Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on the dance floor burning up
Music turn it up
Baby I'm
Real hot so is it my turn to touch you
Baby you
Look like you're buzzin' on ex with 3D effects
Baby you
Me and my dogs will be there
Tell your girls prepare to share
We'll play the dancing truth or dare
If someone's standing there, stare say
Hey baby what's your name
Don't stand looking insane
Do you want to ride the train
Welcome to the fast lane
If you're in love beware
'Cause these people they don't care
All hands in the air
This is what we call truth or dare
I am the one with the brightest hair, leather I don't care
Baby I
Don't ever want to take the shirt off
That's my dare
You got a girl but you touching me like you don't care,
Baby you
Do you
But just don't get caught out there
Me and my girls will be there
Tell your boys prepare to share
We'll play the dancing truth or dare
If someone's standing there, stare say
Hey baby what's your name
Don't stand looking insane
Do you want to ride the train
Welcome to the fast lane
If you're in love beware
'Cause these people they don't care
All hands in the air
This is what we call truth or dare
Come on come on
Baby shake it up
Man, I got ten surrounding me
Hounding me
Center of attention
A riot it's bound to be
Though I'm in the middle
My jewels you're bound to see
In a pool of women
All of them drowning me
I'm ho hoppin', flip floppin', ho hoppin'
Now her head in my lap boppin'
I ain't one to care
I ain't used to fair
Baby you can keep the truth
Choose the dare
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Me and my dogs will be there tell your girls prepare to share
Me and my girls will be there tell your boys prepare to share
We'll play the dancing truth or dare
If someone's standing there, stare say
Hey baby what's your name
Don't stand looking insane
Do you want to ride the train, welcome to the fast lane
If you're in love beware
'Cause these people they don't care
All hands in the air
This is what we call truth or dare
Come on come on
Baby shake it up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the song Truth Or Dare by N*E*R*D feat. Kelis and Pusha, the lyrics portray a fast-paced, high-energy party atmosphere focused on dancing and hookups. The singer describes themselves as being "real hot" and encourages others to join in on the fun, inviting them to play "dancing truth or dare." The chorus urges people to let loose and enjoy themselves, but also warns that love can be dangerous in such a carefree environment.
The verses swap between the perspectives of multiple characters, including the singer who has "brightest hair" and doesn't want to take their shirt off, a girl being touched by someone who has a girlfriend, and a guy who is surrounded by women and reveling in the attention. The lyrics allude to drug use with the line "you look like you're buzzin' on ex with 3D effects," suggesting that the partygoers are under the influence of ecstasy. The song ends with the refrain urging everyone to shake it up and get lost in the moment.
Overall, Truth Or Dare captures the feeling of letting loose at a party and indulging in the moment, but also hints at the darker consequences of such recklessness. The fast-paced beat and catchy lyrics make it a perfect party anthem, while also conveying a message about the importance of being aware of one's actions and their impact on others.

I have attracted numerous women and am the focus of attention. It is likely to escalate into a wild and chaotic situation. I am surrounded by admirers, including ones admiring my jewelry. They are all vying for my attention
I'm ho hoppin', flip floppin', ho hoppin'
Now her head in my lap boppin'
I ain't one to care
I ain't used to fair
Baby you can keep the truth
Choose the dare
I am promiscuous and changing sexual partners often, leading to a girl putting her head on my lap. I don't worry about the moral implications of my actions, and I am not used to being fair in sexual contests. You can choose to share a fact or take a dare
