[English]

Chilling in my best friend's ride.

Hanging up the passenger side. Flying

down the 405. I just got to hold on

tight. And we got nowhere to be. Someone

put on fantasy. We should really move

with caution. We should do this way more

often. 100 miss

I ain't checking on turn the music I

want to go I want to go outside all

night party like it's 99 night no phone

on me could be such a vibe all night

party like it's 99

we got the time no cares can't be wrong

So right. Come here. Bring your body

close to mine. All night party like it's

night

in my tummy jeans. We going to take a

weekend. Yeah. We don't need no sleep.

Every day is a weekend. Yeah. Feeling

like we on cloud n. But there ain't a

cloud inside. Really want to make this

day last all night.

100 miss calls. I ain't checking on turn

the music. I want to go. I want to say

all night party like it's night. Hold on

me.

All night

[Music]

we

don't care

[Music]

all night.

[Music]

I want to fight with you.

I want to fight with you.

Take a sunny night, baby.

Oh, like

baby.

[Music]

>> It's actually really cute.

>> Like that. Wait, turn around and give a

little booty bump. No, both of you.

Ready?

>> Right, left, right, left, right.

>> This at 7 a.m. is crazy.

>> Boob shot. No, I'm just kidding.

[Music]

Heat.
