[edit] Song information

The song is Lyttle being very turned on by a girl in a club as he sings "you've got me goin' crazy, you, turn me on, turn me on". He makes some reference of the girl pushing him off and Lyttle then says" if you think your gonna get away from me, you better change your mind". The end of the song does not tell if the girl goes home or does not go home with him, however, in the music video, the girl is dancing with Kevin Lyttle as if she is also turned on. He also uses the auto-tune effect.

There are various remixes of the song. Many radio stations played the pop mix that had added drums to it to have a more club feel. Another is a Bubbling/Part II remix by DJ Lipe (Santiago, Chile), which the girl is on the track and is turned on. It also has a club feel. There is a Mad Hatters Ball Remix featuring Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds
