"Pressure Drop" by Robert Palmer is a song about the inevitability of negative consequences catching up to those who have been acting recklessly or selfishly. The repeated phrase "Pressure's gonna drop on you" is meant to convey the idea that one cannot escape the repercussions of their actions forever.
The song uses a simple, upbeat melody and rhythm to contrast with the ominous lyrics. The repetition of the refrain emphasizes the idea that the pressure is building and cannot be ignored. The lines "when it drops, you're gonna feel it, how it's been doin' you wrong" suggest that the consequences of one's actions will be painful and difficult to ignore.
