All members of the band are originally from the Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The lead singer of MAGIC!, Nasri, had been working with and writing songs for different pop acts prior to the start of the band. He had met Mark Pelli in the studio and within a week they had written the song "Don't Judge Me" for Chris Brown. Nasri described the chemistry between himself and Pelli as "different than writing chemistry, it was more artistic." A few weeks later, while Mark played a reggae tune on the guitar, Nasri suggested to start a band like "modern-day Police. 2012
Red Dress
Magic! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's tried on everything
Every little thing inside her closet
And she knows it's getting late
Knows that I been waiting and I'm starving
'Cause we been working overtime
She wants to make a night that we'll remember
Thinking it's alright, put on whatever
But I've been on my best behaviour
Pacing back and forth
And ten thousand lifetimes later
When she walks through the door
I said hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
You in that red dress
You in that red dress
Yeah, it's hard to concentrate
Finish up your plate, she whispers to me
But I got one thing on my mind
As they pour the wine and it consumes me
But I've been on my best behaviour
Not to 'cause a scene
But when we finally get home later
It's just you and me
And I said hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
Hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
You in that red dress
You
Hey you with the red dress on
I said hey you with the red dress on
Hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
You in that red dress
You with that red dress on
You with that red dress on

She's tried on everything
She has gone through all her clothes in her wardrobe
Every little thing inside her closet
She has gone through all her clothes in her wardrobe, even the small things
And she knows it's getting late
She is aware that it's getting late
Knows that I been waiting and I'm starving
She is aware that I have been waiting for her and I'm very hungry
'Cause we been working overtime
We have been working very hard
She wants to make a night that we'll remember
She wants to make a memorable night
And I'm staring at the time
I'm looking at the time
Thinking it's alright, put on whatever
I'm thinking it's okay, she can wear whatever she wants
But I've been on my best behaviour
I have been well-behaved
Pacing back and forth
I'm walking back and forth
And ten thousand lifetimes later
It feels like it's been a very long time
When she walks through the door
When she finally comes through the door
I said hey you with the red dress on
I greet her, saying 'Hey, you with the red dress'

Yeah, it's hard to concentrate
It's difficult to keep my focus
Finish up your plate, she whispers to me
She tells me to finish my meal quietly
But I got one thing on my mind
I am only thinking of one thing
As they pour the wine and it consumes me
As they pour the wine for me, it takes over my mind
Not to 'cause a scene
I'm trying my best not to make any trouble
But when we finally get home later
Later, when we finally get home
It's just you and me
It will only be us two
Hey you with the red dress on
Hey, you with the red dress on
You with that red dress on
You are looking beautiful in that red dress
I gotta find a way to take it off
I need to find a way to take off that beautiful dress
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
I have a lot of love for you, and it's growing stronger
