Bang bang bang
Is it the way that you're movin'
The way that you're making my heart beat
Is it the sound of your voice
The way that you're talking to me
Is it the scent of your hair
Is it the way that you're dressed
You believe you're the best
No, I think it's the look in your eyes
Bang, bang, bang
You drive me insane, sane, sane
Bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, insane, sane, sane
Bang, bang
Na, na'
Bang, bang
Is it the look of your face
I'm losing my base (can't you see)
Is it the style of your walk
All the way you talk, I don't know
Is it the way that you're dressed
That you believe you're the best
I think it's the look in your eyes
Like bang, bang, bang
You drive me insane, sane, sane
Bang, bang
Hit me like bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, insane, sane, sane
Bang, bang'
The first verse of "Bang Bang Bang" is a desperate plea for the singer to understand why they're so infatuated with the person they're addressing. The chorus suggests that this person is driving the singer insane with their allure and charm. The second verse further emphasizes the mystery of this pull that the other person has, with the singer questioning if it's the person's physical appearance or their confidence-boosting attitude that's attracting them so strongly. The repetition of the phrase "bang bang bang" in the chorus serves to re-emphasize just how intense and overwhelming the singer's attraction is.
Overall, the song is a representation of the inexplicable but powerful attraction that can exist between two people. The singer is unable to even identify the source of their attraction but knows that it is driving them "insane". The use of the phrase "bang bang bang" is a clever metaphor for the impact of this attraction, as if the other person is causing a series of jolts that the singer can't resist.
