Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you cant see me
Close your mouth
Don't speak
Just feel me
Closer we become
Together we will fall
This night
This night
We give ourselves one night
The mood is set
The food is eatin'
The time is right
For love
It's beating
A little bit of talk
A little bit of pleasure
A little bit of makin out
And than we work it out
A little somokey-smoke
Tell me a dirty joke
Up on your roof
On your roof
And we don't need nobody
To have a little party
Its just two
Just us two
And we don't need nobody
Cuz we go ladi dadi
Just us two
Me and you
Me and you
Feel the kiss
And smile so softly
We're just friends
But I like you slightly
We wont cross the line
We'll go on proper
Takes some time
Just a boy and a girl
Just us two
In a world
The mood is set
The food is eatin'
The time is right
For love
It's beating
A little bit of talk
A little bit of pleasure
A little bit of makin out
And than we work it out
A little somokey-smoke
Tell me a dirty joke
Up on your roof
Up on your roof
And we don't need nobody
To have a little party
Its just two
Just us two
And we don't need nobody
Cuz we go ladi dadi
Just us two
Me and you
Me and you
Take a walk with me
And we'll go dancing in the rain
And baby we'll run under a tree
Ill look at you
You'll look at me
A little bit of talk
A little bit of pleasure
A little bit of makin out
And than we work it out
A little somokey-smoke
Tell me a dirty joke
Up on your roof
Up on your roof
And we don't need nobody
To have a little party
Its just two
Just us two
And we don't need nobody
Cuz we go ladi dadi
Just us two
Me and you
Me and you
The lyrics of Steve Aoki & Wynter Gordon’s song “Ladi Dadi” explores the intimate moments between two people that have strong chemistry but are simply friends. The song begins with the suggestion to dim the lights and refrain from speaking. This instructs the listener to focus on feeling the chemistry between two people as they become closer and fall into each other. Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the idea that they are just two friends – a girl and a boy – exploring their affection for each other but not going too far. While they like each other, they refuse to cross the line and prefer to take their time to get to know each other better.
The melody of the song follows a pattern that elevates the lyrics topically, starting with a suggestion to get closer and be quiet and eventually building up to a moment on a rooftop where they have their own party without anybody else. The chorus repeats the theme of being alone together physically and emotionally through the repeated phrase ‘just us two, me and you’. The lyrics convey a sense of intimacy and sensuality through the descriptions of ‘kisses’ and ‘making out’ but never quite reveal exactly how far they are willing to go.
Overall, the song Ladi Dadi’s lyrics are about the early stages of a relationship between two friends, where they explore each other’s chemistry and attraction, slowly taking their time to know more about each other.

Where things can get complicated, we'll keep it simple
Take a walk with me
Let's take a romantic walk together
And we'll go dancing in the rain
Let's have fun and be carefree
And baby we'll run under a tree
We'll enjoy each other's company and have fun together
Ill look at you
I'll admire you and appreciate you
You'll look at me
You'll appreciate me and admire me too
