About Rock Me

"Rock Me" is a song by English-Irish boy band One Direction from their second studio album, Take Me Home (2012). It was written by Peter Svensson, Sam Hollander, Lukasz Gottwald, Henry Walter, Breanna Smith, and Allan Grigg, with production handled by Dr. Luke, Circut and Kool Kojak. Created in one day, Grigg carried out the mid-tempo beat, Hollander conceptualised the title and the pop rock melody "just came". Its clapping riff has been noted as similar to that of the 1977 Queen single "We Will Rock You". The song garnered mostly positive reviews from music critics, who centred on production quality and its rock elements. Upon the release of Take Me Home, "Rock Me" debuted at number one on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart due to strong digital download sales, and ultimately peaked at number 98 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Do you remember summer '09
Wanna go back there every night
Just can't lie it was the best time of my life
Lying on the beach as the sun blew out
Playing this guitar by the fire too loud
Oh my my they could never shut us down

I used to think that I was better alone
Why did I ever want to let you go
Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea
The words you whispered I will always believe

I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah

Yeah we were together summer '09
Wanna roll back like press and rewind
You were mine and we never said goodbye

I used to think that I was better alone (Better alone)
Why did I ever want to let you go?(Let you go)
Under the moonlight as we stared to the sea (Stared at the sea)
The words you whispered I will always believe
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah

R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again yeah

R-O-C-K me again

R-O-C-K me again yeah

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
