This is how we do
Katy Perry Feat RiFF Raff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slow cooking pancakes for my boy, still up, still fresh, as a daisy
Playing ping pong all night long, everything's on me and then hazy
Chanel this, Chanel that, hell yeah
All the girls vintage Chanel baby
It's no big deal, it's no big deal, it's no big deal
This is no big deal
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
Big hoops, and the room leaves, my click happening, my Maseratti
Said to Barbara, chique, at the super rica, grabbing tacos, checking out hotties
Now we talking astrology, getting our nails did, all Japanese-y
Day drinking at the Wildcats, sucking real bad at Mariah karaoke
It's no big deal, it's no big deal, it's no big deal
This is no big deal
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
This one goes out to ladies, at breakfast, in last night's dress
Uh-huh, I see you
Yo, this goes out to all you kids that still have their cars at the club valet and it's Tuesday
Yo, shout out to all you kids, buying bottle service, with your rent money
Respect
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
This is how we do
This goes out to all you people going bed with a ten and waking up with a two
This is how we do
Ha, not me
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin’ ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do, this is how we do
What? Wait. No, no, no
Bring the beat back, that's right
The song "This Is How We Do" by Katy Perry is a feel-good anthem that celebrates the carefree and fun-loving lifestyle of young people. The lyrics describe some of the typical activities that young people indulge in, such as sipping on drinks, cooking pancakes, playing ping-pong, driving a Maserati, and going to nightclubs. The song celebrates the fact that young people don't take themselves too seriously and are not afraid to live life on their own terms.
The line "sipping on rosé, sipping on sun, coming up all lazy" evokes a sense of relaxation and enjoyment, as if the singer is simply basking in the sun and enjoying a drink. The lines "Chanel this, Chanel that, hell yeah, all the girls vintage Chanel baby" suggest that the singer and her friends enjoy luxury fashion brands and are not afraid to flaunt it.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "This is how we do" four times, emphasizing the fact that this lifestyle is the norm for young people. The song ends with the line "Bring the beat back, that's right," suggesting that the singer wants to keep the party going and continue to live life to the fullest.
