Heartbeat Song
Kelly Clarkson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
You, where the hell did you come from?
You're a different, different kind of fun
And I'm so used to feeling numb
Now, I got pins and needles on my tongue
Anticipating what's to come
Like a finger on a loaded gun
I can feel it rising
Temperature inside me
Haven't felt it for a long time
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
All night long
I, I wasn't even gonna go out
But I never would have had a doubt
If I'da known where I'd be now
Your hands on my hips
And my kiss on your lips
Oh I could do this for a long time
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
Until tonight I only dreamed about you
I can't believe I ever breathed without you
Baby you make me feel alive and brand new
Bring it one more time, one more time
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
In Kelly Clarkson's Heartbeat Song, we see the artist expressing a newfound sense of excitement and passion in her life, particularly in her love life. In the first verse, she admits that she's been so used to feeling "numb" that she's forgotten how to turn up the volume on her life, but that's all about to change with this new person in her life. She's excited for what's to come, even if it feels a bit dangerous or loaded, hence her comparison of it to a finger on a loaded gun. In the second verse, she gives more detail about this person, saying that they're a "different kind of fun" that she's not used to, but now that she's with them, she can't imagine being without them. She revels in the physical intimacy they share, feeling like she could stay that way forever. The chorus is a declaration of her newfound boldness and willingness to experience all the excitement her life and love have to offer, a metaphorical anthem that represents her new perspective on life.

Up, up, up, up all night long
Oh, up, up all night long
