Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold
This one for them hood girls
Them good girls straight masterpieces
Stylin', wilin', livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Gotta kiss myself, I'm so pretty
Call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire man
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Say my name you know who I am
I'm too hot (hot damn)
And my band 'bout that money, break it down
Girls hit your hallelujah (whoo)
Girls hit your hallelujah (whoo)
Girls hit your hallelujah (whoo)
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown funk gon' give it to you

Don't believe me just watch (come on)
Don't believe me just watch uh
Don't believe me just watch
Don't believe me just watch
Don't believe me just watch

Hey, hey, hey, oh
Stop, wait a minute
Fill my cup, put some liquor in it
Take a sip, sign a check
Julio, get the stretch
Ride to Harlem, Hollywood
Jackson, Mississippi
If we show up, we gon' show out
Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Call the police and the fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire man
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Bitch say my name you know who I am

And my band 'bout that money
Break it down
Girls hit your hallelujah (whoo)

The opening lines of the song βThis hit that ice cold, Michelle Pfeiffer, that white goldβ is an ode to the iconic actress Michelle Pfeiffer in the film The Fabulous Baker Boys. The βwhite goldβ reference is to Pfeiffer's characterβs dress, which was white and sparkly. The chorus of the song βGirls hit your hallelujahβ is a call-to-action asking for people to let down their hair, have fun, and celebrate. Itβs an upbeat, dance anthem that celebrates the spirit of the city.
The song is full of pop culture references, including βGot Chucks on with Saint Laurent," which is a reference to wearing Converse sneakers with Saint Laurent apparel. The line βSmoother than a fresh jar of Skippy" refers to the brandβs creamy peanut butter. The lines βJulio, get the stretch / Ride to Harlem, Hollywood / Jackson, Mississippi" are a nod to the popular Limo service βJulio's Limo Serviceβ and popular locations to be picked up from.
The melody of the song is a blend of funk, soul, and hip-hop, and the lyrics speak of having fun, being confident, and owning your sexuality. It is a celebration of the urban, party spirit. The chords of the song are Am7-D9-Gmaj7-Em7.
