Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta get out
Can’t hold my feelings in the closet of doubt
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
What will they say if they find out
Don’t know who i am or what to feel
Was it real was it real
Was it real was it real
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
Was heading one way then i changed the route
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
Face the feelings i can no longer doubt
Don’t know who i am or what to feel
Was it real was it real
Don’t know who i am or what to feel
Was it real was it real
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
I tried to hide it but now it’s out
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
Thought it was raining but it’s really a drought
Don’t know who i am or what to feel
Was it real was it real
Don’t know who i am or what to feel
Was it real was it real
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
Silent surrender in front of the crowd
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
Love is a feeling and it is allowed
Love is love
The lyrics to the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" convey the emotions of an individual who is struggling to come to terms with their own identity and feelings. The repetition of the phrase "I gotta get out" highlights the individual's intense desire to break free from the confines of doubt and uncertainty. The phrase "can't hold my feelings in the closet of doubt" is particularly powerful, as it suggests that the individual has hidden their true emotions and desires for far too long, and that it is now time to let them out.
The lyrics also touch on the fear of being judged by others, with the phrase "what will they say if they find out" highlighting the anxiety that can arise when we reveal our true selves to others. However, the lyrics ultimately call for freedom and self-expression, as the individual strives to "face the feelings I can no longer doubt" and to "get out" of the situation that has been holding them back.

I'm 19. I remember when they played this back in elementary. The late 2000 and early 2010 era is the goat.

@@RyanTheDarkI was in 6th grade, and went with my middle school homies to this church dance 😂
And they had this shit playing. Back when I was in love with my friends sister, I tried asking her out but she rejected me, she’s now married to some fat guy. And back when we had a friend group. Always going to the mall on weekends lol. Time flies
