M.I.A Lyrics

[Intro: Gia Koka]
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my wave, OK!
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my waves, OK!

[Verse 1]
Let's make a quick getaway
This party's shit anyway
Oh we could go M.I.A
Tell me, tell me what you say

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been bored out of my mind
Sitting here all night
And you know I got my eye on you

[Chorus]
No lie, no lie
I've been vibing to you all of this time
Don't say "Goodbye" (Hey)
We're out here, so you know
You and I could be somewhere catching waves
I say, "Hi”, now let's go M.I.A
[Post-Chorus: Gia Koka]
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my wave, OK!

[Verse 2]
They keep spoiling my Saturday
Didn't wanna dance anyway
Everybody here all the same
But we can do things differently

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been bored out of my mind
Sitting here all night
And you know, I got my eye on you

[Chorus]
No lie, no lie
I've been vibing to you all of this time
Don't say "Goodbye" (Hey)
We're out here, so you know
You and I could be somewhere catching waves
I say, "Hi”, now let's go M.I.A (Let's go M.I.A)

[Bridge]
There's a place, I could recommend (Oh oh)
We could smoke one more again (Yeah)
Kinda happy that I lost my friends
Wasn't gonna stay till the end
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been bored out of my mind
Sittin' here all night
And you know I got my eye on you

[Chorus]
No lie, no lie
I've been vibing to you all of this time
Don't say "Goodbye" (Hey)
We're out here, so you know
You and I could be somewhere catching waves
I say, "Hi”, now let's go M.I.A

[Post-Chorus: Gia Koka]
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my wave, OK!
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my waves, OK!

Genius Annotation

M.I.A” is the lead single off of Cher Lloyd’s third studio album currently titled with the placeholder name ‘CL3’. Cher teased the single just a few days before announcing it by removing all posts on her social media platforms and changing her layout to all pink color. Soon after letter by letter, Cher posted “M.I.A” with each letter being posted every 4 hours. The single was released on October 11th almost one year after 2018’s “None Of My Business”. In the song, Cher talks about wanting to escape a bad party. In an interview with “Billboard” Cher said…

“This song is a mood, it’s about capturing a feeling, I wanted the video to mirror exactly that. I wanted the vibe to feel playful, expressive, and fun. Every look gives a great insight into who I am and my personality.”

The song has since achieved over 10M streams across all platforms and charted in at 58 in Belgium.
