A clever way to blend Miranda Rights with the lyrics of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name.” When someone is under arrest, anything they say can be held against them in the court of law. When you’re, um, held against someone in the bedroom, you should (hopefully) only say one name, the name of your partner.
Just in case you forgot his name, here it is. Now you have no excuse to say anyone else’s.
This lyric could also be saying that if this girl name-drops him it will negatively affect her because he considers himself “bad news”.

They put their faith in catchy music like Fall Out Boy’s breakout single “Sugar We’re Going Down,”, which is referenced here.
We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we’re going down swinging
