construction

The song's intro forms a soft melody along with Taio Cruz's chant about an inner struggle. It seems like the song is a ballad. But matching the text, “ Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on / You know you make my engine run, run, run, run / And there's no turning back cause we've gone too far / I'll drive you like a fast car. ”, Which translates as“ Girl, you really turn me on. You know you get my engine running. And there's no going back cause we've gone too far I'll drive you like a fast car. ", The tone sequence gets faster and the slow tones turn into dance beats.
