Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Theres some freaks in the livin'room gettin it on
And they ain't leavin till six in the mornin'

If you don't know where your from and you
Don't know where your goin but im so lit

I don't know where im at; where im from;
Or where im goin...
She drank a couple shots of that pat-rone,
Now she wanna get my name tatted on,

I took her to the tattoo shop,
So she could get a tattoo of my name on her cha! cha!

Time is money i got money on my mind
Life is short im just tryin ta buy time
Tik Tok baby life is a race just make sure you make a pitstop!

(Ke$ha)
Don't stop! make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up

Tonight imma fight till we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock but the party won't stop, no!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

Don't stop! make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up

Tonight imma fight till we see the sunlight

Tick Tock on the clock but the party wont stop, no!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

Ain't got a care in the world, but got plenty of beer,
Ain't got no money in my pockets but im already here,
And now the dudes are linin up cus they here we got,

Swagger, but we kick em to the curb unless they look like mcjagger...
I'm talkin about everybody gettin crunk
Boys tryna touch my junk

Gonna smack em if he gettin to drunk...
Now now we goin till they kick us out

Or the Police shut us down,
Police shut us down.

Po-po shut us (Down...)
Don't stop! make it pop

DJ, blow my speakers up

Tonight imma fight till we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock but the party won't stop, no!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Don't stop! make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight imma fight till we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock but the party won't stop, no!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
(DJ...) You build me up, you break me down.
My heart it pounds, yeah you got me
With my hands up, you got me now
You got that sound yeah you got me
(DJ...) You build me up, you break me down.
My heart it pounds, yeah you got me
With my hands up, put your hands up
Pur your hands up!
(Now the party doesn't start till i walk in)
Don't stop! make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight imma fight till we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock but the party won't stop, no!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Don't stop! make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight imma fight till we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock but the party won't stop, no!




Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha and Pitbull talk about partying and hooking up with strangers. The opening line describes a wild party with people hooking up in the living room, and the party not stopping until 6 in the morning. The chorus is an invitation to let loose, forget about cares, and party until the sun comes up.


The second verse is about living in the moment and not worrying about the future or the past. It talks about getting drunk and getting tattoos, even getting someone's name tattooed on oneself. The following lines talk about time being money and the need to make the most of every moment. Otherwise, the race of life will leave you behind, so it's essential to make pit stops along the way. The song encourages people to dance, even if they don't have any money or cares, and to party until the police shut them down.

The good times when:

TikTok was just a song by kesha.
Fortnight was a unit of time.
Corona was just a beer.

Life was simple and good.
