The lyrics of Lulu And The Luvvers's song "Shout" express joy and excitement, encouraging the listener to express their feelings and shout out loud. The lyrics evoke the feeling of falling head over heels in love and the rush of emotions that come with it. The singer encourages the listener to express their love and give in to their feelings, shouting out loud in declaration. The repetition of the word "shout" is used as a cathartic release of emotions, and the rhythm is upbeat and energetic, urging the listener to dance along.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Say you will," encouraging the listener to declare their love, and "Throw your head back," signaling the freedom of expression and abandonment to the moment. The verses express the singer's deep longing for the loved one and how the person has been good to them, even better than they have been to themselves. The song builds up to a crescendo of shouting and jumping, a physical embodiment of the emotions being expressed in the lyrics. In light of the song's release in the 1960s, the lyrics can also be interpreted as a call for social liberation and an expression of freedom.
