Trey Songz's song No Clothes On is a sensual song about the artist's attraction to a woman he imagines without clothes. The song starts with Trey's voice asserting that he can picture the woman he desires with no clothes on giving the song a steamy and sexual tone. The chorus of the song, "no clothes on," is repeated several times, emphasizing Trey's desire to see the woman with no clothes on. He continues to sing about his infatuation, admiring her body, and attempting to get closer to her.
Trey's lyrics also include hip hop references, such as "pop lock and drop it," and "snapping out them jeans." These references allude to the sexual dance moves the artist wants the woman to perform, adding to the overall sexual tone of the song. He continues to encourage the woman to let him work "that thing" and promises not to hurt her but satisfy her desires with him.
The chorus repeats with Trey's voice making insinuations that he might be dreaming as he imagines the woman with no clothes on. He ends the song repeating the title, "no clothes on," emphasizing his want for the woman that he cannot stop imagining.
