Hot Chelle Rae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And leave a message every time (It's me again)
That's quite alright
And most days I just dust them off like that
Girls text me, you're the only one I text back
'Cause you know where the party's at
And I'm like, yeah
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you (oh oh oh)
And I'm like, yeah
Telling other girls I'm through
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you (oh oh oh)
So big, this thing that we got going on
Riding round downtown where you take the top off, yeah
It turns me on
And I'm like, whoa, girl
How'd you get me hooked like this?
One look, one touch, one kiss, one chick
And then I can't resist
And I'm like, yeah
Everything you heard is true
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you (oh oh oh)
And I'm like, yeah
Telling other girls I'm through
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you (oh oh oh)
Hang up on you (oh oh oh)
You got the style, you got the flavor
I want you now, I want you later
I'm hung up, so let's get down tonight
Floating around, a couple of gypsies
Shaking it up, we're getting tipsy
You show me yours 'cause I'm-ma show you mine
And I'm like, yeah
Everything you heard is true
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you
Yeah, telling other girls I'm through
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you
And I'm like, yeah
Everything you heard is true
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you (oh oh oh)
And I'm like, yeah
Telling other girls I'm through
Everybody knows I'm hung up on you (oh oh oh)
Hang up on you, (oh oh oh)
You got the style, you got the flavor
I want you now, I want you later
I'm hung up, so let's get down tonight, hung up on you
Hot Chelle Rae's song "Hung Up" is about the singer's obsession with a girl he's fallen for. The lyrics suggest that he can't get enough of her and that he's always thinking about her. The singer describes how he usually ignores girls who text him, but he always responds to this particular girl because she knows how to have a good time. He also talks about how he enjoys driving around with her with the top down, saying that it turns him on. Despite the fact that he knows he's hung up on her, he can't help himself and just wants to be with her.
The chorus emphasizes the point that everyone knows about his infatuation with her. He admits that he tells other girls he's through with them, but they know it's because he's hung up on this one girl. The bridge of the song adds to the idea of just how much he wants to be with her. The singer describes their wild lifestyle as they float around like gypsies, getting tipsy and showing off and is open about wanting her now and later.
Overall, the song is a catchy pop anthem about being in love with someone to the point of obsession. The music video also features a high-energy performance by the band, showing the excitement and fun of being hung up on someone.
