Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could think of ways to see you
I could close my eyes to dream
I could fantasize about you
Tell the world what I believe

But whenever I'm not with you
It's so hard for me to see
I need to see a picture of you
A special picture just for me, yeah

So take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Send a dirty picture to me
Send a dirty picture
Send a dirty picture to me
Send a dirty picture

Snap.

Whenever you are gone, I just wanna be wit ya
Please don't get me wrong, I just wanna see a picture

Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Take a dirty picture for me

Please don't get me wrong, I just wanna see your picture

Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Take a dirty picture for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Taio Cruz feat. Ke$ha's "Dirty Picture" seem to be about someone's desire to see a provocative photo of the person they are singing about. The song suggests that although they could imagine ways to see them, it's not the same as actually having a picture of them. The lyrics "I need to see a picture of you, a special picture just for me" emphasize the desire for something tangible to hold onto. The repetition of "take a dirty picture for me" and "send a dirty picture to me" reinforces this desire.


The chorus is about wanting to see the person's dirty picture, but there's also a sense of longing throughout the rest of the song. The lines "I just wanna be wit ya" and "please don't get me wrong, I just wanna see a picture" suggest that the person singing is potentially separated from the other person and can't physically be with them. They are seeking out a way to connect with them and feel closer to them. Ultimately, the song is about desire, longing, and the need for connection.

The drop at 0:55 is just legendary. Hadn't listened to this song for 10 years, still remembered it.

@K_pax0703

The maximum dose of early 2010's in one song. Heavy beat in background, typical party banger melody, simple and catchy lyrics, kesha in the bathroom, taio with his sunglasses, and that retro motorola razr v3

@joeburreaux7953

I know everything about this music video and song just screams late 2010-early 2011.

@lospamuk

On point

@PalmOil7848

Вы случаем не русский?

@MatheusFariadeSa

Don’t forget the expensive car as background

@ray222ism
