"**Begging Me**" is a song performed by British singer and songwriter Florrie, and it serves as the lead single of her second extended play *Experiments*. The song was released to digital platforms on April 28, 2011, two months prior to its parent record. A remix made by Fred Falke was released as a companion single on December 19, 2011.

## Composition

"Begging Me" is a pop-rock inflicted song, set at a moderately fast tempo of 142 beats per minute at the first chorus and shifting to 143 beats per minute since the first verse and through the rest of the track. It has a length of four minutes and four seconds. Lyrically, it shows the singer trying to make her partner understand she is the one who decides where their relationship is going to.

## Music video

The song received a music video on 25 April 2011, three days prior to its proper release as the lead single of *Experiments*. It was produced by Jonny Knight and directed by Price James. The visual features Florrie performing the song in front of a band; in different moments of the video, the vision appears to be blurry at the borders.

## Reception

"Begging Me" was generally well received by public, and was considered as one of the highlights of the extended play. Arjan Writes praised the song's "fun" nature, stating that it "is dominated by its bouncy bass and singalong chorus that contrasts nicely with the indie groove of the song's verses". Also, fans of the singer who bought the album in Amazon commented that the song would "infect you", and that it was "highly recommendable [to acquire]".

## Lyrics

My heart's beating

Is it serious?

You're begging me, begging me

I know I got you on the second beat

Oh oh oh oh

But baby back to me

I need to get you maybe baby back a beat

We'll see if you can heat it up and handle that

Go back and get your hat on baby

Hit the track, take that

We're on a mission and it's outta whack, that's a fact

Mission impossible

And that is that, that is that

You gotta listen up

'Cause I'm writing the rules yeah

I'll tell you where to begin

You think that you're Mr. Know-It-All

Yeah but tonight you better think again

You gotta listen up boy

I'm not trying to fool ya

I'll tell you where to begin

You think that you're coming back for more

Yeah but tonight you better think again

The rhythm and the bass, up in my face

But you're block-block-blocking the floor

I'm running out of time, don't need no lines

From a d-d-d-dinosaur

You're begging me, begging me

I know I got you on the second beat

Oh oh oh oh

But baby back to me

I need to get you maybe baby back a beat

We'll see if you can heat it up and handle that

Go back and get your hat on baby

Hit the track, take that

We're on a mission and it's outta whack, that's a fact

Mission impossible

And that is that, that is that

I gotta a lot of gadgets, I gotta a lot of you

And if you-you wanna grab it

Go and break all the rules

I gotta a lot of gadgets, I gotta a lot of burn

So come on learn

I know I want you to

The rhythm and the bass, up in my face

But you're block-block-blocking the floor

I'm running out of time, don't need no lines

From a d-d-d-dinosaur

You're begging me, begging me

I know I got you on the second beat

Oh oh oh oh

But baby back to me

I need to get you maybe baby back a beat

We'll see if you can heat it up and handle that

Go back and get your hat on baby

Hit the track, take that

We're on a mission and it's outta whack, that's a fact

Mission impossible

And that is that, that is that

It's a

Mission impossible

Mission impossible

Mission impossible

Mission impossible

Oooooh

Oooooh

You're begging me, begging me

I know I got you on the second beat

Oh oh oh oh

But baby back to me

I need to get you maybe baby back a beat

We'll see if you can heat it up and handle that

Go back and get your hat on baby

Hit the track, take that

We're on a mission and it's outta whack, that's a fact

Mission impossible

And that is that, that is that

I, I, I won't lose the battle

Not in love, not in war

'Cause I got something to fight for

I, I, I won't lose the battle

Not in love, not in war

'Cause I got something to fight for
