I'm feeling good, I've been waiting for this day

Just like the moment we first met, now we're together again

I'm feeling cool, now everything's perfect

Everything's changed in this moment with you, yeah

Baby, baby, I'll show you everything, come a little closer

Let's move anywhere, just let's go party

Under these blazing lights, I want to enjoy it now

Clear my mind and throw everything to me

A wonderful day has come—just the moment we've waited for

Let’s play on this heated stage together

Erase all worries and leave everything to me
