All Night Long
Hot Dollar Feat. Yung Berg Pitbull & K. Young Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got dressed up, up to the nines
I took a look in the mirror, I wish I was thinner
Then everything would be fine

At least I smell nice, so come on and breathe me in
What's the point? what's the point? what's the point?
What's the point? what's the point? what's the point?

?Cause everybody looks famous
And they've been wasting lots of time
Everybody feels special tonight

It?s a show down and it?s down to the wire
The faces so warm, so pale and drawn
The last one?s to retire

And if no one can manage a smile, well
What's the point? what's the point? what's the point?
What's the point? what's the point? what's the point?

?Cause everybody looks famous
And they've been wasting lots of time
Everybody is special in their mind's eye

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Night, up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up all night, up all night
We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night

Up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up all night, up all night
We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night

Up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up all night, up all night

Rock bottom, rock bottom
You've hit rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom
You've hit rock bottom

?Cause everybody looks famous
And we've been wasting lots of time
Everybody is special in their mind's eye

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody feels special tonight
Up all night, up all night, up all night

Up all night, up all night
We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hot Dollar Feat. Yung Berg Pitbull & K. Young's song All Night Long describe the experience of getting dressed up for a night out and feeling self-conscious about one's appearance, wishing to be thinner. This feeling is contrasted with the atmosphere of the party, where everyone looks famous and feels special. The lyrics suggest that this feeling of superficial fame and validation is fleeting, and that ultimately everyone is special in their own way, but it can be easy to lose sight of this in the midst of social pressure and partying.

The repeated question of "what's the point?" highlights a sense of confusion and questioning about the purpose of the party and the pursuit of fame and validation. The lyrics suggest that true validation comes from within, rather than seeking it externally from others. The repetition of "up all night" throughout the chorus emphasizes the party atmosphere and the desire to keep the night going, despite any doubts or insecurities.

Overall, the lyrics of All Night Long convey a complex mix of emotions and themes, exploring the tension between external validation and internal fulfillment, as well as the desire to let go and enjoy the moment versus the urge to constantly strive for something more.

Line by Line Meaning

I got dressed up, up to the nines
I put on my best clothes

I took a look in the mirror, I wish I was thinner
But I feel insecure about my body

Then everything would be fine
Thinking that being thin would make me happy

At least I smell nice, so come on and breathe me in
But at least I smell good and I want people to notice

What's the point? what's the point? what's the point?
Asking myself why I bother with all of this

?Cause everybody looks famous
Realizing that everyone else looks glamorous

And they've been wasting lots of time
And maybe they're wasting their time too

Everybody feels special tonight
Feeling like tonight is a special night for everyone

It?s a show down and it?s down to the wire
Feeling like something important is happening tonight

The faces so warm, so pale and drawn
Seeing everyone's faces in this intense moment

The last one?s to retire
Feeling like no one wants to leave first

And if no one can manage a smile, well
Feeling like the mood is tense and no one is happy

?Cause everybody looks famous
Feeling like everyone looks like a celebrity

And we've been wasting lots of time
And maybe we're all wasting our time

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Singing along to the catchy chorus

Up all night, up all night, up all night
Staying awake all night long

We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night
And not going to bed anytime soon

Rock bottom, rock bottom
Feeling like we've hit rock bottom

You've hit rock bottom
And maybe we have, in some way

Everybody is special in their mind's eye
But still feeling like we're all special in our own way

Everybody feels special tonight
Especially on this important night
