    I think this song has a lot to do with Michael's introduction to the club scene in NYC in the mid to late 70s. He was obsessed with Studio 54 and all of its overindulgences. This song is likely linked to that new sense of sexual freedom that Michael was experiencing during that time.

    The song is about stepping out of your comfort zone and having fun. This means "Live life off the wall'
