Goldfrapp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing more to say
You're my favorite moment
You're my Saturday
'Cause you're my number one
I'm like a dog to get you
I want it up and on
Sunset only seconds
Just ripe then it's gone
Got no new intentions
Just right then it's gone
'Cause you're my number one
I'm like a dog to get you
I want it up and on
I'm like a dog to get you
I'll be there to meet you
Getting down to greet you
Howl under the moon
"Number 1" by Goldfrapp is a love song with a raw, sexual edge to it. The lyrics describe a relationship in which the singer's partner is their "number one," meaning they are the most important person in their life. The opening line "walk out into velvet" sets the scene for a night of passion and indulgence. By the second line, the singer reveals they have nothing more to say because their lover is enough for them. They then refer to their partner as their favorite moment and their Saturday, implying that they bring joy and pleasure to the singer's life.
The chorus repeats the line "you're my number one" and compares the singer's desire for their lover to that of a dog's. The metaphor suggests that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to be with their partner and to please them. This is followed by a reference to the fleeting nature of time and intentions. The singer is content to live in the moment and enjoy the time they have with their lover.
The song's mix of dreamy, atmospheric synths with a groovy beat and Alison Goldfrapp's dynamic vocal range has been praised by critics and helped the song become a hit for the band. The theme of sexual longing and infatuation has resonated with audiences, and the catchy chorus has ensured the song's enduring popularity.

“You’re my Saturday” remains the sweetest and sexiest thing you can say to a person
@nicks1451
21 years ago, Goldfrapp’s music changed my life. To this day, her music still sounds relevant.
@greenman6141
It's really THEIR music.
@michaelscampini1573
Because it is relevant.

Every gay man in the western hemisphere woke up to this realizing what being gay was
@kitcat-xn1mn
They play this at my job and I thought it was something that came out like last year
@entreguesaosbichos
It's a duo. It's not "her" music. In fact the music it's not hers, just the lyrics.
@josephdaffern
It’s criminal how the mainstream never scooped her up. So amazing live!
@Alzz2214
What?? Mainstream US you mean. Europe is far more progressive. Her album was a hit everywhere outside the US
@GronGrinder
@@Alzz2214 I live in the US and my Dad used to play Goldfrapp all the time on long road trips. Such a vibe. Made me love synthpop.
