Lyrics

[Intro: Usher]
Usher, Usher, Usher
Yeah, man

[Verse 1: Usher]
So we back in the club
With our bodies rockin' from
Side to side, side-side to side, uh
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie
Gone back to life, back-back to life

[Pre-Chorus: Usher]
Hands up, uh
Yeah, suddenly, we all got our hands up, uh
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes
Eyes, eye-eyes

[Chorus: Usher]
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (Love again)
Yeah, baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (L-love again-gain)
So dance, dance like it's the last, last night
Of your life, life, gon' get you right
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (L-love again-gain)
[Verse 2: Usher]
Keep downin' drinks like there's no tomorrow
There's just right, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now
Gon' set the roof on fire
Gonna burn this motherf***** down, down, down
Down, down, down, down (Come on)

[Pre-Chorus: Usher]
Hands up, uh
When the music drops, we both put our hands up
Put your hands on my body
Swear I've seen you before
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes
Eyes, eye-eyes

[Chorus: Usher & Pitbull]
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (Love again)
Yeah, baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (L-love again-gain, oh yeah)
So dance, dance like it's the last, last night
Of your life, life, gon' get you right
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (L-love again-gain Usher, don't lie! haha, ohh)
[Verse 3: Pitbull]
Hear no evil, I speak no evil, I see no evil
Get it, baby, hope you catch that like T.O
That's how we roll
My life is a movie and you just TiVo, ha
Mami got me twisted like a dreadlock
She don't wrestle, but I got her in a headlock
Yabba-dabba-doo, make her bed rock
Mami on fire, pshh, red hot
Bada bing, bada boom
Mr. Worldwide as I step in the room
I'm a hustler, baby, but that you knew
And tonight it's just me and you, dale

[Chorus: Usher & Pitbull]
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again
(Mr. Worldwide, yeah, yeah, let's take over the world, haha)
Yeah, baby, tonight (Hahahaha, yeah man)
The DJ got us falling in love, falling in love, o-oh
(Dale) (Let go)
So dance, dance like it's the last, last night
Of your life, life, gon' get you right (Woo!)
(Come on, come on)
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah (Love again)
Yeah, baby, tonight
(Yeah, somebody get the DJ's up, somebody get the DJ's up)
The DJ got us falling in love again (L-love again-gain)
(Somebody get the hands up, get the hands up, get your hands up, aw, come on)
So dance, dance like it's the last, last night
Of your life, life, Gon' get you right
'Cause baby, tonight
The DJ got us falling in love again (L-love again-gain)
[Outro: Usher & Pitbull]
Hahaha...
Yeah
Thank you, DJ, haha

If you were to create a playlist featuring some of the biggest hits of the past decade, there is no way you could leave out "DJ Got Us Falling in Love" by Usher featuring Pitbull. This catchy tune was the first single from Usher's EP, "Versus." While it didn't quite reach the heights of "OMG," his chart-topping hit with will.i.am from earlier that year, it still managed to reach number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

About DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love

Released in 2010, "DJ Got Us Falling in Love" is a song about the club scene, intended to be a place to unwind and let loose. Usher begins the song by asking a girl if he’s seen her before, either as a tired pick-up line, or from a genuine sense of deja-vu. Pitbull then chimes in with a mix of bravado and sexual innuendo.

It’s worth noting that there are two versions of the song. One in which Pitbull's rap contains a lot more Spanglish, which may have been intended for a Hispanic audience. However, the version featured in the official video is the one that is most widely recognized.

One of the most striking features of this song is the beat. The uptempo club-ready beat was produced by electronic dance music producer Max Martin, who is known for his work with some of the biggest names in pop music, including Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry. The song also features an infectious hook, and both Usher and Pitbull contribute strong vocal performances.

One interesting thing to note about the song is the EP "Versus," which it was a part of. The extended play was released as a follow-up to Usher's sixth studio album, "Raymond v. Raymond," which included popular hits like "Papers" and "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)."

Interestingly, despite the fact that "DJ Got Us Falling in Love" was one of the most popular songs on "Versus," the EP as a whole was not as successful as Usher's previous efforts. Nonetheless, "DJ Got Us Falling in Love" endures as a fan favorite, and a testament to the enduring appeal of both Usher and Pitbull.

Overall, "DJ Got Us Falling in Love" is a perfect example of a feel-good summertime song. It may not be the most profound or groundbreaking song ever written, but it has an undeniable energy and charm that makes it an enduring hit.
