After the afterparty we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
(XCX, Charli!)
I think it’s almost 4 AM but baby I’m still feelin’ just fine
Ice all up in a plastic cup and I’ma keep on sippin’ all night, yeah
I might’ve kissed a thousand lips, but maybe that’s just all in my mind
Some people never understand the way we live but we’re livin’ life
Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it’s never too late
So everyone say, “We don’t wanna stop!”
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna stay ’til mornin’
Then when the time is up, we’ll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re all in love
We’re all in love
I’m hangin’ on my best friend’s couch and my clothes are all on the floor
I got glitter in my underwear like it was Studio 54, yeah
I can’t remember why I love it, but I need it baby, clap, bring on the encore
Let’s pour another drink, the glasses go
Yeah, we’re always up for one more
Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it’s never too late
So everyone say, “We don’t wanna stop!”
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
‘Cause after the afterparty (Afterparty)
We’re gonna stay ’til mornin’ (Stay ’til mornin’)
Then when the time is up, we’ll do it again (Oh yeah, oh, Lil Boat!)
The party just ended but I’m not done with you
But my folks are out of town, we got a crib with a view
Y’all come over, bring a couple friends, I keep mine with me
Shouts out to Whitney, she was so wicked
The party was so crazy, oh
The party was so crazy, oh
Tomorrow I’ll be lazy
But I’ll spend it with you baby
Monday to Sunday, doin’ it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
And we do it like ice cream for dinner
Bucket of liquor, we’re getting sicker
Don’t need Ibiza
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
And we do it like
Monday to Sunday, doin’ it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
‘Cause after the afterparty (Afterparty)
We’re gonna stay ’til mornin’ (Stay ’til mornin’)
Then when the time is up, we’ll do it again (Oh yeah, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lil Boat, Lil Boat, Lil Boat)
(Lil Boat, Lil Boat, Lil Boat)
We’re all in love (Lil Boat, Lil Boat, Lil Boat)
We’re all in love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
(We’re all in love!)
A Celebration That Never Ends
“After The Afterparty” by Charli XCX perfectly captures the boundless energy and carefree spirit of endless youth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night that refuses to end, where the party continues into the early hours and every moment is embraced with wild abandon. With references to glitter, iconic nights, and friends, Charli XCX invites listeners into a world where fun takes precedence over responsibility and where the rules are rewritten in favor of living in the moment.
Living Life Unapologetically
The song’s hook, “we’re gonna keep it goin’,” encapsulates a sense of freedom and unity. The party becomes a metaphor for friendship, love, and self-expression, highlighting the joy of being surrounded by those who understand you.
