That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling, woo-hoo
That tonight's gonna be a good night

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it, like, oh my God
Jump off that sofa, let's get, get off
I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out and losing all control
Fill up my cup, mazel tov
Look at her dancing, just take it off
Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it, and do it, let's live it up
And do it, and do it, and do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
'Cause I got a feeling, woo-hoo
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling, woo-hoo

Just take it off
Let's paint the town (paint the town)
We'll shut it down (shut it down)

The Black Eyed Peas' hit song 'I Gotta Feeling' is a catchy tune that includes both a spoken word section and a chorus. The spoken word section includes suggestions for the evening; spending money, getting off the sofa, and losing control. The chorus repeats multiple times the lyrics "I got a feeling, woo-hoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night." It seems as though the song is all about enjoying oneself and embracing the possibility of a good night ahead.
The lyrics hold an overarching theme of letting go and having fun with friends. The lead singer, will.i.am, sings about filling up his cup and getting spaced out, a possible clue to the type of party the Black Eyed Peas hope to have. The lyrics about potentially stressful situations that one might be dealing with hold the optimistic hope and envision a night filled with abandon.
The lyrics "jump off that sofa, let's get, get off" followed by a chorus that repeats the notion of a good feeling, give rise to the idea of an unbridled spirit and the potential for wild excess, albeit always with the refrain of safety and feeling okay while jumping off that sofa.

I'm 19. I remember when they played this back in elementary. The late 2000 and early 2010 era is the goat.
@LilXancheX
@@RyanTheDarkI was in 6th grade, and went with my middle school homies to this church dance 😂
And they had this shit playing. Back when I was in love with my friends sister, I tried asking her out but she rejected me, she’s now married to some fat guy. And back when we had a friend group. Always going to the mall on weekends lol. Time flies
