[Intro]
We want that bam bam pop
[Verse 1]
Overkill like we do it for a living
We'll make history before we ever make a million
Move it, sucka, throw it down
Bring it back, you know that sound
Icon coming, common sense
Nothing wrong with a little bit of confidence
You tell 'em all what we're about
We're selling out, we're selling out
Stings the beginning then it all goes numb
When I'm done, we all go free
Make room for hers in history
Icon coming, did you hear?
We lost our minds again this year
We're selling out, we're selling out
[Pre-Chorus]
We know what to do
We know what to do
We know what to do
You ready?
[Chorus]
Bam bam pop pop, I like this a lot, lot
Turn it up, here we go, we wreck the radio
Boom boom, get your fix, give it to you just like this
Make your heart stop, we want that bam bam pop
Whoa, whoa, whoa
We want that bam bam pop
Whoa, whoa, whoa
We want that bam bam pop
[Verse 2]
Everybody here still half alive?
Anybody else can't sleep at night?
I know I'm not the only one going crazy
Same white noise on me daily save me
Maybe I don't want to turn it up
Maybe I want to turn it off when I've had enough
Maybe all your tricks won't fix me
This sick beat just makes me sick
Ready?
[Chorus]
Bam bam pop pop, I like this a lot, lot
Turn it up, here we go, we wreck the radio
Boom boom, get your fix, give it to you just like this
Make your heart stop, we want that bam bam pop
Whoa, whoa, whoa
We want that bam bam pop
Whoa, whoa, whoa
We want that bam bam pop
[Bridge]
I raise my fist just like this, just like this
[Chorus]
Bam bam pop pop, I like this a lot, lot
Turn it up, here we go, we wreck the radio
Boom boom, get your fix, give it to you just like this
Make your heart stop, we want that bam bam pop
[Chorus]
Bam bam pop pop, I like this a lot, lot
Turn it up, here we go, we wreck the radio
Boom boom, get your fix, give it to you just like this
Make your heart stop, we want that bam bam pop
[Chorus]
Bam bam pop pop, I like this a lot, lot
Turn it up, here we go, we wreck the radio
Boom boom, get your fix, give it to you just like this
Make your heart stop, we want that bam bam pop
“Catch commas” = make money.
When popular songs go viral, they tend to be played more often than we want them to. In Ariel’s words, she’s one of the rare people that actually get easily annoyed by that. Also, she’s saying that these catchy pop songs don’t help her in life, and therefore, are a waste of time.
Music that plays on the radio is usually meaningless yet people often play the most meaningless of songs loudly as if they want everyone to hear it.
This echoes the meaningless bopping along to songs that many people do. This may also allude to the silly lyrics songs playing on the radio often have.
Mainstream pop music is so popular that it can be played on any popular radio station, which is why they “wreck the radio”. REL is stressing to the listener the effects of it while using satire.
Potential reference to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”.
