Slow Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now that I have captured your attention
I wanna steal you for a rhythm intervention

Mr. TSA, I'm ready for inspection
Sh-sh-show me how you make a first impression


[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Can we take it nice and slow, slow?

Break it down and drop it low, low
'Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights
'Til you can't let me go (Ah)

[Chorus]
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long, baby, slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end, hit rewind
All night long, baby, slow down the song
(Slow, slow) Yeah, baby, slow down the song
(Slow, slow) Yeah, baby, slow down the song

[Verse 2]
If you want me, I'm accepting applications
So long as we can keep this record on rotation
You know I'm good with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Breathe me in, breathe me out
So amazin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Can we take it nice and slow, slow?

Break it down and drop it low, low
'Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights
'Til you can't let me go (Ah)

[Chorus]
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long, baby, slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end, hit rewind
All night long, baby, slow down the song
(Slow, slow) Yeah, baby, slow down the song
(Slow, slow) Yeah, baby, slow down the song

[Bridge]
(Breathe me in, breathe me out)
The music's got me going
(Breathe me in, breathe me out)
No stopping 'til the morning
(Breathe me in, breathe me out)
You know I'm ready for it, for it, for it, yeah
(Breathe me in, breathe me out)
The music's got me going
(Breathe me in, breathe me out)
No stopping 'til the morning
(Breathe me in, breathe me out)
You know I'm ready for it, for it, for it, yeah
[Interlude: Dev]
(It's The Cataracs)
(Ah)

[Chorus]
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long, baby, slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end, hit rewind
All night long, baby, slow down the song
(Slow, slow) Yeah, baby, slow down the song
(Slow, slow) Yeah, baby, slow down the song

[Outro]
How do I do it?
It-It-It's The Cataracs
Ha ha ha ha

Genius Answer

According to Songfacts, the singer told MTV News:

It’s basically just about having this moment and not having to rush it, because I don’t know how many times I’ve been like, ‘I just want to be married and over this,’ but this is what we’re supposed to be enjoying.

She also said:

I love to dance and I love to make people dance. It’s the best feeling.
