What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the couples that we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
When it's exactly 12 o'clock, midnight
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year's Eve
Oh, maybe I'm crazy to suppose
That I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you receive
Oh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
Oh, maybe I'm crazy to suppose
That I'd ever be the one that you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you receive
Oh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
The lyrics of Kacey Musgraves's song "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" reflect the anticipatory and hopeful mood of the holiday season as we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another. The song expresses a sense of longing and uncertainty as the singer wonders who she will be spending New Year's Eve with and if her love interest will choose her out of the numerous invitations they will likely receive. The mention of the bells ringing and the couples kissing creates a vivid image of the celebratory environment of New Year's Eve and adds to the bittersweet tone of the song.
