KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day you kissed my lips
Light as a feather
And it went just like this
No, it's never been better
Than the summer of 2002 (O oh)
Mmm, we were only eleven
But acting like grown-ups
Drinking from plastic cups
Singing, "Love is forever and ever"
Well, I guess that was true
Dancing on the hood in the
Middle of the woods
On an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, say
Oops, I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time, uh
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young, uh
Singing at the top of both our lungs
Now we're under the covers
Fast forward to eighteen
We are more than lovers
Yeah, we are all we need
When we're holding each other
I'm taken back to 2002 (O oh) yeah
Dancing on the hood in the
Middle of the woods
On an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, say
Oops, I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time, uh
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young, uh
Singing at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love ooh ooh, ooh ooh
On the day we fell in love ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Dancing on the hood in the
Middle of the woods
On an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends oh, no
Oops, I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time, uh
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young, uh
Singing at the top of both our lungs
Oops, I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young, uh
Singing at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love ooh ooh, ooh ooh
On the day we fell in love ooh ooh, ooh ooh
On the day we fell in love ooh ooh, ooh ooh
On the day we fell in love ooh ooh, ooh ooh
On the day we fell in love, love, love
The lyrics to "2002" by KIDZ BOP Kids reflect a nostalgic look back at a past love story that began in the summer of 2002 when the singer was only eleven years old. It starts with the memory of a light, feather-like kiss and the innocence of youth, as they acted like grown-ups and drank from plastic cups. The lyrics emphasize the idea that love is forever and everlasting, and the singer realizes that it was true.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe moments of joy and carefree fun, as the singer and their childhood friends danced on the hood of an old Mustang in the middle of the woods, singing songs. The mention of iconic 90s/early 2000s songs like *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" and Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" depicts the nostalgia and influence of that era on the singer's memory.
Later in the song, the lyrics fast forward to when the singer is eighteen, showing that their love has grown and they have become more than just lovers; they are all each other needs. The refrain of dancing on the hood of the Mustang and singing with childhood friends reiterates the theme of cherishing those carefree moments from the past. Overall, the song evokes a sense of longing for the innocence and happiness of youth and the power of nostalgia in reminiscing about young love.
