So, that's interesting... he said Yoyo is about resisting heartbreak. Btw love how he leaned towards the camera then and said, that's what most pop songs are about, like he was telling us a secret - idk why that particular bit of the live felt so special to me, I guess it was the emotion in his voice... well, also where he thanked the people who came to his shows in the US and Canada, I think I just missed this while he's not posting much except for promo stuff, to see how he's feeling about certain things. That makes me feel more connected to him. Anyway, I'm digressing... I'm trying to make sense of how other people toying with your emotions can be resisting to heartbreak. Normally you'd say, don't play with my emotions, but he's saying do play with them? Ok it looks like Mika to turn things around to the opposite of what others would say, lol! I guess it might become clearer when we get the lyrics. I hope he'll release the lyric video along with the song next Friday, so we won't have to guess that much. Well, if you let someone toy with you, you will be open to heartbreak… but you will also be open to the potential of something equally as (or even more) beautiful. So I would say it’s about taking your walls down and go along with the flow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that's an interesting point of view, I hadn't seen it that way but thought more of something like Toy Boy, "if you come a little close, I'm gonna pull your hair". But maybe you're right... tho it could also be the opposite, pushing others away before they can hurt you, to avoid heartbreak. Like in Modern Times, "why do you leave my bed before love begins" (don't remember the exact words) - maybe it is, or was, his reaction to that? I was wondering if maybe the album tells his story, and this is about 16yo Mika - as he said on the live, that he wanted it to feel like you're 16 again? And the next songs would be the path from there to now? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Don't rely too much on these, azlyrics are very often wrong (I've tried to get them to correct other Mika lyrics but they won't do it). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I absolutely love this song! Truly meant for dancing, running, biking... anything that requires that steady beat beat beat... So we finally have the lyric video. Weirdly, the video Karin posted above is not it. Here it is: Just a few fine-tuning changes to the lyrics we already had -- the nuances actually make a lot of difference. Take out all my sorrow Put that on the beat Take out all my sorrow Put it on repeat I know by tomorrow You'll come back to me If you're not back tomorrow What will be will be Be will be On the beat On repeat On the beat On repeat On the beat On repeat On the beat On the beat Take me high high high Take me low low low Pull me in in in Let me go go go Say good bye bye bye Say hello lo lo Treat my heart heart heart Like a yo-yo Treat me like a yo-yo (x8) I'm not goin' nowhere I'm where I'm meant to be So I'm not going nowhere You run back to me I’ll be here til tomorrow Then you’re gonna see Your turn to do the dancing Now you can dance for me On the beat On repeat On the beat On repeat On the beat On repeat On the beat On the beat Take me high high high Take me low low low Pull me in in in Let me go go go Say good bye bye bye Say hello lo lo Treat my heart heart heart Like a yo-yo Treat me like a yo yo (x8) Da-da-da, da-da-da da-da da-da-da On repeat On the beat On repeat On the beat On repeat On the beat On the beat 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeccaStardust Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I really like this song I don't normally listen to dance music but I'm enjoying it My only issue is that I can't imagine it live stream but I'm sure Mika will prove me wrong Saturday 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked at midnight on YouTube - it was only this version without lyrics. Now we can watch the lyrics version only. So it looks like they changed it or hidden the first version (Link posted by Karin is working). It was hard for me to fall asleep with this song in my head. And for more Mika on television for 3 hours! What a day Edited May 13, 2022 by Anna Ko Kolkowska 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the tattoo shirt and maybe he will also wear the woven crown for the medley (I assume). I can imagine that he will do the new single first, suited up, maybe with dancers and a DJ table. Then the stage will transform, dancers and DJ go away and he will shine the way we have seen him during the Rite of Spring tour. Maybe the cape will make an appearance? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being dependent on someone else's love but being in your place and staying there. So I guess it's more like "you can treat me like you want, I'll stay strong" than "please treat me like a yoyo". 5 hours ago, dcdeb said: What will be will be We will be On the beat From the video it looks like it's just repeated "be will be", not "we will be"? A lot of the lyrics sound very similar to each other and actually that's pretty smart because that way no one will notice if he messes them up, it just sounds the same.

teenagedreamer98 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Listened to this song three times this morning already! Needless to say, I love it and it's currently stuck in my head. To me, this is one of the most mainstream-sounding songs Mika has released, but of course it still has that special Mika touch. I love the lyric "take out all my sorrow, put it on the beat". As someone who has used music to cope with difficult times over the past couple of years, I deeply relate to this. The song also has a summery sound and a very nightclub-friendly vibe. Can't wait to see the music video! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! I also thought he was begging to be treated like a yoyo, and I was surprised - why would he like to be treated like that? The song is cute. I love that he's still playing with high notes a bit - and it seems that his voice is the highest when he sings "low, low, low", this might be intentional or maybe I didn't pay close attention. Anyway, I need to listen to it a couple more times! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I got it wrong about this song having another voice in it 😅 I'm glad it's just Mika though, I absolutely love it! Got up super early to download it straight away, and kept it on repeat for quite a while too! 😁 (neighbours are gonna hate me ) Really makes me want to dance too, I miss proper club dancing from my Uni days... This reminds me of those times! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll eventually come running back to me, and then it will be YOUR and I'll treat YOU like a yo-yo." That little preposition -- you can dance FOR me, not WITH me -- makes such a big difference in the meaning to me. Yes, I guess it is "be will be" -- I originally heard "we will be" but listening again I do hear BE. And you know before the lyric video came out, I was listening over and over and thought I heard "repeat" now and then, but couldn't be sure. Glad the lyric video confirmed that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
