Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you looking at? Do I got something in my eye?
Do I got shit up on my face or did my hair catch on fire?
'Cause you really really staring am I something that you like?
Jeez ask for my number, or you can fly a kite
See I'm bout to get with it, I'm getting ratchet and livid
You think I'm cool and forget it, you feeling froggy then ribbit
Be like banana and split it, before your melon I'll split it
I bet you know what you see, it's all my girls, she deserve a

(Beat down)

Stop, wait
Think about it

Work, work, run up, if you want some
Hear the drums how they beat, that's how you done
Wait, I should think about it, never mind that's a waste
When this bitch hit the ground, how these Louboutins taste?
I'm sorry, club promoter,
Let's put this in the past
It's just that bitch kept on staring, so I had to whoop that ass

(Beat down)
(Beat down)
(Beat down)
(Beat down)
(Beat down)
(Beat down)

It's a party on your face, I'm about to dance on it
Bout to dance on it, bout to dance on it
It's a party on your face, I'm about to dance on it
Bout to dance on it, bout to dance on it
You win some, you lose some
But her it's her day
You win some, you lose some
But her it's her day
(Beat down)

It's a party on your face, an I'm about to dance on it
Bout to dance on it, bout to dance on it
It's a party on your face, an I'm about to dance on it
Bout to dance on it, bout to dance on it
Stop, wait,
Think about it

(Beat down)
(Beat down)

(Beat down)

Check it out ladies don't take no lip
Take no lip, take take no lip
If you rap for you girls, then pump your fist
Pump your fist, pump pump your fist
Now swing it at the hoe that you think looking funny
If she came with a man then take all his money
It's the year of the woman, gonn grab a can of these whoopin's
And then as soon she looking, Aoki she gon get it

(Beat down)
Aoki she gon get it
(Beat down)




Aoki she gon get it
(Beat down)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steve Aoki & Angger Dimas feat. Iggy Azalea's song "Beat Down" suggest that the artist is being stared at by someone who seems to feel superior to her, and she responds with frustration and aggression. Iggy asserts that if the person staring at her likes what they see, they should just ask for her phone number rather than just gazing at her. However, since she is about to get angry and aggressive, anyone who is up for it can face the consequences. The bridge of the song sees the drums picking up the pace, and Iggy asking the listener to concede that she will beat up anyone who tries to stand in her way or stare at her.


From the lyrics, it is evident that "Beat Down" is a song about female empowerment, and Iggy pushes for women to hold their own in the crowd. The song has a blend of electronica and rap elements that complement the message of Iggy's lyrics. The chorus in particular provides a rhythmic dance beat with Iggy's rap which is tastefully mixed with the EDM elements produced by Steve and Angger. The track is meant to be an anthem for women to flaunt their power and let their haters know that they will get what is coming to them if they don't watch their backs.

I'm about to get wild and angry


You think I'm cool and forget it, you feeling froggy then ribbit
Don't think I'm cool, and if you're feeling bold then go ahead and jump

Aoki she gon get it
Aoki, the person who produces the music for this song, will be involved in the fight

I dont know why people say she is ugly and that she can't rap because she is very pretty and can rap

@joeyfvckinsane8457

if she's black maybe ppl wouldn't be hatin her so much. .. ya know

@alisonm1164

+Joey Fvckinsane trust me it's nothing to do with her race. it's because she got progressively worse as the fame got to her head. I listen to SnowDaProduct, And GEazy and they are clearly white and still produce quality

@reneehuizinga9431

+Alison M I actually did witness to a comment war with a black person versus a white person, and the black person did claim Iggy was oppressing "black culture".

@alisonm1164

+Renee Huizinga LMFAO as a black person I could never say she is culture appropriating. She's just a shitty excuse for a rapper in general, making the rest of the great white rappers look like shit. Oh and the fact she called herself a runaway slave master basically secured her a place in the "imma beat yo ass" club, no wonder TI finally got rid of her tacky ways. I wish she would have stuck with her Australian accent and spat truth instead of weak bs like azillion because compared things prior to 2013, her quality has been surpassed by her quantity.

@alisonm1164

shes pretty as fuck but she needs to revert to what brought her here originally
