Hair Down
Mollie King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta let my hair down
Gotta let my hair down
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance now
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance
Don't call, I'm not home
Somebody's got to run the show
I'm pleased to meet your barbershop quartet
But that means you obviously ain't getting any sex
You need to brush up on your harmony
The way you're crooning doesn't work for me
If you like me now, I know that you wanna get again
'Cause you get around, oh no
Like me now, how you wanna get on down
'Cause you get me, oh no no no
Like me now, how'd you like me now?
Now I'm back, now I'm back na-na-na-na
How'd you like me now?
I bet you love me now
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance now
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance
Don't call, I'm not home
Somebody's got to run the show
Caller busy tone, I'll be the one to let you know
I'm living life as if it's heaven sent
You never thought I'd have a striker sitting on the bench
A substitution in the second half
With extra time, I'm taking the last laugh
How'd you like me now? You know that I'm gonna win again
Can't be broken down, oh no
Like me now, ready for another round
Think you got me, oh no no no
Like me now, how'd you like me now?
Now I'm back, now I'm back na-na-na-na
How'd you like me now?
I bet you love me now
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance now
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance
Don't call, I'm not home
Somebody's got to run the show
Caller busy tone, I'll be the one to let you know
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance now
Gotta let my hair down, I just wanna dance
Don't call, I'm not home
Somebody's got to run the show
Caller busy tone, I'll be the one to let you know
The lyrics of Mollie King's song "Hair Down" are mainly about breaking free from expectations and letting loose. The repeated line "Gotta let my hair down" is a metaphor for breaking free from constraints and just wanting to dance and have a good time. The singer expresses a desire to let go of responsibilities and not be bothered by anyone trying to control her. The line "Don't call, I'm not home" suggests a need for space and freedom. She is not interested in romantic pursuits as suggested by the line "If you like me now, I know that you wanna get again." The singer is confident in herself and her abilities, as seen with the lines "You never thought I'd have a striker sitting on the bench, A substitution in the second half, With extra time, I'm taking the last laugh." This confidence is further emphasized with the repetition of "How'd you like me now?" asking her doubters if they are impressed with her successes.
