Theme[]
In her Genuis page, Dua eplained her inspiration behind the song:
"I wanted to write a happy song, which doesn’t happen very often, because I always want to write something sad dark. I wanted to write about something that made me feel good and made me feel sassy.
I wrote the song in L.A. with a woman called Lauren Christy and a guy called Jon Levine. We were like, “Why don’t we just write about being happy in your skin and being proud of who you are?” The main meaning that I wanted to get behind it was the whole idea that you have to be proud of who you are and not listen to anyone that wants you to fit some sort of criteria or certain type of box."

Lyrics[]
I know it’s hot
I know we've got
Something that money can’t buy
Fighting to fifths
Biting your lip
Loving too late in the night
Tell me I’m too crazy
You can’t tame me, can't tame me
Tell me I have changed
But I’m the same me, old same me
Inside
Hey!
If you don’t like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?
If you don’t like the way I rock, then finish your glass of wine
We fight and we argue, you'll still love me blind
If we don’t fuck this whole thing up
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind
Mwah!
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah (Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah)
Yeah, I'm so bad
Best that you’ve had
I guess you’re digging the show
Open the door
You want some more
When you wanna leave, let me know
Tell me I’m too crazy
You can’t tame me, can't tame me
Tell me I have changed
But I’m the same me, old same me
Inside
Hey!
If you don’t like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?
If you don’t like the way I rock, then finish your glass of wine
We fight and we argue, you'll still love me blind
If we don’t fuck this whole thing up
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind
Mwah!
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
Tell me I’m too crazy
You can’t tame me, can't tame me
Tell me I have changed
But I’m the same me, old same me
Inside
Hey!
Mwah!
If you don’t like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?
If you don’t like the way I rock, then finish your glass of wine
We fight and we argue, you'll still love me blind
If we don’t fuck this whole thing up
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind
Mwah!
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I’m alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
