Just Got Paid
N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just-just-just-just-just got paid
Yea, Oh
Just got paid Friday night
Just got paid, Friday night
Party's hoppin', place is right
Pump that jam, while I'm getting down
Check the mirror, I'm lookin' fly
Round up the posse, jump in my ride
Radio rockin', smooth jams
Feel the rhythm, pump up the sound
I'm feelin' good don't you know I'm grooving
To the beat
I'm groovin', yea, grooving, oh oh oh oh
Just got paid, Friday night
Party's hoppin', place is right
Booties shaking, all around
Pump that jam, while I'm getting down
Some say my solo is impossible
But when I get up on the mic, I'm unstoppable
And it's probably when you hear our voices laid down
You'll be bopping your head to this ill tight sound
Now I know you probably thought ya had me
Played (played)
But the check is in my hand and I got it made(made)
And you'll notice my smile is like cool-aid
Cause I just(just) got(got) paid(paid)
On the floor bumping to the beat
All ways sure looks sweet
Fine young lady, standin' by
Come on baby, sweet like delight
The lyrics to N Sync’s song “Just Got Paid” describe the feeling of excitement and joy that comes with receiving a paycheck and being able to enjoy a night out with friends. The chorus asserts this feeling with repetition, “Thank God that it's Friday night and I just got paid,” emphasizing that the weekend is the perfect time to celebrate earning a living. The lyrics continue to describe the energy of the party, with the bass “pumping”, people “shaking” their booties, and the overall atmosphere being “right”. The song continues with the singer highlighting their own style and confidence, “Check the mirror, I'm lookin' fly/ Round up the posse, jump in my ride”, suggesting that they are the life of the party. The second verse reinforces this sentiment with the lyrics, “Some say my solo is impossible/But when I get up on the mic, I'm unstoppable”, portraying the singer as talented and unstoppable. The bridge and the final repetition of the chorus both assert the confidence that receiving a paycheck brings, singing “You'll notice my smile is like cool-aid/ Cause I just got paid” and “Thank God that it's Friday night and I just got paid,” reminding the listener of the joy of receiving a paycheck.
This song is a reflection of the cultural significance of Friday paydays and the importance of celebrating being able to earn and enjoy one's earnings. The song’s party anthem style and catchy lyrics have made it a popular choice for DJs and the song has been covered by several musical acts.
