Nothing On (But The Radio) (song)

## Nothing On (But The Radio)Song by Addison Rae

"**Nothing On (But The Radio)**" is the third track from Addison Rae's debut extended-play. It was released on August 18, 2023, through Sandlot and Atlantic.

## Background

The song was originally recorded by Lady Gaga during the early sessions for her *Born This Way* album. The song was then considered for her album *ARTPOP.* However, the song did not make it into the final cut. The song's demo was later leaked in 2012. ( listen)

In 2016, a snippet of an unknown singer's version of the song surfaced on YouTube. It later led people to speculate that the song may have been sold.

However, on January 21, 2022, a snippet of Addison’s version of the song surfaced online. Then on January 27, 2022, Addison was asked by The Hollywood Fix if she was the singer of the snippet, to which she replied, "It is."

The full demo of Addison's version later leaked on April 6, 2022. ( listen)

## Lyrics

* Final
* Demo (Lady Gaga's Version)

**[Verse 1]**

I'm calling 'cause I need you

You know I need you so desperately

You know how bad I can get

And you know how good I can be

I'm calling just to tell you

Get here, I'll make it all worth your while

I can make you some food

I know you'll be wearin' a smile

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've got nothing on, but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

I've got nothing on, but the radio

And my heart's playing the song that you like

You're with me tonight

**[Verse 2]**

You better get here soon

Or you know what I will do

Got too much time on my hands

Wait 'til I get my hands on you

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've got nothing on, but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

I've got nothing on, but the radio

And my heart's playing the song that you like (Ah)

You're with me tonight

**[Bridge]**

When you get here, boy, we can dance

You know what I want and it's no romance

I've turned all the lights down low

And we've got nothing on, but the radio

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've got nothing on, but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

I've got nothing on, but the radio

And my heart's playing the song that you like

I've got nothing on, but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight (You're with me tonight)

I've got nothing on, but the radio

And my heart's playing the song that you like

You're with me tonight

**[Verse 1]**

I'm calling 'cause I need you

You know I need you so desperately

You know how bad I can get

And you know how good I can be

I'm calling just to tell you

Get here, I'll make it all worth your while

I can make you some food

Boy, and then I can make you smile

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

I've got nothing on but the radio

And I'm tuned into your station tonight

You're with me tonight

**[Verse 2]**

You better get here soon

O-or you know what I will do

Got too much time on my hands

Wait 'til I get my hands on you

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

Nothing, nothing on but the radio

And I'm tuned into your station tonight

You're with me tonight

**[Bridge]**

When you get here, boy, we can dance

My hands in the back pockets of your pants

I've turned the lights down low

And I've got nothing on but the radio

**[Breakdown]**

Got too much time on my hands

Wait 'til I get my hands on you

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

I've got nothing on but the radio

And I'm tuned into your station tonight

With me tonight (oh-oh, nothing)

Nothing on but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

Nothing, nothing on but the radio

And I'm tuned into your station tonight

You're with me tonight

**[Break]**

Wait 'til I get my hands on you (oh-oh, nothing)

**[Chorus]**

Nothing on but the radio

And I've got nothing on for tonight

Nothing, nothing on but the radio

And I'm tuned into your station tonight

You're with me tonight
