The lyrics in U-KISS's song Give It To Me is a declaration of love to a woman that the singer considers the woman of his life. The song begins with the singer acknowledging the woman's attraction and admiring her from all angles - the left, right, front, and back. He then states his intentions for the day and what he wants to do for her. He declares that he has been waiting for her and crushing on her, before beckoning her to come to him, repeating the phrase "Give it to me" as if asking for her love.
The song is an exclamation of desire and admiration and is one that rides on a lively beat. The song is an upbeat pop song that borrows elements from electro music. The chorus is catchy and utilizes repetition in a way that makes it easy to dance and sing along to. The song is a perfect example of how U-KISS specializes in catchy pop music that is both danceable and pleasantly simple. The song is meaningful, yet does not require listeners to decipher its meaning.
