Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hangin' out at that backyard party
I was doing my thang
Guys be lookin' like "ooo now darlin', you're as hot as a flame"
Now I'm not easy to catch
My wild heart ain't so easy to tame
So anybody who gon' be with me better be bringin' that bang
Mmm… boda boom boda bang
I light it up big bold and loud just like the 4th of July

I'll getcha so sweaty like Kentucky on a hot summer night
I'm a heartbreakin' baby cause I'm so hard to catch
I'm a firecracker baby, could you be the match
Let's light it up
(Oh oh oh oh, light it up)
Let's light it up

You could say I'm a real showstopper, stop you dead in your tracks
Like a spicy and red siracha
Burn ya baby like that
Yea, I got a short fuse
