Formed in 2008 by friends of ten years Jordan Arts and Sam McCarthy, Kids of 88 are best known for their single My House which reached number one on the RIANZ charts. Their new single, Just A Little Bit, debuted at #13 on the chart. They released their first album entitled "Sugarpills" on August 16, 2010. They describe their music as a cross between a late 80s police drama intro theme and a sophisticated super hussy. Arts and McCarthy are both somewhat elusive and do not give many interviews, but it is known that the two have been best friends for ten years. They attended St Peter's College in Auckland where they first formed the band Incursa and they ended up winning the 2004 Smokefree Rockquest. Sharing a passion for music, they then decided to become professional musicians. Both McCarthy and Arts were in a band named Cap Gun Hero before KO88, and McCarthy was also a member of Goodnight Nurse.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we're on for a good time
Free that worry from your mind
I can take you to a place, I won't be hiding
Everybody's letting go and they're inviting

I don't wanna waste any more time
I wanna get real with some people I like
I know where we can get away from that all

I just wanna do what I'm meant to do
I wanna let go, wanna set the mood
Can you cover me in what we discover

I just wanna feel the love
I just wanna feel the love
And I'm looking out on everyone
Oh, I just wanna feel the love

Feel the light of a new day
Let it touch you in a new way
I can take you to a place, there's no escaping
Feel the freedom in your body liberating

I don't wanna waste any more time
I wanna get real with some people I like
I know where we can get away from that all
I just wanna do what I'm meant to do
I wanna let go, wanna set the mood
Can you cover me in what we discover

I just wanna feel the love
I just wanna feel the love
And I'm looking out on everyone
Oh, I just wanna feel the love

Feel the light of a new day

I don't wanna waste any more time
I wanna get real with some people I like
I know where we can get away from that all
I just wanna do what I'm meant to do
I wanna let go, wanna set the mood
Can you cover me in what we discover

I just wanna feel the love
I just wanna feel the love
And I'm looking out on everyone
Oh, I just wanna feel the love

Feel the light of a new day
Let it touch you in a new way

If we're on for a good time
Free that worry from your mind
