Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's goin' down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night you won't remember
I'll be the one you won't forget

Ooh-ooh (timber), ooh-ooh (timber)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (it's goin' down)
Ooh-ooh (timber), ooh-ooh (timber)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (it's goin' down, woo)

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
This biggity boy's a diggity dog
I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off
Twerking in their bras and thongs (timber)
Face down, booty up (timber)
That's the way we like to what (timber)
I'm slicker than an oil spill
She say she won't, but I bet she will (timber)

Swing your partner 'round and 'round
End of the night, it's goin' down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's goin' down
Swing your partner 'round and 'round
End of the night, it's goin' down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's goin' down

It's goin' down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night you won't remember
I'll be the one you won't forget
It's goin' down (it's goin' down), I'm yellin' timber
You better move (you better move), you better dance (you better dance)
Let's make a night you won't remember
I'll be the one you won't forget (you won't forget)

Whoa-oh-oh (timber), whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (timber)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (it's goin' down)
Whoa-oh-oh (timber), whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (timber)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (it's goin' down, woo)

Look up in the sky, it's a bird? It's a plane?
Nah, it's just me, ain't a damn thing changed
Live in hotels, swing on planes
Blessed to say, money ain't a thing
Club jumpin' like LeBron, now Voli
Order me another round, homie
We about to climb, why?
'Cause it's about to go down

Swing your partner 'round and 'round
End of the night, it's goin' down
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's goin' down
Swing your partner 'round and 'round
End of the night, it's goin' down (oh-oh-oh)
One more shot, another round
End of the night, it's goin' down

It's goin' down, I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night you won't remember
I'll be the one you won't forget
It's goin' down (it's goin' down), I'm yellin' timber
You better move, you better dance (you better dance)

Overall Meaning

The song "Timber" by Ke$ha, featuring Pitbull, is a party anthem about letting loose and having a good time. The chorus sets the tone for the song as Ke$ha yells out "it's going down, I'm yelling timber, you better move, you better dance," inviting listeners to join her in living in the moment and enjoying the night. The lyrics mention Miley Cyrus and her provocative dance moves, implying that everyone should let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the night to the fullest.


The phrase "timber" refers to the act of cutting down a tree, and the chorus of the song alludes to the idea of letting go and falling like a tree. This is reflected in the line that says, "the bigger they are, the harder they fall," which means that the more you let go and fall into the moment, the greater the sensation of release and freedom. The song encourages people to forget their worries and embrace the present moment, to remember the night as a time when they let go of their troubles and truly lived.
