Dont Stop The Music (Dj D!amo
Rihanna Feat. Missy Elliott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music

It's getting late
I'm making my way over to
My favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
Shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate, yeah
Who knew
That you'd be up in here, looking like you do
You make and staying over here, impossible
Baby, Ima say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't

Do you know what you started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dance floor, actin' naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand chest to chest and now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

Baby are you ready 'cuz it's gettin' close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?
What goes on between us no - one has to know
This is a private show

Do you know what you started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dance floor, actin' naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand chest to chest and now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play

Overall Meaning

Rihanna's Please Don't Stop the Music is a dance-pop anthem that captures the thrill and joy of losing oneself in music. The song is an invitation to the DJ to keep playing the beat and to the dancing partner to keep on moving. In the opening lines, Rihanna expresses her desire for the music to continue even though it is getting late. She is on her way to her favorite place, where the music takes her stress away and frees her body to move. The rhythm and the ambiance that the music creates reflect the mood of the lyrics, inciting a sense of excitement and abandon.


As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to the dance floor, where Rihanna has found a possible romantic candidate. She describes the attraction between them as a spark that ignites from the music. With lyrics such as "Your hands around my waist, just let the music play, we're hand in hand chest to chest and now we're face to face", Rihanna is seducing the listener into the moment of connection that is made possible through music. She is describing an experience in which the music, the dance, and the partner become one. The chorus "Please don't stop the music" is a plea to the DJ to keep the energy flowing and to the listener to let the embrace continue.


Overall, Rihanna's Please Don't Stop the Music is a celebration of the power of music to create a space of euphoria, unity, and sensuality. It is an invitation to surrender to the beat, to connect with others through the rhythm, and to be fully present in the moment. It is a reminder that sometimes, the best way to escape the world is to let the music take over.

@Amber Coleman I literally wasn't talking about Rihanna I probably should have made it more clear for people like you who want to call someone a hoe on YouTube
I was talking more like cardi b
And and Lil yachty ect

I have my favorite female rappers like eve, lil kim,Megan the stallion and Niki Minaj ect
I am a male but
I don't have a problem with female rappers just the ones that really ain't saying nothing
And I know everything Rihanna said was clear she should do more rapping on tracks like this

If I had to guess I'd say you are a female who is taking my comment a little bit to sensitive
Raping is a hard
That includes chop rapping
Unless you want to sound like lil yachty or lil pump and all them other Mumble rappers that has nothing but a good beat.
Otherwise I guess it is easy
