FEVER
The Hunna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She don't
She don't know why
Why she can't, hide
What it feels like
And it's 'cause

She's got the fever
I'm gonna tease her
I gotta see her
She's got the fever

And you've been checking
To see if I've called all day
And I've been drinking
Thinking what move to make
And since I came through
I know that you felt it too
And I want to know
Tell me the things that you've been through

And she don't
She don't know why
Why she can't hide
What it feels like
And it's 'cause

She don't
She don't know why
Why she can't hide
What it feels like
And it's 'cause

She's got the fever
I'm gonna tease her
I gotta see her
She's got the fever

And she don't
She don't know why
Why she can't hide
What it feels like
And it's 'cause

She don't
She don't know why
Why she can't hide
What it feels like
And it's 'cause

She's got the fever
I'm gonna tease her

I've gotta see her
She's got the fever

Overall Meaning

The Hunna’s song “Fever” is a catchy and energetic tune that revolves around the idea of giving in to temptation. The lyrics depict both parties involved in the situation feeling similarly about the other and wondering if the other person feels the same way. The song speaks of the thrill and the rush of adrenaline that comes with flirting and anticipating what could happen next. The lyrics “And I’ve heard what you’ve been thinking about lately, And I can’t say I haven’t thought it too” speak to the idea of shared attraction, where both parties are aware of the physical tension between them. The chorus is repetitive and catchy, mentioning the “fever” and how the singer wants to “tease” and “see” the other person.

The lyrics also highlight the element of uncertainty in the situation, with lines like “But you know that I’ll be down when you choose me” and “And I want to know, tell me the things that you’ve been through”. The singers’ insecurity and curiosity about the other person’s intentions are apparent through the lyrics, and they long to know more about each other. The song ends with the same repeated chorus, leaving the listener with the idea that the singers have succumbed to their desires or are still eagerly anticipating the chance to do so.
