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
The song "Truth Or Dare" by N.E.R.D. talks about a chaotic dance floor where people are under the influence, and anything can happen. The song describes the scene as hot, with bright hair, leather, and a lot of touching going on. The chorus introduces the idea of playing truth or dare, making it clear that this is not a game for the faint-hearted or those in love.
The song highlights the wild behavior that ensues when people want to have fun and let loose. The first verse paints a picture of a dance floor where people are so high on drugs that they look like they have no idea what comes next, and guys are bringing more than one girl to share with their male friends. The lyrics suggest that everyone is in the fast lane, and if you're not ready to play the game or not comfortable with the rules, then you should beware. The second verse switches perspective, with Pharrell describing the way he's being chased by ten women, all competing for his attention, and he doesn't seem to mind.
Overall, "Truth Or Dare" is a song about embracing chaos and living in the moment, without worrying about tomorrow's consequences. The song encourages the audience to take risks and have fun because in the end, it's all worth it.

I'm the center of everyone's attention and it's going to be wild
Though I'm in the middle my jewels you're bound to see
Even though I'm in the middle of everything, you can still see my jewelry
In a pool of women all of them drowning me
I'm surrounded by so many women that it's overwhelming
I'm ho hoppin', flip floppin', ho hoppin'
I'm having fun and bouncing around, going from one person to the next
Now her head in my lap boppin'
Now one of the women is giving me a lap dance
I ain't one to care, I ain't used to fair
I don't care about fairness, I'm used to getting my way
Baby you can keep the truth, choose the dare
If you don't want to tell the truth, choose a dare instead
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Repeating the catchy chorus line to end the song
