1999 (Stripped) Lyrics

[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 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]
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: Both]
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight
Tonight's the night, yeah

[Chorus: Both]
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: 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]
Yeah
Back to 1999
Back to '99, yeah
I know those days are over but a boy can fantasize
'Bout JTT on MTV and when I close my eye-eye-eyes
And I'm right there, right there (Right there, right there)
And he’s right there, right there (Right there)
And we’re right there, right there
Ah, ah, ah

[Chorus: Both]
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: 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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
