Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Party people getting ready now
Somewhere baby
I know you're waiting
The city's vibrating
The city's in a heatwave
Praying for a sunshade
Will chill down the streets
And I'm a little hot too 'cause
I can only think of you
You'll find out what i like
[Chorus]
Sundown, Friday, twilight in the big town
Party people getting ready now
Somewhere baby
I know you're waiting
The city's vibrating
Sundown, the air gets cooler
But my heart pounds
Loud and fast I'm getting ready now
Somewhere baby
I know you're waiting
The city's vibrating
I don't know if you've seen me
don't know if you are dreaming
Hoping for someone
Who can show you who you are
Tonight I'm gonna find you (find you)
Fly in on a breeze and blind you (blind you)
Take you from this clubland
And send us into the stars
[Chorus]
Bring back the f-funk, uh, yeah
Time no need to rush
We can make it right
'Cause we are meant to be, you and i
It's in the air we breathe
All around, all around
Say your longing too
'Cause i will look for you
At sundown
Sundown, Friday
Twilight in the big town (Friday)
Party people getting ready now
(Getting ready now)
Somewhere baby
I know you're waiting
The city's vibrating (sundown)
Sundown, air gets cooler
But my heart pounds (you know, you know)
Loud and fast
I'm getting ready now
(I'm getting ready now)
Somewhere baby (baby)
I know you're waiting
The city's vibrating (the city's vibrating)
The first verse of this song paints a picture of a city in the midst of a heatwave. It's Friday evening, the city's vibrant and alive, and party people are getting ready to go out. The singer is hot and bothered, but not just because of the weather โ they're thinking of someone special who they can't wait to be with. The chorus repeats the theme of evenings in the city, and how the singer's heart is pounding as they anticipate meeting their lover. They don't know if their lover even knows who they are, but they are determined to find them and sweep them off their feet.
The second verse is a bit more optimistic, with the singer feeling a sense of connection with their lover, even though they've never even met them. The lyrics suggest that there's something special in the air that makes them feel like they're meant to be together. They're going to find each other at sundown and embark on a journey beyond the clubland and into the stars. The chorus repeats the same imagery of Fridays in the city, and the bridge inserts some funk into the mix, encouraging the lovers to take their time to make things right. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer confident that they will find their lover and spend their night together.

For to be so young their songs were so catchy...you couldn't help but sing along to them. Loved this band and I'm not ashamed to admit it
@Panda299
I don't remember ever listening to this song but its absolutely beautiful. Their voices are soothing and perfect for this type of song/genre :)
@sarahmighell5067
Bro, how this song still slaps, I'll never know.
@mattiethorrowgood2893
I can't actually say how much I love this song - Childhood favourite!
@marchussey9327
Kinda had a Steps You'll Be Sorry vibe to it. Think if I'm right Steps released You'll Be Sorry in and around the same time or just before this.
