Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like this right here, yeah
Bad Boy, and we won't stop
Faith, '99

We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do
All night long

Happy days are here
So leave your cares behind
Just relax your mind
It's so easy to do it

Just enjoy yourself
If the feeling's right
Get your groove on tonight
Take your time tonight
Everything's all right
Ain't nothing but a party

We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do
All night long

Get up on the floor
Don't worry 'bout a thing
The rhythm's got you now
So come on, get into it

Just enjoy yourself
If the feeling's right
Get your groove on tonight
Take your time tonight
Everything's all right
Ain't nothing but a party

We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do
All night long

Have a good time
Lay back, relax
Just free your mind
Let the music take control of you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If it's a hot then I must've did it
If it's not then I wasn't with it
Bad Boy stay committed
Whether hip-hop or R&B
Featuring Faith Evans, co-starring me, P. Diddy
You know I got the key to your city
Unlock the door, rock some more
Beats we lace
Bad Boy heat the place
We run R&B too cuz we keep the faith
Givin the streets a taste
Blaze the charts

I remember

In case you forgot
First Lady Be making it hot
Ain't nobody taking the spot
Now it's Faith instead of pain
Coming through with a better grain
In the dash, cell phone better range
Get the cash, and stock paper for the whole four quarters
Damn, some things never change
Can ya feel me? Ya feel me? Let's make 'em dance
Let's go

We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do
All night long

Have a good time
Lay back, relax
Just free your mind
Let the music take control of you

We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do
All night long

We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood




Do what you wanna do
All night long

The chorus repeatedly emphasizes this message, telling listeners that they can "dance, dance, dance" and "clap your hands, hands, hands" all night. The verses expand on this theme, urging listeners to forget their cares and let the rhythm take control. The verses also emphasize the collaboration between Puff Daddy and Faith Evans, with each artist taking turns delivering energetic verses that complement the song's infectious beat.


Beyond its catchy melody and upbeat lyrics, "All Night Long" is also notable for the way it blends different genres of music. Puff Daddy is known for his crossover style that fuses hip-hop and R&B, and this song is no exception.

The thought of Diddy telling me how he is going to watch every step I take has lost a bit of its innocent charm, don't ya think? 😮

ARMYs please do not embarrass BTS by saying they did it better or "who's here for BTS". This song is extremely meaningful and touching as it was a tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. On top of that this song is very important to many because it deals with the feelings of losing a loved one. By respecting the original song and artists, we are showing everyone that we are a respectful fandom and BTS would be proud. I promise you. Stay safe. Love you x
