The meaning of the video & song Ride it by Jay Sean. Jay Sean has a pleasant timbre and a melodious manner of performance. However, it is precisely this that can prevent a correct understanding of the semantic message of the song, including the long-standing, but still in demand, single of the singer called Ride it. Let’s try to figure out what the author wanted to convey to the listener, and why Jay Sean’s song Ride it is still recognizable.
The meaning of the song Ride it
The reason for the popularity of the track Ride it is its relevance at all times, because the main motive of the song is love and romantic experiences at a time when relationships have not yet begun, and the chemistry between people is obvious. The lyrical hero is a man in love with a girl, despite all the difficulties in their relationship. The text says that they have been trying to move to a new level of relationship for several months, and the lady of the heart constantly teases him without giving any concrete answers.
But the man is more and more fascinated: his beloved behaves like a prima donna, she is impudent, and thus attracts him even more. At times, she becomes affectionate with him, and, it would seem, is already ready to ride it, which literally translates as “to become mine.” In addition, the heroine constantly flirts with Jay Sean’s alter ego, they meet at a party, dance, hug, flirt tirelessly and become more and more addicted to this seemingly not so fleeting club romance.
In the third verse, the reasons for such a strange behavior of the girl become clear. She answers the phone and gets into a fight with someone else, presumably her ex-boyfriend. And her words prove that those relationships evoke a greater response in her than just starting. And the hero is ready to leave, but she stops him, thereby proving that there is nothing stronger than passion in the world. It seems so at first glance…
The meaning of the video Ride it
Jay Sean’s Ride it video might seem obvious: it, like the song itself, takes place in a club. And the main characters are the singer himself and a pretty girl with dark hair, who is the main character of the song. However, it has details that allow you to better understand the text and feel the atmosphere of the composition.
The main text is illustrated with simple dances and hugs in the club, but the last minute of the song deserves a separate analysis. First, it is necessary to note the moment after the lovers’ quarrel. It is illustrated by the dance of the girls in the club. It would seem that such a number is the highlight of the evening program. But the faces of the dancers are serious. This goes well with the minor and forcing musical insert in this moment. Immediately after this insertion, the couple is back together, and you might think that everything will end well for her …
But don’t jump to conclusions. The feature of the clip is the moments in which the artist is shown standing in a darkened corridor. He is turned to face the listener, who, according to the message of the text, is his passion. That is, moving forward, on camera, can be considered steps towards these relations, their development. But what do we see at the end? Jay Sean turns around and walks away from the viewer, somewhere into the darkness. This indicates that, despite the happy ending to the chorus and the whole single, the lyrical hero is not ready to start a relationship with a woman whose heart is actually occupied by another.
Moreover, he moves with a confident gait, without turning around and proudly raising his head. This points to the hidden meaning of the Ride it video: Jay’s character is attracted to and has feelings for a girl, but, nevertheless, he is not ready for a relationship that will not lead to anything good. And the fact that the lady has problems with the past novel proves that their couple has no future.
Obviously, many of Jay Sean’s songs sound frivolous, like regular club music. However, almost all the clips for them contain hidden messages. For example, in Ride it, the author points out that one should not be fascinated by fleeting intrigues, get carried away by them more than necessary. You should always follow the call of common sense, and remember that it is impossible to start a new relationship without finishing the old one. This philosophical depth, combined with a relaxing track, makes the singer’s work in demand at all times and deserving of all-round attention.
Ride It by Jay Sean Lyrics
Ride it, we’re all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, touch my soul
Ride it, ride, let me feel you
It’s been a month and twenty days
And we’re going ’round and ’round, playing silly games
Now you’re saying, slow it down, not right now
Then ya wink at me and walk away
Let it be, let it be, let it be known
Hold on, don’t go
Touching and teasing me, telling me no
But this time I need to feel you
Ride it, we’re all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Movida was the club on the Saturday
Ya actin’ like a diva, sayin’ you don’t wanna pay
It’s gotta be ya feisty style, raised eyebrow
I love it when you look at me that way
Now we’re in, you order a mojito at the bar
You re-apply lippy ’cause it came off on the glass
The DJ plays your favorite songs, Kanye’s on
Now ya beckoning for me to dance
Mm, pullin’ me, pullin’ me, pullin’ me close
Just close your eyes, girl
Whispering, tellin’ me we gotta go
Won’t you take me home? I want to ride it
Ride it, we’re all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Won’t you take me home? I wanna
Ride it, we’re all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride It by Jay Sean Lyrics Alternative
Become mine, because we’re all alone
Become mine, lose control of yourself
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
Be mine, turn off the light
Become mine, all the way
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
It’s been about a month and twenty days
¶¶ And we’re going around playing silly games ¶¶
♪ You say, “Chill out, not now” ♪
¶ And then you wink at me and walk away ¶
Let me, let me, let me tell you this now:
No, please don’t go.
You tease me with your touch and say, “No.”
But this time I must feel you
Become mine, because we’re all alone
Become mine, lose control of yourself
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
Be mine, turn off the light
Become mine, all the way
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
We went to Morina’s nightclub on Saturday
¶ You acted like a diva, saying you didn’t want to pay ¶
It must be your cheeky manners and your high-pitched stare
I love it when you look at me like that.
Now you’re ordering a mojito at the bar
¶ And you’re fixing your makeup because there’s lipstick on your glass ¶
¶¶ The DJ’s playing your favorite Kanye West song ¶¶
¶ And you’re pulling me to dance ¶
¶ Mmm, you pull me closer to you ¶
¶ And you close your eyes ¶
¶ You whisper to me that we need to get out of here ¶
“Will you take me home? I want to.”
¶ Become mine, because we’re all alone ¶
Become mine, lose control of yourself
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
Be mine, turn off the light
Become mine, all the way
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
“Will you take me home? I want to.”
Become mine, because we’re all alone
Become mine, lose control of yourself
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Be mine, be mine, let me feel you
Be mine, turn off the light
Become mine, all the way
Be mine, be mine, touch my soul
Become mine, become mine, let me feel you
