Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, hey (hey, hey)
Ooh-oh
I'm the kinda girl who doesn't say a word
Who sits at the curb and waits for the world
But I'm about to break out, about to break out
I'm like a crook tonight
I caught you starin' at me and I was thinkin' clearly
And I'm kinda shy but you're super fly yeah, I could be your kryptonite
Like, ooh, ooh, ooh
Light my heart up baby like a match stick
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And hit the gas quick
Ready or not, here I come
Where you at? The night is young
In the crowd the music's loud, but I will find you
Ready or not, here I come
I like your face, do you like my song?
Just sing it la la la la la la and I'll find you
Ready or not (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ready or not (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Hello, my name is (Bridgit)
Nice to meet you
I think you're famous, where have I seen you?
You'll be my William, I'll be your Kate
Livin' like a fairy tale
We could have a palace right next to Oprah
Thirty-seven cars and a yacht down in Boca
Take me away wherever you say
Yeah, we could be setting sail
Like, ooh, ooh, ooh
Light my heart up, baby, like a matchstick
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And hit the gas quick
Ready or not, here I come
Where you at? The night is young
In the crowd the music's loud (uh oh), but I will find you
Ready or not, here I come
I like your face, do you like my song?
Just sing it, la-la la-la la-la la-la and I'll find you
Ready or not (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ready or not (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ready or not, here I come, here I come
You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs
You and me dance from the night to the dawn
Ready or not, here I come, boy, it's on
Ready or not, here I come, here I come
You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs
You and me dance from the night to the dawn
Ready or not, here I come, boy, it's on
Ready or not, here I come
Where you at? The night is young, yeah
In the crowd the music's loud, but I will find you
Ready or not, here I come
I like your face, do you like my song?
Just sing it la-la la-la la-la la-la and I'll find you
Ready or not (ready or not)
(You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs)
Ready or not (here I come, ooh)
Ready or not (ready or not)
Ready or not (ready or not, ready or not)
Boombada boombada boombada
Ready or not
The song "Ready Or Not" by Bridgit Mendler is about a girl who is ready to break out of her shell and show the world what she's made of. The lyrics begin by describing the girl as someone who "doesn't say a word" and "sits at the curb and waits for the world." However, she's about to "break out" and become more assertive. The singer catches a guy staring at her and feels empowered to pursue him. She compares herself to a bee hunting for honey, and acknowledges that she's "kinda shy" but the guy is "super fly."
The chorus consists of the singer confidently proclaiming, "Ready or not, here I come." She's on the prowl and determined to find the guy she's interested in, even if the night is young and the music is loud. The bridge of the song sees her introducing herself to the guy and expressing her admiration for him. She compares their potential romance to a fairytale and mentions lavish luxuries like a palace and yachts. Finally, the repeated chorus serves as a declaration of her intentions and a resolution to find the guy she's interested in.
Overall, "Ready Or Not" is an upbeat and empowering song about seizing opportunities and pursuing romance. The singer is confident and determined, and the song's bright melodies match the joyful and optimistic tone of the lyrics.
