[Chorus: Charli XCX with Troye Sivan]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, sing „Hit me, baby, one more time”
Wanna go back, wanna go
[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
Yeah, I just wanna go back
Nike Airs, All That
CD, old Mercedes
Drive ’round listening to Shady like, oh
Never under pressure, oh
Those days, it was so much better, oh
Feelin’ cool in my youth, relaxin’
No money, no problem
It was easy back then
[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight
Tonight’s the night
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back
Sing „Hit me, baby, one more time”
Wanna go back, wanna go
[Verse 2: Troye Sivan, Charli XCX & Both]
Yeah, I remember back home
Best friends, all night, no phone
No cares, I was dumb and so young
My room singing Michael Jackson (Hee, hee)
Never under pressure, oh
Those days it was so much better, oh
Feelin’ cool in my youth, I’m askin’
„Does anyone remember how we did it back then?”
[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX with Troye Sivan]
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight
Tonight’s the night
Ah, yeah
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back
Sing „Hit me, baby, one more time”
Wanna go back, wanna go
[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX, Troye Sivan & Both]
Back to where we came from
Playin’ air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Ah, yeah
[Bridge: Troye Sivan & Charli XCX]
Back to 1999
I know those days are over, but a boy can fantasize
'Bout JTT on MTV and when I close my e-e-eyes
And I’m right there, right there
And he’s right there, right there
And we’re right there, right there
Ah, ah, ah, I wanna go back
[Chorus: Charli XCX with Troye Sivan]
I just wanna go back (Yeah), back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back
Sing „Hit me, baby, one more time”
Wanna go back, wanna go
[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX, Troye Sivan & Both]
Back to where we came from (Came from)
Playin’ air guitar on the roof (Ah)
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999 (Go back)
Go back, yeah, yeah
I just wanna go back, yeah, back to 1999
Take me back to ’99 (Yeah)
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Troye Sivan dołączył do Charli XCX w podróży sentymentalnej do końcówki lat 90. Artyści zaprezentowali wspólny singiel „1999”.
We wspólnym singlu, Charli XCX i Troye Sivan marzą, by cofnąć się w czasie do 1999 roku, z którym wiążą się bardzo miłe wspomnienia. W tekście pojawia się dużo odniesień do popkultury z tamtego okresu.
Charli nawiązuje do marki samochodów znanej jako Mercedes-Benz. Chociaż Mercedes-Benz istnieje od 1901 roku, w 1999 roku Mercedes AMG został zintegrowany z Mercedes Benz.
Również w 1999 roku Daimler-Chrysler przejął firmę odpowiedzialną za produkcję Mercedes-Benz. Jest to odniesienie do tego, że Charli miała około siedmiu lat, kiedy był 1999 rok (urodziła się w 1992). To także subtelny ukłon w stronę piosenek Sivana „YOUTH” i „COOL”.
