Sexy To Me
JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Body, check
My sensuality, check
Car keys and my paycheck
Now I'm ready (Danger!)
Tonight I'm a bit crazy
Only the music can save me
You're my man today
Tomorrow you gon' hate me
I'm not myself tonight
Got a water bottle filled with somethin' else tonight
It's gon' be alright
As soon as they cut off these lights
'Cause the beat came on
The ground just shook
And it feels so good, it feels so good
No matter what you think, it's understood
Get it? Got it? Good.
When I do my thing, they all gon' look
And it feels so good, it feels so good
If you call my phone, it's off the hook
Do you get it? Got it? Good.
I don't need nobody
'Cause I'm sexy to me, oh yeah
You keep doin' you tonight
'Cause I'm doin' me, oh yeah
We gon' rock the party like we up in Ibiza, yeah
I don't need nobody
'Cause I'm sexy to me, oh yeah
Wanna be mad?
Well, okay-kay
I'll be in the booth with the DJ
Free shots all around, it's my b-day
Get a little he-he like MJ.
'Cause the beat came on
The ground just shook
And it feels so good, it feels so good
No matter what you think, it's understood
Get it? Got it? Good.
When I do my thing, they all gon' look
And it feels so good, it feels so good
If you call my phone, it's off the hook
Do you get it? Got it? Good.
I don't need nobody
'Cause I'm sexy to me, oh yeah
You keep doin' you tonight
'Cause I'm doin' me, oh yeah
We gon' rock the party like we up in Ibiza, yeah
I don't need nobody
'Cause I'm sexy to me, oh yeah
Everybody say,
(Hey, hey...)
Oh aye oh, oh oh
'Cause I'm sexy to me
Oh aye oh, oh oh
'Cause I'm sexy to me
Oh aye oh, oh oh
'Cause I'm sexy to me
(Yeah!)
I don't need nobody
'Cause I'm sexy to me, oh yeah
You keep doin' you tonight
'Cause I'm doin' me, oh yeah
We gon' rock the party like we up in Ibiza, yeah
I don't need nobody
'Cause I'm sexy to me, oh yeah
Yeah
Oh aye oh, oh oh
Keep it sexy for me
Yeah
Oh aye oh, oh oh
Keep it sexy for me
Yeah
Oh aye oh, oh oh
Keep it sexy for me
Yeah
Oh aye oh, oh oh

In "Sexy To Me," JoJo is confidently proclaiming her self-worth, independence, and sensuality. She asserts that she doesn't need anybody else to feel sexy or validated, as long as she feels good about herself. She sets the stage by making sure that her mind, body, and sensuality are all in check, as well as ensuring she has her car keys and paycheck.
JoJo admits that she is "a bit crazy" and only the music can save her. She's on a mission to have a good time, and nothing can hold her down. She's ready to have a wild night, make questionable choices, and let loose. She explains that she's not herself tonight and that she has a water bottle filled with something else besides water to get her through the night. However, once the beat comes on, she feels empowered and liberated. She's confident in her ability to turn heads and make the party her own.
In the chorus, JoJo repeats that she doesn't need anybody else to feel sexy, and that she's doing her own thing. She encourages others to do the same and to "keep it sexy for me." Ultimately, "Sexy To Me" is an anthem for feeling good about oneself and not needing approval or validation from anyone else.
