Down Lyrics

[Intro: Jay Sean]
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Down, down
Even if the sky is fallin' down
Down, down (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1: Jay Sean]
You oughta know
Tonight is the night to let it go
Put on a show
I wanna see how you lose control

[Pre-Chorus: Jay Sean]
So leave it behind
'Cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape

[Chorus: Jay Sean]
So baby, don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is fallin' down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
(Down, down)
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
(Down, down)
Even if the sky is fallin' down
[Verse 2: Jay Sean]
Just let it be
Come on and bring your body next to me
I'll take you away, hey
Turn this place into our private getaway

[Pre-Chorus: Jay Sean]
So leave it behind
'Cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape
So why don't we run away?

[Chorus: Jay Sean, with Lil Wayne]
Baby, don't worry (Away)
You are my only (Oh-ooh)
You won't be lonely (No)
Even if the sky is fallin' down
You'll be my only (Yeah)
No need to worry (No)
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
(Down, down) Woo!
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
(Down, down) Mmh, you down?
Even if the sky is fallin' down

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

Thanks to his Cash Money connections, British singer Jay Sean snags a coveted Lil Wayne feature on this 2009 single. Producers J-Remy and Bobby Bass concoct a surging dance anthem, and Sean provides an easily repeatable chorus.

The track is about both the Sean’s ability to make her happy when she’s sad, and her loyalty. Is she willing to stick around when things go bad? The music video seems to suggest things will never go bad for Sean, although he’d never again scale these heights.

That’s not surprising, consider the track shot to the top of the US Billboard 100 and made it to number 1 in Australia, Slovakia, and the UK. It charted worldwide, and ended up being certified 6 times platinum in the US. This rendered him “The Most Successful Male UK Urban artist in US chart history.”

Genius Answer

The news was on, everything was depressing, and we were like, ‘Look at this, man — everything’s so down in the dumps. Why don’t we write a song to take everyone’s mind away from being down?'

— Jay Sean, Billboard, 2009
