The pair first gained recognition from their covers of popular Hip-Hop and Pop songs posted on YouTube. After offers from various record companies, the duo signed with Sony and Epic Records in June 2011.
Karmin is a collision of Nick’s Classic Rock upbringing and Jazz education (a trained trombonist) and Amy’s R&B influence and Pop background. Together they found music at its simplest form, percussion and voice.
In 2017, the duo took a break on Karmin to focus on another project known as "Qveen Herby".
Night Like This
Karmin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We 'bout to turn it, 'bout to burn it, 'bout to screw it up
You got no car to drive, you better hitch a ride
It's going down, it's going round, it's getting out of line
Whatever happens here is gonna disappear
All of your problems gonna drown 'em in the Belvedere
Nobody's keeping track how many drinks you had
Turn all of the lights down
And rock your body to the beat like this
We been going hard for a while now
And we been waiting for a night like this
That makes you go, oh oh
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
'Cause we been waiting for a night like this
I got a little buzz, hope they don't call the fuzz
This party's gonna be the craziest there ever was
So watch me do my dance, my liquid confidence
Has got me bumping, got me jumping out my party pants
Whatever happens here is gonna disappear
All of your problems gonna drown 'em in the Belvedere
Nobody's keeping track how many drinks you had
So it's okay to let go
Turn all of the lights down
And rock your body to the beat like this
We been going hard for a while now
And we been waiting for a night like this
That makes you go, oh oh
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
'Cause we been waiting for a night like this, yeah
(A night like this)
(A night like this)
(A night like this)
Take to the street, take my keys
Think I'm gonna need that D.D.
Don't judge, that's mean
This right here is my therapy
I never take bleep from any man
Never grew up I'm Peter Pan
Never land sleep no tryptophan
Get zzz's when I die understand?
Turn all of the lights down
And rock your body to the beat like this
We been going hard for a while now
And we been waiting for a night like this
That makes you go, oh oh
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
'Cause we been waiting for a night like this
Rock your body like, oh oh, rock your body
Turn all of the lights down
'Cause we been waiting for a night like this
The lyrics to Karmin's "Night Like This" convey the excitement and freedom of letting loose and having a good time with friends. The song encourages the listener to call up their friends and live in the moment, forgetting about their problems and worries. The line "Whatever happens here is gonna disappear" suggests that this night is a temporary escape from reality, and the alcohol ("Belvedere") is a way to drown one's sorrows and become more confident and carefree.
The chorus consistently repeats the phrase "Turn all of the lights down" and encourages the listener to let go and dance to the beat. This repeated phrase serves as the song's main hook and reinforces the idea of losing oneself in the music and atmosphere of the party. The singer also acknowledges the possibility of consequences, such as getting into trouble with the police ("hope they don't call the fuzz"), but ultimately dismisses them with the line "this right here is my therapy".
Overall, "Night Like This" is a song about living in the moment and enjoying oneself with friends, free from worries and judgement.
