then sneaks into a trailer of a racecar driver and gets into uniform. Jonathan gets into a car and races but crashes and comes out and the girl rushes to his side and gives him a kiss. He then leans up and gives a thumbs up. The video ends with the band walking away into the sunset.
Whoa Oh!

but I'm still hiding underneath
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
A thousand faces looking up at me
hands all pointing to the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
I'm standing on post and I'm posted up
Can't afford to lose them
I've got friends in highly low places
I'll go inside when I wanna party
grab a girl and dance(Don't touch me)
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all.
Girl, who taught you how to move like that
At this pace you're at, you're going way too fast
I, I saw you from across the room
It's me vs. every guy
It's your choice, you choose
I've got friends in highly low places
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
And maybe baby, you can rise above the rest to meet me
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa Whoa oh Whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
You're worth losing my self-esteem
Your clever words mean nothing more to me
than a line I heard in a movie
You're worth,
losing my losing my losing my self esteem
You're not worth,
putting myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
The lyrics to "Whoa Oh!" by Forever the Sickest Kids explore themes of anxiety, insecurity, and the pressures of social situations. The first verse suggests that the singer may be hiding their true self, despite projecting a positive and confident image. The second verse introduces a romantic interest, who the singer has noticed across the room. However, the chorus returns to the theme of feeling overwhelmed by social situations, despite continuing to push themselves through them. The bridge reveals that the romantic interest is not worth sacrificing the singer's self-esteem or subjecting themselves to uncomfortable situations.
The repeated use of "Whoa oh" in the chorus creates a catchy and memorable hook that is indicative of pop punk music. The song's upbeat tempo and edgy guitar riffs also contribute to this genre classification. The band's use of humor and irreverence sets them apart from other pop punk bands at the time, and their lyrics often poke fun at typical rock star behavior.
