Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, got my gold diamond rings
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
Pumpin up the volume, breakin down' to the beat
Cruisin' through the west side
We'll be checkin' the scene
Boulevard is freakin' as I'm comin' up fast
I'll be burnin' rubber, you'll be kissin' my ass
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says Stunner number one Superstar
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
Get this party started
Makin' my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin' and their dancin' for me
I'm your operator, you can call anytime
I'll be your connection to the party line

The opening lines of P!nk's "Get the Party Started" set the tone for the rest of the song, as it is clear that P!nk is ready to have a good time and wants everyone else to join in. The repetition of "I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started" is a command to everyone in the room to start dancing and enjoying themselves.
Throughout the verse, P!nk describes how she's ready for a night out on the town, and she's got the flashy car and jewelry to show off. She continues to emphasize her desire for a good time, stating that she's "pumpin' up the volume, breakin down' to the beat" as she cruises around town.
In the chorus, P!nk again urges everyone to "get this party started," and it's clear that she's the one taking charge of the situation. She sets up the groove, and everyone else seems to be following her lead. The song ends with an emphatic repetition of the chorus, as if to cement the idea that P!nk is the one responsible for getting the party started.
