Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So turn it up
I like it hard
So blow it up
I like it loud
So turn it up
I like it hard
Got my legs around your neck like a turn up
Cook,cook,cook,cook
Get me all around
Give it all
Give it all
Give it all
What time
You better turn around
Got the windows
You better fire out right now
What time
You better turn around
You gonna see I like it loud
You gonna see it I like it loud
Just turn me up like a radio
Turn me up like a radio
Turn me up like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
I like it loud
So turn it up
I like it hard
So blow it up
Face on the bottom
Hold on to my [?]
Drop,drop,drop,drop
Hello, yeah baby hello
What time
You better turn around
Got the windows
You better fire out right now
What time
You better turn around
You gonna see I like it loud
You gonna see it I like it loud
Just turn me up like a radio
Turn me up like a radio
Turn me up like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
It's so hot in my trunk
Your speakers are on fire
Turn me up like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
Just turn me up like a radio
Turn me up like a radio
Turn me up like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
It's so hot in my trunk
Your speakers are on fire
Turn me up like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
The lyrics of Kristinia DeBarge's song "Radio" express a desire for high-energy music that is loud, hard, and explosive. The repetition of the lines "I like it loud, so turn it up / I like it hard, so blow it up" emphasizes the importance of intensity in the music. The line "Got my legs around your neck like a turn up" is a provocative image that suggests a physical connection between the listener and the music. The repeated phrase "Turn me up like a radio" is a metaphor that compares the artist to a radio, whose volume and intensity can be adjusted by the listener.
