Not gonna answer my phone
'Cause I don't
No, I won't see you
I'm out to have a good time
To get you off of my mind
'Cause I don't
And I won't need you
Send out a 9-1-1
We're gonna have some fun
Hey boy, you know, you better run
'Cause it's a girl's night
It's alright without you
I'm gonna stay out
And play out without you
You better hold tight
This girl's night's without you
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go
It's a girl's night
I'll dance with somebody new
Won't have to think about you
And who knows
What let go will lead to
You'll hear from everyone
You'll get the 4-1-1
Hey boy, you knew this day would come
'Cause it's a girl's night
It's alright without you
I'm gonna stay out
And play out without you
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go
Hey boy
Don't you wish you could've been a good boy?
Try to find another girl like me, boy
Feel me when I tell ya I am fine
And it's time for me to draw the line
I said hey boy
Don't you wish you could've been a good boy?
Try to find another girl like me, boy
Feel me when I tell ya I am fine
And it's time for me to draw the line
(Draw the line, draw the line, draw the line)
'Cause it's a girl's night
It's alright without you
I'm gonna stay out
And play out without you
You better hold tight
This girl's night's without you
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go, G-N-O
Let's go
It's a girl's night
The lyrics of "G.N.O." by Miley Cyrus revolve around the singer's decision to have a girls' night out (G.N.O.) after breaking up with her boyfriend. She wants to have a good time and forget about her former partner. She refuses to answer her phone and tells her ex-boyfriend not to call her, leaving her alone because she does not want to see him. She plans to have fun and dance with someone new, without thinking about her past relationship. The chorus of the song is an anthem to girl power, indicating that she does not need a man to have a good time.
However, the song also highlights the singer's vulnerability as she still wants her ex-boyfriend to notice her absence and hear about her having fun without him. The song can be interpreted as an attempt to show confidence and independence while also seeking the attention and validation of her former partner.
Overall, "G.N.O." is a catchy and upbeat song that celebrates friendship and girl power while also portraying the emotional complexities of a recent breakup.

Hey boy, you know
You are aware, young man
You better run

It is okay even if you are not here
I'm gonna stay out
I will not return home
And play out without you
And party without your presence
You better hold tight
Be cautious and remain safe

I'll dance with somebody new
I will dance with someone else
Won't have to think about you

You knew this day would come
You should have expected this outcome

Hey boy
Hello, young man
Don't you wish you could have been a good boy
Do you ever regret not acting appropriately
Try to find another girl like me, boy
Attempt to discover someone similar to me
Feel me when I tell ya
Believe what I am stating
I am fine
I am doing well
And it's time for me to draw the line
It is time for me to be firm in my decision

This song brings back so many childhood memories... Me and my best friend at the time were driving to a HM concert without knowing it. This song came on and I started singing along like I knew it... My mom, best friend, and my BF's mom were all cracking up... Good times... Good times:)

This song brings back so many memories. Even for me as a guy, my nieces introduced me to Hannah and I introduced myself further to the music and what it meant...loving life and being yourself.
