Lyrics:[]

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Sayin’ ayo, gotta let go,
And I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Sayin’ ayo, baby let's go,

I came to dance, dance, dance, dance,
I hit the floor cause that’s my plans, plans, plans, plans,
I’m wearin’ all my favourite brands, brands, brands, brands,
Give me some space for both my hands, hands, hands, hands,
Yeah, yeah,
Cause it goes on and on and on,
And it goes on and on and on,

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Sayin’ ayo, gotta let go,
I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Sayin’ ayo, baby let’s go,

Cause we gonn’ rock this club,
We gonn’ go all night,
We gonn’ light it up,
Like it’s dynamite,
Cause I told you once,
Now I told you twice,
We gonn’ light it up,
Like it’s dynamite,

I’m gonna take it all, like,
I’m gonna be the last one standin’,
I’m alone and all,
I-I’m gonna be the last one landin’,
Cause I-I-I, believe it,
And I-I-I, I just want it all,
I just want it all,
I’m gonna put my hands in the air,
Put my hands in the air,
Put your hands in the air,

Ugh,
Come on!
Wooh!
Throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Sayin’ ayo, gotta let go,
And I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Sayin’ ayo, baby let’s go,

Cause we gon’ rock this club,
We gon’ go all night,
And we gon’ light it up,
Like it’s dynamite,
Cause I told you once,
Now I told you twice,
We gon’ light it up,
Like it’s dynamite
