If Taio’s edgy production and Seal-like vocals don’t have you hooked by the first verse, then maybe he’ll be reeling you out of the water by the song’s end. You can sing to the karaoke video here. THROW= If you throw your hands up in the air, you put your hands high up quickly, with an energetic movement. AYO= (coll. AmE) It's a merging of "Hey, Yo!", two colloquial greetings put together. It is mainly used when addressing an individual in any given situation to get his or her attention. GOTTA LET GO= I have to relax. WANNA= (coll.) Want to. CELEBRATE= To party and have fun (esp. to commemorate something like a victory, a birthday, etc.). To celebrate life is to be happy and have fun just because you love life. I HIT THE FLOOR= (coll.) If you hit a place, you go there. The floor here refers to the dance floor. 'CAUSE= (coll.) Because (also spelled COZ in BrE and CUZ in AmE) THAT'S MY PLANS= It should be "those are my plans" or "that's my plan". The author was probably thinking of "my plans" as a package, as one thing, so he uses a singular verb (informal English can be much more flexible, but standard English would consider this a mistake). BRANDS= A trademark or distinctive name identifying a product or a manufacturer. Famous brands in clothing are: Levis, G-Star, Lacoste... FOR BOTH MY HANDS= For my two hands. IT GOES ON= It continues. The form "it goes on and on and on" is emphatic, so it means "it never stops". GON'= (coll.) gonna = be going
to ROCK= (coll.) If you rock a place you agitate it, you cause a commotion there, in this case because you party and dance so much and good that everybody gets overexcited about you. CLUB= Disco. WE GON' GO ALL NIGHT= We're going to continue (partying) all night long. LIGHT IT UP= If you light something up, you put fire to it so it starts burning. The song says "we gon' light it up like it's dynamite", it means: we're going to make it burn just as you make dynamite burn and it explodes". To make the club explode means to start a wild party, to have great fun. LIKE= The word "like" may be a verb or a preposition, but here it is used as a conjunction, which happens a lot in informal English,
especially in America. -Preposition: You are beautiful like the moon TOLD YOU= /təʊldʒu:/ Notice the assimilation /d+j=dʒ/ MOVE= The "perfect" pronunciation of this word is /mu:v/, but in England the vowel /u:/ is slowly becoming a diphthong, so it is commonly pronounced like Taio says here, something similar to /məʊ:v/ with a very soft /ə/. MY CREW= (informal) My friends. GONNA= (coll.) Going to. PUT YOUR= /pʊtʃɔ:/ And here we have another very common assimilation /t+j=tʃ/ So here are the 4 most common assimilations in English, all using the sound /j/ (sound found mainly in the spelling Y, I and the beginning of U): 1- T+Y= CH / t+j=tʃ / Put you, future |
