Up All Night Lyrics

[LIAM PAYNE:]
It feels like we've been living in fast-foward
Another moment passing by (U-up all night)
The party's ending but it's now o-ur never
Nobody's going home tonight (U-up all night)

[HARRY STYLES:]
Katy Perry's on replay, she's...

    Why do you find SEX in every single song????!!! Jeez
    It's about A PARTY, NOT ABOUT SEX!!!!
    P-A-R-T-Y!!!!
    OK?! -.-" my gosh...
    "Do it all with you" = Staying up all night on a party with her, not having sex with her!

    IT... IS... JUST... ABOUT... SEX???? NO! - P-A-R-T-Y-I-N-G!!! K????! -.-" -.-" -.-" -.-"

    of course its about sex, and the girls in the concerts know that, cuz you see them get excited when harry sings about 'going all the way' cuz the girls are only there cuz they fantasise about going all the way with these hot One direction boys and wish they could

    Look, everyones right! The songs mostly about partying, but there are sexual lines OBVIOUSLY. But who cares? They're all ages 18+, old enough to drink(atleast 18 in UK)-and do drink, and they've dated older women............ anyone ever think about that. They can sing about whatever the hell they want, and do whatever the hell they want * except have sex (they're banned lmao)*.

    Ok whatever people say it is NOT about SEX!!!! I will admit LWWY is about a one night stand but that is the ONLY song they have sung about that kind if thing. This is a happy song where they're single and want to have a good time just being carefree and maybe OTHER PEOPLE are going 'all the way' but they just want to find a girl to keep in touch with who would end up being 'the one'

    Sexxx. I mean, they're nineteen or something years old, of course they've got sex on the mind... Plus, really? You think "People going all the way, all the way," doesn't mean to third base? That's just stupid.

    Guys, You guys are agreeing... If it says People go all the way yeah all the way, that means they dont want to. if it says Dj got the floor too shake, it means everyones partying! How could they have sex at a party? ._. I mean they got no beds? do they bring a bed or somthin?

    I think it's just about them partying all night. That's my opinion. But if you interpret it differently, that's fine...

    Haha, If you went to their concert or have seen this song being sung on the DVD you would know that it is most likely about sex... or at least thats how Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson see it. Every time Harry would sing "People goin' all the way, yeah all the way" He would do a small hip thrusting motion with his left arm. (obvious Directioner here) And Louie on the other side of the stage would do a full on hup thrust to the crowd.
    Very amusing. Hahaha, I love them.<3

    Ppl going on all the way, Yeah all the Way.. PPL ! I just taught u a vocabulary word for all u little girls that didn't know this. Going all the way means having sex. (; Yep. Just deal with it. They're talking about sex. Who cares though? They're teenage boys! What the hell? Just cause they're famous or loved by many MANY girls means they can't sing about sex?

    Okay. Yes. There are some lyrics that suggest sex. Such as:

    "People going all the way, yeah all the way."

    "Don't even care about the table breaking, we only wanna have a laugh."

    However, I actually laughed out loud at the anon who said the line about "DJ's got the floor to shake" was about sex. False. Listen to the song, it says, "Katy Perry's on replay, on replay" right before. Therefore, it's not some tricky sexual reference. It's talking about the DJ getting people to dance and have a good time.

    Also, the "do it all with you" line, I never really thought of it as suggestive, considering that "it" could be taken any way. If you WANT it to be a song about getting laid at a party, that's what it is. It can also be a fun song about partying though.

    "People going all the way,yeah all the way"... okay that's pretty much what the song is about. Sex. Those that are in denial of that are clearly little girls who want it to be about a fucking party.
