Lit day! What's going on!

Wake me, wake me up! Turning on!

Unwavering feeling

Always here

This moment! Capture this!

Let's explode super duper!

Don't you know?

How about it?

What do you got, man?!

What do you got, man?!

Yes!! The blazing sun, sparks flying, let's dance!

Matching perfectly, focus locked on

Yes!! Doing what I want, my stubborn body

Fully showing off, so keep my swag

Nananana...

Nananana...

Stop!

My reflection in the window

My makeup—'Oh, really good!'

Don't stop the rhythm

Hot summer vibe

Haha, xxx

Aim and fire, Bang! Bang!

Feeling so fresh, Smash! Smash!

From here—Zoom! Zoom!

Boom Boom Boom...

C'mon, bouncing and beating

Anywhere's a dance floor

Bring on the summer breeze

It's time now, showtime!!!

Yes!! The blazing sun, sparks flying, let's dance!

Matching perfectly, focus locked on

Yes!! Doing what I want, my stubborn body

Fully showing off, so keep my swag

If you're feeling lit, say hell yeah!

If you're bad and boujee, say yeah!

All my ladies looking snatched, say!

All my gentlemen looking snatched, say!

Yes!! The blazing sun, sparks flying, let's dance!

Matching perfectly, focus locked on

Yes!! Doing what I want, my stubborn body

Fully showing off, so keep my swag
