Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doctor, doctor, where ya at? Give me something
I need your love, I need your love, I need your lovin'
You got that kind of medicine that keeps me comin'
My body needs a hero, come and save me
Something tells me you know how to save me
I've been feeling weird, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me come alive, come on and turn me on
Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on
I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on
Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on
Make me come alive, come on and turn me on
Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on
I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on
Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on (turn me on)
Boy, I'll make it, make it right
My temperature is super high
If I scream, if I cry
It's only 'cause I feel alive
My body needs a hero, come and save me
Something tells me you know how to save me
I've been feeling weird, oh
Oh, I need you to come and rescue me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me come alive, come on and turn me on
Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on
I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on
Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on
Make me come alive, come on and turn me on
Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on
I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on
Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on
You've got my life in the palm of your hands (palm of your hands)
Come save me now, I know you can (I know you can)
(Uh, uh)
D-d-d-d-don't let me die young
I just want you to father my young
I just want you to be my doctor
We can get it cracking, chiropractor
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I know you can save me and make me feel alive
Make me come alive, come on and turn me on
Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on
I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on
Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on
"Turn Me On" is a collaboration between David Guetta and Nicki Minaj, in which Minaj sings of the need for her lover to save her. The song's title carries a double entendre, referring both to Minaj's romantic and sexual desires as well as the power of music to "turn on" a listener. In the chorus, Minaj sings that she is "too young to die," highlighting her belief that her lover's attention, affection, and sexual prowess are essential to her survival.
Throughout the track, Minaj employs her characteristic rap-singing style, utilizing an array of vocal inflections to convey different emotions. The first verse begins with the repeated phrase, "Doctor, doctor, need you back home, baby," emphasizing her desperation for her lover's presence. She goes on to describe him as having "that kind of medicine that keeps me comin'," playing on the traditional representation of love as a sort of addiction. The song's bridge features Minaj rapping about her lover's ability to make her feel "alive" and "right," and she implores him to "come save me now, I know you can."
The track's overall message is one of passion and intensity, with Minaj's vocals being accentuated by Guetta's club beats and electronic synths. It is a dance-pop single that features different layers of energy with synths, vocal chops, remarkable percussions, and a captivating bass hook. The song debuted at number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and eventually peaked at number four. Moreover, it has been certified five times platinum by RIAA.
