Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I make the rockstars and the pop stars
Wanna do it like
Wanna, Wanna, Wanna do it like me
Wanna do it like me
Wanna do it like me
Me, me, me

No when I take off my shades
Please don't be shock at my age
I'm taking over your game
Now will I scare you?
Boo!

My parents left me home alone,
They left me home alone
It's time to pick up the phone
And tell my friends come on!

Somebody bring me along
You betta bring me along
Can follow me in my truck

Feel the drums takin over control

Feel this feel that want you all in my song
Now watch me rock it yeah!

Wanna do it like

You know I'm not new in town
Downlaod your speakers now

This is exactly what the young teen genre needs -- a strong, independent, sassy, talented female vocal artist. There's too much overproduced over-controlled commercialization in the teen music market and Willow is a breath of fresh air. It's clear her parents know what they are doing allowing her to cultivate her creativity and individuality. I'm just awed by the talent in this family -- I imagine they are like their own artist's salon.

@xXXMaydayParadeXXx

I can't believe she did this all by herself, it's great. :) Good job Willow!

@carlfxy

Inspirational, wish I could give my kids the talent your parents have given you. Amazing.
