[Verse 1]
He's got the personality not even gravity could ever hold him down
He's got the sexuality of a man who can take a room and drown it out
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Inching closer to sunrise
Now we're standin' eye to eye
I wanna tell you what's on my—
On my mind (Let's go)
[Chorus]
You just got me started
And I don't think I can stop it
And I don't wanna go home alone, alright?
Oh, baby, baby
Boy, can I be honest?
Kinda miss usin' my body
Fuck it up just like this party did tonight
Oh, baby, baby
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I want it, grip you tight
I've seen enough of your body
Come back and feel the vibe
[Verse 2]
We've got that hot chemistry, yeah, you and me won't make it out this house
We should experiment even to the detriment of whoever's on the couch (Oh, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Inching closer to sunrise
Now we're layin' side by side
I wanna tell you what's on my— (Yeah)
On my mind
[Chorus]
You just got me started
And I don't think I can stop it
And I don't wanna go home alone, alright?
Oh, baby, baby
Boy, can I be honest?
Kinda miss usin' my body
Fuck it up just like this party did tonight
Oh, baby, baby
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
I want it, grip you tight
I've seen enough of your body
Come back and feel the vibe
Oh, baby, baby
[Bridge]
Boy, can I be honest?
Boy, can I be honest?
Yeah
We got somethin' to give each other
You just, you just, you just, you just (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You just got me started
And I don't think I can stop it
And I don't wanna go home alone, alright? (Alright?)
Oh, baby, baby
Boy, can I be honest?
Kinda miss usin' my body
Fuck it up just like this party did tonight
Oh, baby, baby (Yeah)
[Outro]
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
We got somethin' to give each other

When we were writing this song, I was emphatic about using “Shooting Stars” — I just kept humming it in the studio. I’m over the moon about the opportunity to sample that track because this song is iconic to me. Ian Kirkpatrick’s production technique of recording the vocal at a slower speed and then...
This was very much inspired by seeing Janet Jackson at the Hollywood Bowl. If Rush takes place at a club, this is more of a house party and it’s that moment where someone finally sparks you again.
