JX's song "Son Of A Gun" is a lively and infectious dance track about being pursued by someone who you consider to be a "dirty son of a gun." The repeated refrain "I ain't just on the run" implies that the singer is not going to back down from this pursuer and is ready to stand their ground. There is a defiant and rebellious tone to the lyrics that are delivered with an unapologetic swagger. The repetition of the phrase "You dirty son of a gun" emphasizes the singer's anger and frustration with their pursuer who might be causing them some trouble.
The repeated "Oohoo" and "Yeah yeah yeaha" sounds work well with the bouncy and upbeat melody of the song, which gives it an infectious and catchy quality. The titular phrase "Son of a gun" is commonly used as slang for someone who is a bit of a troublemaker or a rascal. The lyrics seem to portray a situation where this protagonist is being chased by someone that they don't have much respect for. The song's lyrics offer a sense of defiance and determination against this pursuer.
Overall, the song's positive and upbeat tone combines with lyrics about overcoming tough situations to make for an energizing dance track that inspires listeners to take a stand against any challenging situations that come their way.
