The D4 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got trouble, I got trouble, I got trouble
I got you
I'm getting nothing, I'm getting nothing, I'm getting nothing
But trouble from you
And I got trouble

I got something, I got something, I got something
I gotta do

It ain't loving, it ain't loving, it ain't loving
Baby it ain't you
And I got trouble
I got you ohhhh!

[Chorus]
Feel It like It's all I wanna do
Feel It like It's all I wanna do
Feel It like It's all I wanna do
Feel It like It's all I wanna do
Let's go!

I got nowhere, I got nowhere, I got nowhere
I gotta go
I've been waiting, I've been waiting, I'm sick of waiting
And I'm ready to blow
I got trouble
I got you ohhhh!

[Chorus]

You say that I will treat you right
Tell I'm always going out at night
But if there's one thing I'll never do
I wanna feel it gonna like it gonna
I gotta feel you!
Yeah! Yeah!

Feels like, feels just like I like it [x3]
Yeah! Feels-feels feels just like I like it, yeah!

Feel It like It's all I wanna do [x4]

I got trouble, I got trouble, I got trouble

I got you!
I got you!

Overall Meaning

The D4's song "Feel It Like It" portrays a passionate desire for sensory experience with the lyrics "Feel It like It's all I wanna do" being repeated multiple times throughout the song. The song opens with the singer expressing trouble which is possibly in relation to his relationship as the chorus mentions frustration with waiting and wanting to feel something. The song then progresses to the singer saying that he has to do something and it's not about love, meaning that he has other priorities as well. The chorus then repeats the powerful desire to feel something with the emphasis on the word "It."

The lines "You say that I will treat you right, Tell I'm always going out at night, But if there's one thing I'll never do, I wanna feel it gonna like it gonna, I gotta feel you" can be interpreted as the singer of the song trying to convince his partner that he will always treat her right, but the one thing that he won't be able to contain is his desire to feel something powerful and sensory with her. The lines create an image of a relationship where the singer is loyal but yearns for something more, something that will make him feel alive.

The overall upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make "Feel It Like It" a perfect song to dance to while simultaneously reflecting on the complex nature of human desires.
