Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're on my mind
You do something to me baby
In ways I can't define
Whatever you're doing
You're doing it well
What is your secret
'Cause my head is spinning
Spinning around
You let me know boy
I won't let you down
You put a spell on me
I don't know what to do
It's an ability
That drives me closer to you
Your magic
Has got me where I want to be
Your magic
Is happening in front of me
There's a power within you baby
It's controlling me
I know there's no way to fight it
I'll let it be
Whatever you're doing
You're doing it well
What is your secret
Won't you please tell
'Cause my head is spinning
Spinning around
You let me know boy
I won't let you down
You put a spell on me
I don't know what to do
It's an ability
That drives me closer to you
Your magic
Has got me where I want to be
Your magic
Is happening in front of me
You put a spell on me
I don't know what to do
It's an ability
That drives me closer to you
Your magic
Has got me where I want to be
Your magic
Is happening in front of me
Can you feel the power lurking baby girl
I think the spell is working, o-ooh
Can you feel the power lurking baby girl
I think the spell is working ooh
You put a spell on me
I don't know what to do
It's an ability
That drives me closer to you
You put a spell on me
I don't know what to do
It's an ability
That drives me closer to you
Your magic
Has got me where I want to be
Your magic
Is happening in front of me
You put a spell on me
I don't know what to do
It's an ability
That drives me closer to you
Your magic
Has got me where I want to be
Your magic
Is happening in front of me
In The Alphabeat's song The Spell, the singer is expressing her intense feelings for someone she can't get off her mind. The person in question has a certain allure that the singer finds irresistible and she can't quite put her finger on what makes them so captivating. The lyrics describe the way this person's "magic" has entranced the singer and made it impossible for her to resist their spell. She acknowledges that she is entirely under their control, and although she might not know what to do in this situation, she feels closer to this person than ever before. The chorus repeats this idea of being under the spell, with the singer unable to resist the power of this person's magic.
The verses center around the idea that whatever this person is doing, they are doing it well, and the singer is at their mercy. She feels a spinning sensation, but reassures the person that they won't let them down, no matter how powerful their spell might be. The verses and the chorus work together to create an image of a person who has completely lost themselves in another person's spell, but is happy to be there. Whether it's because of their charisma, looks or other qualities - this person has a magical quality that has the singer completely under their control.
