Chorus:
Blackout waiting for your rescue
Last night have you in the best move
You say had a conversation
All I remember is

My friends taking my cell phone
And you're the... Miley cyrus

I don't know what they said to her
She's rich she'll go over it
Hello strange lady ooh
I'm not sure if we... Ooh
You look far in... Light ooh
Please don't ask me your name
All I remember is

2 x chorus:
Blackout waiting for your rescue
Last night have you in the best move
You say had a conversation
All I remember is

You said you were an actress
But I didn't believe you
I guess you need a practice 'cause I didn't believe you
Hello strange lady
I don't know if we babe
You look far in... Light ooh
Please don't ask me your name
All I remember is

[2 x chorus:]

Red cups, red cups
All I remember is

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Mike Posner's song Blackout Remix is all about losing control due to excessive drinking and not remembering anything from the previous night except for a few random moments. The first two lines of the chorus, "Blackout waiting for your rescue, Last night have you in the best move," suggest that the singer was so drunk that he needs someone to save him and he had a good time despite not remembering it. The next line indicates that he had a conversation with someone, but he can't recall what was said. Instead, the only thing he remembers is that his friends took his cellphone and did something involving Miley Cyrus, but he doesn't know what was done.

Line by Line Meaning

Blackout waiting for your rescue
I was too intoxicated to function and was hoping for someone to save me

Last night have you in the best move
I had a great time with you last night

You say had a conversation
You mentioned that we talked

All I remember is
I can't recall anything else that happened

My friends taking my cell phone
My friends took away my phone so I wouldn't embarrass myself

And you're the... Miley cyrus
You were acting crazy like Miley Cyrus

I don't know what they said to her
I'm not sure what my friends told her

She's rich she'll go over it
She's wealthy, so it doesn't matter to her

Hello strange lady ooh
I met someone I didn't know

I'm not sure if we... Ooh
I can't remember if we hooked up

You look far in... Light ooh
You looked beautiful in the lighting
