There's gonna be a party tonight
And do you think that your invited
I know that your excited
Gonna be a party tonight
Wouldn't you think you'd know
If you I were excited

All these consequences keep running around your head

But who knows what they'll say, when it all comes down to
Through the moonlight glow I know, heart racing fast as it can go
Our eyes meet instantly, you're on your way

Let it become (don't stop) your breathing,
Let it become (don't stop) your breathing,
Let's get this party started cause

[Chorus]
She was thinking Mr Right I was thinking Right Now.
Contemplating, over it. Over and over again.
She was thinking Mr Right I was thinking Right Now.
Contemplating, over it. Over and over again.

We started dancing getting
Crazy on the dance floor
Come and dance with me
I'll show you what your looking for
Gonna slow down, gonna go down
Gonna make it all night
If you're with me, I'll quickly
Make everything alright.

Let it become (don't stop) your breathing,
Let it become (don't stop) your breathing

[Chorus]

Ever since I laid my eyes on you,
There's been so much I've wanted to do,
Bring your body closer to mine
There's gonna be a party
Gonna be a party tonight
Let's get this party started right

Dadadada, gonna rock the floor, gonna dance to the tempo
Dadadada, gonna rock the floor gonna dance

[Chorus]

She was thinking Mr Right I was thinking Right Now.

Overall Meaning

The song "Mr. Right" by The White Tie Affair depicts the story of a guy who meets a girl at a party, and while she is thinking about finding Mr. Right, he is thinking about enjoying the moment and having fun with her, which leads to them dancing together. The song creates a bright and electrifying atmosphere, and the fast and dynamic beats of the song reinforce the festive nature of the party. The lyrics convey that the guy wants to take things step by step, whereas the girl seems to be looking for a serious relationship.

The song's catchy chorus, "She was thinking Mr. Right, I was thinking right now. Contemplating over it, over and over again," implies a mismatch in the priorities and desires of the two characters, but they both ultimately decide to let go and just have fun together. The song features a second verse, where the guy expresses his desires for the girl, and the lyrics metaphorically suggest their physical attraction to each other.
