About Blackout

"Blackout" is a song by Australian pop singer Bonnie Anderson and was released in June 2014. The song is about acting on your strongest desires and came out of a collaboration between Anderson and RedOne during a recent writing trip to Los Angeles. It peaked at number 24 on the ARIA Charts and was certified gold. Anderson said "'Blackout' came from a conversation we were having about boys... hot boys! It is about a desperate desire and wanting something so badly and so passionately, you just have to have it now! The 'blackout' is that intense secret moment between you and that person, and nothing else matters. "

He's tatted on his back, I'm all about it
Knows how to make me sweat
He got it, got it
I'm 'bout to do it to you, you, you
Oh, boy, what am I supposed to do?

You ignited, can't fight it
Joy riding, we all-nightin'
Knows how to make me sweat
He got it, got it
He got it, got it

Running with fire, danger
Got us on the edge of losing our power
Take me down
Better turn them lights out

Turn them out, out, out
Boy, I'll take it for myself 
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now (now)
Can I get a blackout? 

Show me your bag of tricks
Put it on me
You know I'll handle it
Like my body

Tonight I'm loving you, you, you, you, you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do

You ignited, can't fight it
Joy riding, we all-nightin'
Show me your bag of tricks
Put it on me, put it on me

Running with fire, danger
Got us on the edge of losing our power
Take me down
Better turn them lights out

Turn them out, out, out
Boy, I'll take it for myself 
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now (now)
Can I get a blackout? 

In a black haze, raw emotion
You're the only one in focus
In darkness we're floating, floating

Running with fire, danger
Got us on the edge of losing our power
Take me down
Better turn them lights out, out, out
Turn them out, out, out
Wanna take you for myself 
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now
Right now, now, now (now)
Can I get a blackout? Yeah
