Overall Meaning

The song “Pon de Replay” is an upbeat club track by Barbadian singer Rihanna which also features Jamaican dancehall artist Elephant Man. The song’s lyrics revolve around having a good time in a club, encouraging the DJ to turn up the music and spur the crowd to dance. The opening lines of the song capture the mood of the club, noting that it’s getting warmer and that the partygoers are winding up on the dance floor with flamboyant clothes from Dolce & Gabbana.


The “one by one, even two by two” phrase in the chorus is a dancehall expression to tell the crowd to move side to side, slowly swaying their hips before picking up the tempo for the faster part. Rihanna and Elephant Man notice that everyone is having a good time and encourage them to keep going, promising an exciting night of dancing till sunrise. The song’s repetition of “Pon de replay” essentially means “play it over again,” urging the DJ to keep the music going.
