Light On
Katy B ft. Ms. Dynamite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep on moving with the lights on
I keep on moving with the lights on
So come and play me just one more song
I keep on moving with the lights on
So you won’t scare me with the lights on

Step into the club
And then come a turn and them watch me
Step on to the floor man
Watch me on a clock way
Bass come like a trigger and
The DJ come and shot me
Rhythm takes control
And nothing can stop me but them got me
Because take a glass of water now
Dance is getting hotter now
Drowning in the heat now, I don't wanna leave
Rude girl, you know we look hot
From we tick the time, we drip drop
Caught up in the night
We ain’t ready to go home yet

Said I will keep on going until they say so
And even when they do it’s so hard for me to go
While some others at the clock room
And some others out the door
We can keep on going in the middle of the floor, yeah

I keep on moving with the lights on
So come and play me just one more song
I keep on moving with the lights on
So you won’t scare me with the lights on

I keep on moving with the lights on
So come and play me just one more song
I keep on moving with the lights on
So you won’t scare me with the lights on

Now you can watch me if you like it
'Cause I really don’t care
I’ll be the same if there was only me inside in here
'Cause this is where I’m meant to be
I ain’t going nowhere
You'll have to come and move me
If you want me out of here

Said I will keep on going until they say so
And even when they do it’s so hard for me to go
While some others at the clock room
And some others out the door
We can keep on going in the middle of the floor, yeah

I keep on moving with the lights on
So come and play me just one more song
I keep on moving with the lights on
So you won’t scare me with the lights on

I keep on moving with the lights on
So come and play me just one more song
I keep on moving with the lights on
So you won’t scare me with the lights on

Just one more, please take on gimme
Mr. Sound Boy, me not done, you not see me
Free in the heat and the beat 'till I sleep
Lord have mercy, oh the vibe is so sweet
Bad girl stamina can't done,
Lights on, still I dip and go down,
Tick it and a tock, and a dip it and a drop it
And a rock it, my selector don't stop it

I keep on moving with the lights on (I keep on moving with the lights on)
So come and play me just one more song
I keep on moving with the lights on
So you won’t scare me with the lights on

Gimme one more song
Lights on

I keep on moving with the lights on




Come on, play me one more song
With the lights on

Overall Meaning

The song "Lights On" was released by Katy B ft Ms Dynamite in September 2010. The song is generally about staying out all night dancing on the dance floor with the lights on. It's about the feeling of freedom and the excitement of the night. The lyrics describe the moment when you step into the club and hit the dance floor, and you feel a rush of energy through your body, and music takes over. The track is a combination of electronic dance and dubstep music that keeps the listener on their feet.


The chorus clearly states, "I keep on moving with the lights on, so you won't scare me with the lights on." This can be interpreted as not being afraid of anything in the light, but when it is dark, things can get scary. It can also mean that she is not afraid to let others see her dancing, enjoying herself and being wild on the dance floor. For the artist, the lights represent the symbol of acceptance and freedom.


The lyrics also bring out the concept of dancing as a stress reliever. Dancing allows people to let go of their worries and just be themselves. It's a way to escape from reality and just feel alive. The song ends with the artist requesting the DJ for just one more song with the lights on, signifying her desire to stay and never stop dancing.
