Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Action" by Terror Fabulous is a dancehall love song. The song refers to the desire for good lovemaking and affection. The song addresses the desire of women to have a good man who can give them tender, sweet love every night. The performer calls out to a specific woman named Nadine, asking her to step up and join him in the song.


The lyrics use Jamaican dialect to describe the eroticism and sensuality of lovemaking. The singer contends that real romance is not found in conversation, but in actions that elicit real pleasure. The chorus repeats the words "Action" and "Sweet loving makes de gal dem bruk out," celebrating the notion that good love actions are not just about talking but putting in effort to make the woman feel loved.


The song has a sexually charged tone, infused with the rhythm of dancehall music. It celebrates the idea that lovemaking is an art in itself, and men who can bring pleasure to a woman are seen as the ultimate conquerors. The song is often played at parties and dancehall sessions where people come together to dance and enjoy the music.
