Fade in the bass like so;

Now with momentum go “stop”

And bring the beat back

It’s called Four-on-the-floor

A beat you can’t ignore

I’ll bring sexy back once more [“yeah!”]

They’ll love that [“yeah!”] fo’ sho’!

The chords are 1-4-6-4

Now I’m talkin familiar

Harmony in thirds, not fourths

We'll take you into the pre-chorus

"Hey girl, we’ve only got tonight"?

G A

Some things just go together like:

[Verse 2]

Guitar and strings like these

To sound like Black Eyed Peas
