Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Flip a switch, turn up the lightnin'
Get it right, show 'em how it's done
Freak it up, no matter how you dress that song
Girl, you know, you got a number one
Go with it, you got 'em where you want 'em
Drop the beat, they need to hear your sound
Play it up, it's comin' down to you right now
[Chorus]
They wanna, know, know, know
Your name, name, name
They want the girl, girl, girl
With game, game, game
And when they, look, look, look
Your way, way, way
You're gonna make (Make) make (Make)
Make 'em do a double take
Make 'em do a double take
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
This could be an overnight sensation
You and me, tearin' up the floor
Let it go, this party’s up to you right now
[Chorus]
They wanna, know, know, know
Your name, name, name
They want the girl, girl, girl
With game, game, game
And when they look, look, look
Your way, way, way
You're gonna make (Make) make (Make)
Make 'em do a double take
Know, know, know
Your name, name, name
They want the girl, girl, girl
With game, game, game
And when they, look, look, look
Your way, way, way
You're gonna make (make) make (make)
Make 'em do a double take
Make 'em do a double take, uh
[Bridge]
Come on
[Chorus]
They wanna, know, know, know
Your name, name, name
They want the girl, girl, girl
With game, game, game
And when they look, look, look
Your way, way, way
You're gonna make (Make) make (Make)
Make 'em do a double take
They wanna, know, know, know
Your name, name, name
They want the girl, girl, girl
With game, game, game
And when they look, look, look
Your way, way, way
You're gonna make (Make) make (Make)
Make 'em do a double take
Trivia[]
- This is the second song in the series that was sung.
- This is the first song in the series written by Ally. However, it is not the first song that Ally has written both on-screen and off-screen, due to the fact that she wrote "The Butterfly Song" at age 5.
- Originally written by Ally, it was a slow song. Austin took it, however, and revamped it to more of a pop-song.
- The song was also sampled in Shiny Money's hit song Trash Talka in the episode Tickets & Trashbags.
- Austin revamped this song into "A Chocolate Milkshake" in the episode Diners & Daters while working at Melody Diner.
- R5, Ross Lynch's family band, performed this song on their 2012 mini tour.
- When Ally was singing the song in her Practice Room the lyrics were: "You Don't Know, Know, Know; My Name, Name, Name.... I'm Gonna Make, Make, Make You Do A Double Take." But when Austin performed it he changed the lyrics to: "They Wanna Know, Know, Know; Your Name, Name, Name... You're Gonna Make, Make, Make, Make, Make 'Em Do A Double Take." This might suggest that he's still talking about Ally.
