Mollie King Is Back With 'Hair Down' And It's Total Pop Perfection
The Saturdays star is back with a huge bang-er...
Friday, September 1, 2017 - 10:26
Mollie King stomps into this week's New Music Friday playlists with one thing on her mind: she needs to let her 'Hair Down'.
Embracing her pure-pop roots again, the singer's solo return is a frantic call for dancefloor action that packs a punch much harder than anything on radio right now - and it's all the better for it.
'Hair Down' is produced by Xenomania, who Mollie worked with on The Saturdays' hits 'All Fired Up' and 'What Are You Waiting For?', and are responsible for Girls Aloud's trademark in-your-face pop that didn't make much lyrical sense half the time.
Tonight we're on a massive attack
Yeah baby I'm a party freak
And there's no going back
But can you handle that?
Watch me work it out on the floor
Yeah I'm addicted to the beat
Boy what you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting...
'Cause the party ain't over 'til we party through
Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon
And baby when you think that you've had enough
We'll take things a whole level up
I wanna lose control, let it go
Lose control, let it go
Lose control
I wanna lose control, let it go
Lose control, let it go
Lose control
Lose control
Tonight we're pushing it to the max
I'll take away your sanity
And you won't get it back
But can you handle that?
Get your body out on the floor
'Cause if you're partying with me
Then you gotta give more
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

'Cause the party ain't over 'til we party through
Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon
And baby when you think that you've had enough
We'll take things a whole level up
Tonight we're gonna party, party, party
Wanna see everybody move their body, body, body
'Cause it's the only way that I'll party, party, party
Yeah everybody grab somebody, let's get naughty, naughty
Oh, we're burning up, oh, we're burning up
Oh, we're burning up, oh, we're burning up
Oh, we're burning up, oh, we're burning up
Oh, we're burning up, oh, we're burning up
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com
The song doesn't pay much attention to standard pop rules, as Mollie follows a 39 second instrumental with the chorus before going into the absolutely ludicrous first verse.
"Pleased to meet you, barbershop quartet / But that means you obviously ain't getting any sex" is the best lyric of 2017 and that is not up for debate, alright?
'Hair Down' is a total banger, unashamedly camp, and will have you singing "na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na" all day long.
As for the music video, Mollie is in total Pop Princess mode in the glittery, dance-based affair, where she hair-flips approximately 729 times and manages not to break her neck.
We're obsessed with all of this.
Bravo, Mollie!

Don't wanna be with nobody
Just wanna make it with you
Caught up in all of my feelings
Baby, why don't you feel like I do?
And I wonder what you're thinking right now
No, I never can tell
And I wonder why we're doing this now
I keep asking myself
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
We're staring up at the ceiling
Why do we do what we do?
When you put your body on me
You know I keep on falling for you
And I wonder what you're thinking right now
Cause I'm going through hell
And I wonder why we're doing this now
I keep asking myself
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
And I know that you know what we do this over and over
But it's always been you that I'm running to over and over
Back to us too
Why you, why you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
And I know that you know what we do this over and over
But it's always been you that I'm running to over and over
Back to us too
Just wanna make it with you
Caught up in all of my feelings
Baby, why don't you feel like I do?
And I wonder what you're thinking right now
No, I never can tell
And I wonder why we're doing this now
I keep asking myself
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
We're staring up at the ceiling
Why do we do what we do?
When you put your body on me
You know I keep on falling for you
And I wonder what you're thinking right now
Cause I'm going through hell
And I wonder why we're doing this now
I keep asking myself
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
And I know that you know what we do this over and over
But it's always been you that I'm running to over and over
Back to us too
Why you, why you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
And I know that you know what we do this over and over
But it's always been you that I'm running to over and over
Back to us too
