How We Do (Party) Lyrics

And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit... And party, and party I stumbled up to the window Opened the curtains to blinding light Make up all over the pillow What went on? What went on? What went on last night? You look so sweet while you're dreaming (yeah) Holding your bottle of Tanqueray (yeah) It isn't even the weekend Baby, that's how I know you're the one for me I wanna party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party, and party 'Cause when the sun sets baby On the avenue I get that drunk sex feeling Yeah, when I'm with you So put your arms around me, baby We're tearing up the town 'Cause that's just how we do We got that sweet, hot loving Dancing in the dark Out in the streets we're running Shut down every bar So put your arms around me, baby We're tearing up the town 'Cause that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do Hungover, I think I'm broken You said the fix is a shot of Jack I said, "Man, what are you smoking?" But alright, pour a glass, and we'll throw 'em back I wanna party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party, and party 'Cause when the sun sets baby On the avenue I get that drunk sex feeling Yeah when I'm with you So put your arms around me baby We're tearing up the town 'Cause that's just how we do We got that sweet, hot loving Dancing in the dark Out in the streets we're running Shut down every bar So put your arms around me, baby We're tearing up the town 'Cause that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do I wanna party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit... And party, and party I wanna party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit... And party, and party 'Cause when the sun sets baby On the avenue I get that drunk sex feeling Yeah when I'm with you So put your arms around me baby We're tearing up the town 'Cause that's just how we do We got that sweet hot loving Dancing in the dark Out in the streets we're running Shut down every bar So put your arms around me baby We're tearing up the town 'Cause that's just how we do And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and bullshit And party and party How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do How we do, that's just how we do

Meaning of How We Do (Party)

“How We Do (Party)” by Rita Ora is a gloriously uninhibited anthem celebrating the messy, exhilarating experience of late-night partying and impulsive connection. The song’s core revolves around a hedonistic loop – “party and bullshit” – that quickly becomes an almost mantraic declaration of intent. The narrative unfolds through fragmented recollections: stumbling upon a scene, a blurry memory of makeup smeared across a pillow, the unsettling question "What went on?" immediately followed by a desire to repeat the experience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of excess; Tanqueray bottles, a “drunk sex feeling” as the sun sets over an avenue, and a frantic energy that spills out onto the streets, shutting down bars in its wake. It’s not a romantic love song in the traditional sense; instead, it's about finding temporary solace and excitement through shared recklessness with someone – or perhaps multiple someones – fueled by alcohol and a collective desire to simply “tear up the town.” Rita Ora doesn’t offer introspection or regret; she embraces the consequences of this behavior. The repeated "hungover, I think I'm broken" followed by a solution—a shot of Jack—highlights the cyclical nature of their actions and acknowledges the inevitable fallout. The song’s infectious beat and Ora’s confident delivery contribute to its overall feeling of unapologetic joy and abandon. Ultimately, “How We Do (Party)” isn’t just about partying; it’s an assertion of freedom, a rejection of societal constraints, and a playful invitation to indulge in the fleeting pleasures of the moment – a sentiment that resonates with anyone who has ever chased a wild night out.
