After Midnight
Myah Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everytime I'm steppin' foot in the spot
Actin' naughty with stiletto pumps
'Cause I'm lookin' hot
And all the bitches, they be starin' at me
Greenin' their eyes
Must be the way I move my body
It's got them all hypnotised
Electronic, robotic
Spillin' drinks on the floor
And mister DJ spin that track again
'Cause I'm wantin' more
I think I got my costume on
So let's put on a show
But all these girls who seem to dance
Just pose to techno

What happens after midnight?
Dancin' in the club
What happens after midnight?
DJ show me love
What happens after midnight?
Think you know what's up
What happens after midnight?
We don't give a-

On a mission straight to vip
Sippin' on a couple bottles
And the tab's on me.
I know the bartenders, so it's all free
I'm feeling lost and toxicated
And it's only 3!

Electronic, robotic
Spillin' drinks on the floor
And mister DJ spin that track again
'Cause I'm wantin' more
I think I got my costume on
So let's put on a show
But all these girls who seem to dance
Just pose to techno

What happens after midnight?
Dancin' in the club
What happens after midnight?
DJ show me love
What happens after midnight?
Think you know what's up
What happens after midnight?
We don't give a-

No control
I want life shaken' not stirred
I know the rumors be flyin'
But don't believe that you've heard
My glass is empty, fill it up another cup
No wastin' time here, baby I live it up

What happens after midnight?
Dancin' in the club
What happens after midnight?
DJ show me love
What happens after midnight?
Dancin' in the club
What happens after midnight?
DJ show me love

What happens after midnight?
Dancin' in the club
What happens after midnight?
DJ show me love
What happens after midnight?
Think you know what's up




What happens after midnight?
We don't give a-

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Myah Marie's song "After Midnight" describe the experience of going out dancing, drinking, and partying in a club late at night. The singer of the song is confident in her appearance, wearing stiletto pumps and drawing attention from other women who envy her. The beat of the music is described as "electronic" and "robotic," and the lyrics mention spilling drinks on the floor and wanting the DJ to play more music. The singer is clear about her intentions: to have a good time and not care about what anyone else thinks.


As the night goes on, the singer seems to become more intoxicated, buying drinks for herself and others and feeling "lost." The lyrics describe the feeling of being in control of one's own life and experiencing excitement and pleasure. The repeated refrain of "What happens after midnight?" suggests that there may be more to discover and enjoy as the night goes on.


The song has a strong party atmosphere and encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy themselves. However, some listeners may also notice a hint of loneliness or a sense of searching for something more. Despite the fun and excitement of the moment, there is a suggestion that the experiences of the night may not necessarily bring true fulfillment or meaning.


Line by Line Meaning

Everytime I'm steppin' foot in the spot
Whenever I enter the club


Actin' naughty with stiletto pumps
I act wild and sexy, wearing high heels


'Cause I'm lookin' hot
Because I am attractive


And all the bitches, they be starin' at me
Other women are jealous and look at me with envy


Greenin' their eyes
They are envious


Must be the way I move my body
My dance moves are captivating


It's got them all hypnotised
They are mesmerized by me


Electronic, robotic
The music is electronic and repetitive


Spillin' drinks on the floor
People are sloppily drinking and spilling their drinks


And mister DJ spin that track again
The DJ should play the same song again


'Cause I'm wantin' more
Because I want to keep hearing and dancing to the music


I think I got my costume on
I feel like I am wearing a costume or persona


So let's put on a show
Let's dance and entertain


But all these girls who seem to dance
The other girls seem to only pose and not actually dance


Just pose to techno
They are only posing to the repetitive techno music


What happens after midnight?
What goes on after midnight?


Dancin' in the club
Continuing to dance at the club


DJ show me love
The DJ should play music I like


Think you know what's up
Do you actually know what's happening?


We don't give a-
We don't care


On a mission straight to vip
Going straight to the VIP section


Sippin' on a couple bottles
Drinking from a few bottles


And the tab's on me
I am paying for everyone's drinks


I'm feeling lost and toxicated
I am feeling drunk and disoriented


And it's only 3!
It's still early in the morning


No control
I am letting go and not in control


I want life shaken' not stirred
I want to live life to the fullest


I know the rumors be flyin'
I know people are talking about me


But don't believe that you've heard
Don't trust what you hear


My glass is empty, fill it up another cup
I need more alcohol


No wastin' time here, baby I live it up
I am not wasting any time, I am enjoying myself
