"**Get Me Bodied**" is the second track from Beyoncé's second studio album, B'Day.

## Background

The song was written by Beyoncé, Swizz Beatz, Sean Garrett, Makeba Riddick, Angela Beyincé (Knowles's cousin) and Solange (Knowles's sister). It was produced by Swizz Beatz, Garrett and Knowles. "Get Me Bodied" is a moderate R&B, and bounce song, which displays influences of dance-pop, dancehall, and funk music. The lyrics of "Get Me Bodied" depict Beyoncé as the female protagonist going out an evening suitably dressed to make a lasting impression and get what she is looking for.

## Reception

"Get Me Bodied" and "Green Light" were planned to be released as the next two singles from B'Day. However, "Irreplaceable" was officially serviced as the album's second international and third single in the United States. Instead, "Get Me Bodied" was released as the sixth overall and final single in the United States, on July 10, 2007. The song received universal acclaim from music critics who praised its party sound and Beyoncé's vocals.  "Get Me Bodied" debuted on the US *Billboard* Hot 100 on May 26, 2007 at number ninety-eight.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1:]

Mission one

I'ma put this on

When he see me in the dress I'ma get me some (hey)

Mission two

Gotta make that call

Tell him get the bottles poppin' when they play my song (hey)

Mission three

Got my three best friends

Like we do it all the time we gonna do it again (hey)

Mission four

Got the vintage Rolls

Drop a couple hundreds tell him leave it at the door

[Pre-Chorus:]

I ain't worried doing me tonight

A little sweat ain't never hurt nobody

While you all standin' on the wall

I'm the one tonight

Getting bodied, getting bodied, getting bodied, getting bodied

Want my body

Won't you get me bodied

You want my body

Won't you get me bodied (hey)

[Chorus:]

Can you get me bodied

I wanna be myself tonight

Can you get me bodied

I wanna be myself tonight

Don't you see my body?

I want to let it out tonight

Wanna party, wanna dance, wanna be myself tonight, me bodied

[Verse 2:]

Mission five

Skip to the front of the line

Let me fix my hair up 'fore I go inside (hey)

Mission six

Gotta check these chicks

'Cause you know they gone block when I take these flicks (hey)

Mission seven

Gotta make my rounds

Given eyes to the guys now I think I found him (hey)

Mission eight

Now we conversate

And we can skip small talk let's get right to the chase (hey)

[Pre-Chorus]

You should see my body

I gotta know enough to know if you can get me bodied

I'm kinda tight, I'm feeling right enough to see somebody

I wanna let it off tonight

Wanna dance, wanna party wanna be myself tonight

[Chorus]

Baby all I want is to let it go

Ain't no worries, oh

We can dance all night

Get me bodied

That means come closer to me

While we grind to the beat

And your body's touching my body

All I need is to let it be

Ain't no worry, no

Boy dance with me

Feel my body

Don't stop just come closer to me

While we grind to the beat

With your body touching my body

Get somebody

Ain't no shame 'cause I gotta get mine

I swing my hair, kick off my shoes

Come her boy let me work on you

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
