[Verse 1: Ava Max]
That's the motto (Mhm)
Throw it back with no chaser, with no trouble (Mhm)
Poppin' that Moët, baby, let's make some bubbles (Mhm)
Puffin' on that Gelato
Wanna be seeing double
Gotta do what you gotta
[Pre-Chorus: Ava Max]
Believe it, we ain't got no plans to leave here
Tell all of your friends to be here
We ain't gonna sleep all weekend
Oh, you know, you know, you know
[Chorus: Ava Max & Tiësto]
That's the motto (Mhm)
Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm)
Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)
We been up all damn summer
Makin' that bread and butter
Tell me, did I just stutter?
That's the motto (Mhm)
Drop a few bills and pop a fеw champagne bottles (Mhm)
Throwin' that money likе you just won the lotto (Mhm)
We been up all damn summer
Makin' that bread and butter
Tell me, did I just stutter?
That's the motto (I feel it)
That's the motto (I feel it)
[Verse 2: Ava Max]
Hopped in the Range, can't feel my face
The window's down (Down)
Back to my place
My birthday cake is comin' out (Oh)
The way it's hittin' like
I could go all night
Don't want no bloodshot eyes
So hold my drink, let's fly
[Pre-Chorus: Ava Max]
Believe it, we ain't got no plans to leave here
Tell all of your friends to be here
We ain't gonna sleep all weekend
Oh, you know, you know, you know
[Chorus: Ava Max & Tiësto]
That's the motto (Mhm)
Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm)
Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)
We been up all damn summer (Oh)
Makin' that bread and butter (Yeah)
Tell me, did I just stutter?
That's the motto (Mhm)
Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm)
Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)
We been up all damn summer (Oh)
Makin' that bread and butter
Tell me, did I just stutter?
That's the motto (I feel it)
That's the motto (I feel it)
(Oh)
[Outro: Tiësto]
(I feel it, feel it)
(I feel it)
(I feel it, feel it)
(I feel it)
