Don't Stop the Music
The Treblemakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music (music, music, music)
Please don't stop the music (music, music, music)
Please don't stop the music (music, music, music)
Please don't stop the music (music, music, music)
It's getting late
I gotta get my body moving, shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate, yeah
Who knew, that you'd be up in here lookin' like you do
You're making staying over here impossible
Baby I must say, your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go (don't)
Do you know what you've started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rocking on the dance floor, acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest and now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show, oh
Do you know what you've started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin' on the dance floor, acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest and now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
The Treblemakers’s “Don't Stop The Music” is an ode to the irresistible power of music and how it can bring people together. The song starts by urging the DJ to keep the music going, as the singer is at their favorite place and needs to shake their stress away. However, when a potential love interest catches their eye, they find themselves unable to leave the dance floor. The lyrics are quite straightforward, but what makes the song work so well is the catchy hook that repeats: “Please don’t stop the music.” This hook emphasizes the impact of the rhythm, melody, and lyrics of music and reflects how important it can be in people's lives.
Throughout the song, the singer and their newfound partner move to the rhythm, and the music takes over. They “escape” into the music, and for a moment, nothing else matters. The lyrics hint at a degree of sensuality with the line “What goes on between us no one has to know,” but the overall message remains that music can bring people together.
In summary, “Don't Stop The Music” is a song about the power of music to connect people and remove stress from their lives. The song encourages listeners to let loose, come together on the dance floor, and enjoy the moment.
