C'Mon
Ke$h Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That old record machine.
Saw the name of your band
Written on the marquee.
It's a full moon tonight
So we gettin' rowdy
Yeah, we gettin' rowdy
Feelin' like I'm a highschooler
Sippin on a warm wine cooler
Hot 'cause the party don't stop
I'm in a crop top like I'm
Workin' at Hooters.
We been keepin' it PG
But I wanna get a little frisky
Come, give me some of that yum
Like a lollipop, let me
Set you free.
C'mon, 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny
We're both goin' home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Write our names on the wall
In the back of the bar.
Steal some bubblegum from
The corner Maxi-Mart.
Yeah, we laughin' like kids
Causin' trouble in the dark
Causin' trouble in the dark
Tr-tr-trouble in the dark.
Feelin' like a sabre-tooth tiger
Sipper on a warm Budweiser
Touch me and give me that rush
Better pack a toothbrush
Gonna pull an all-nighter.
We been keepin' it couture
But I wanna get it on vulture
Come, give me some of that yum
Like a lollipop, baby
Don't be scared.
C'mon, 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny
We're both goin' home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
(I don't wanna), go to sleep
I wanna stay up all night
I wanna just screw around.
(I don't wanna), think about
What's gonna be after this
I just wanna live right now.
(I don't wanna), go to sleep
I wanna stay up all night
I wanna just screw around.
(I don't wanna), think about
What's gonna be after this
I just wanna live right now.
(So come on)!
C'mon, 'cause I know what I like
If you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny
We're both goin' home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
The lyrics to Ke$ha's song C'mon are packed with themes around youthful energy, excitement, spontaneity, and living in the moment. The first verse sets the scene with Ke$ha drinking wine coolers and noticing a guy from a band next to an old record player. She signals her intentions with the refrain (Let's go for it just for tonight/C'mon, c'mon, c'mon), using a catchy tune and an upbeat tempo to convey her sense of urgency and sense of play.
The second verse tells of the pair indulging in more mischief like spray painting their names onto a wall or stealing bubble gum from a corner store. Ke$ha's portrayal of their actions suggests a sense of freedom and rebellion, carried over from her earlier themes of living in the moment. She takes the opportunity to reinforce this sentiment with the line "Feelin' like a sabre-tooth tiger/Sipper on a warm Budweiser," tying her sense of play to a previous age.
The bridge shows Ke$ha's anxiety about the future as she argues for a night of pure abandonment (I don't wanna think about/What's gonna be after this/I just wanna live right now). The song ends on a fun and upbeat note, still exulting in the youthful energy of living for the moment.

@pav_von
Literally NOBODY writes pop anthems as infectious as Kesha. Her songs make me feel young, happy, and alive when nothing else can. We need this kind of raw energy back.
@edenleblanc3005
you mean Ke$ha, right?
@williammcmahon6467
The spot is waiting for someone to take it but I feel like we’ve all been miserable and in lockdown so long it would come across ignorant to release feel good party music like this... hers and dr Luke’s song formula was something else. Warrior and cannibal still stand as pop standards to this day
@williammcmahon6467
@Eden LeBlanc getting rid of the $ sign is some cop out shit
@danielramos5904
stream her album “high road”
@nickzproductions
you mean nobody writes pop anthems as infectious as Bonnie Mckee does? look her up, she wrote all the big radio hits for a few good years back in the day, she wrote for kesha, britney, katy perry, taio cruz
@jeannettenunez3537
i think we all love kesha and her songs are always so nostalgic because they’re all about having the best times on friday nights with our friends. whether it’s at parties, football games, taking bike rides at sunset with your friends. her songs are rlly all about just having good times and being happy. and tbh rn our generation is just depressed
@yukisora7438
speaking some facts
@tteazu
Why’d you have to expose us like that? 😔
@jeannettenunez3537
Yuki Sora ikr lmao
