Within just a couple of weeks in October 2008 Sam and Jack were introduced to Son Studios in White Notley, Essex where they met Sonny Watson-Lang, who had agreed to session for them on drums and percussion for a 4 track EP. In just a week the first mixes were sounding awesome. Everyone was totally thrilled with the outcome. Sonny(18) was soon convinced to join the band.
After much deliberation Twenty Twenty was decided as a name for the band by the 3 boys and then were straight back in the studio to record a whole collection of tracks - 14 in fact.
Since then, they have gone on several headline tours and supported the likes of Mcfly, Selena Gomez and Scouting For Girls.
They also played a show at the O2 Arena on the 13th July 2010 with The Saturdays, Ironik, Eliza Doolittle, The Wanted and Tinchy Stryder.
According to the Love To Life Songfacts, Twenty Twenty released their first official single World's Apart on July 4, 2010, which reached #72 in the UK singles chart.
get down
Twenty Twenty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm wanting to know how to get you by my side
You seem
So curious when we're talking
And I know
All I'm thinking is when this will end
And believe I'm seeing things as a different way
Can we get down, get down, get down
And drop the small talk
Woah oh oh
I can't slow down, slow down, slow down
You're making my heart stop beating
Please don't let me down
So lets stop pretending and drop the small talk now
You never seem to spend any time with him
And I always know what to say in the end
I'll break, for knowing I could of started this
But you don't seem to care when I fall I'm such a mess
And believe I'm seeing things as a different way
Woah oh oh
Can we get down, get down, get down
And drop the small talk
Woah oh oh
I can't slow down, slow down, slow down
You're making my heart stop beating
Please don't let me down
So lets stop pretending and drop the small talk now
Knocked down! As you race by.
I'm... Flat out! As you choose the other guy
And I'll stand this one out
Cause your just something I'll learn to live without
Woah oh oh
Can we get down, get down, get down
And drop the small talk
Woah oh oh
Can we get down, get down, get down
And drop the small talk
Woah oh oh
I can't slow down, slow down, slow down
You're making my heart stop beating
Please don't let me down
(Please don't let me down)
So lets stop pretending and drop the small talk now
Woah oh oh
Can we get down, get down, get down
And drop the small talk
Woah oh oh
I can't slow down, slow down, slow down
You're making my heart stop beating
Please don't let me down
(Please don't let me down)
So lets stop pretending and drop the small talk now
The lyrics of Twenty Twenty's "Get Down" explore the mixed emotions of a person who is interested in someone but is unsure of how to get their attention. The singer notices that the person they are interested in seems curious when they talk, but they are unsure of whether the other person feels the same way. They want to drop the small talk and get to the heart of the matter, but they are afraid of being rejected.
The singer is caught between feeling like they could have started something with the other person, but also feeling like they are a mess and not good enough. They want to know if the other person feels the same way, but they are afraid to ask. The chorus is a plea to drop the small talk and get to the heart of the matter, to see if there is something real between them.
The bridge is a moment of realization for the singer. They see that the other person has chosen someone else over them, and they are resigned to living without them. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, begging for the small talk to stop and for the truth to be revealed.
Overall, the lyrics of "Get Down" capture the fear and uncertainty that come with attraction, and the desire for honesty and clarity in a relationship.
