Carly Rae Jepsen - Making The Most Of The Night Lyrics






You and me, we've been hanging around for the longest time
I know when you're down, know what you need to get you high
Top down, like the wind through your hair on a summer's night
Outside, all of your fears, leave them behind

Baby I'm speeding and red lights are run
What I got you need it, and I'll run to your side
When your heart is bleeding, I'm coming to get you

I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night

Eyes wide, like you've never seen the ocean never seen the tides
No hope, now you're seeing things that you'd lost sight of
Taking off, got your hands in the air and you're feeling alright
Gold vines, glistening on my skin for you

Baby I'm speeding and red lights are run
What I got you need it, and I'll run to your side
When your heart is bleeding, I'm coming to get you

I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night

Baby take my hand now, don't you cry
I won't let you sleep, I won't let you hide
No more tears, don't waste another day
Go on and fight, don't lay down to die
Come on get up, you'll make it through okay
Come on get up, don't waste another day

I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night
I know you've had a rough time
Here I've come to hijack you (hijack you), I love you while
Making the most of the night

Carly Rae Jepsen Making The Most Of The Night Comments
  1. C.... M....

    can you believe carly rae jepsen invented the night with this song?? her power, wow.

  2. J.... D....

    Sia's version was much better

    J.... D....

    This is still good though ;)

  3. T.... L....

    Love this untill 2019!!!

  4. B.... G....

    Is this song about a drug?

  5. p.... ....

    This came on Walmart's radio. Don't know how I missed this song and how it came out and I never heard it all this time. I love it. It sounds like a Dream/PYT song from 2000. Should've been a Billboard chart topper.

  6. A.... M....

    I think this album represents the most pure pop art. Underestimated, although.

  7. �.... ....

    スコッ

  8. N.... ....

    Cringe 💔

  9. A.... R....

    great song 💝👍💝

  10. W.... I....

    This track transports me to a church façade at midnight, trying to mend my heartbreaks all alone

  11. T.... J....

    I heard heavy metal guy from a podcast talking about how this album was complete pop music perfection in a way that most modern radio shite hasn't been in decades and man was he right. By the time I came up to this song I was sold on the album. When a guy who can appreciate good growls and heavy guitar riffs tells you there's this woman who has made an incredible pop album I tend to listen.

    T.... J....

    curious to who said that... wait until you discover Devin Townsend "Supercrush" or "Grace", prepare the diapers

  12. a.... ....

    I kinda imagine this as an anime ending ^^

  13. T.... N....

    cant wait to see this set live in SF. i think this album is already a 10/10 but somehow i know she will top herself live. love you car car <3

  14. H.... F....

    I don't know why i like this music...

  15. S.... V....

    I hope Carly is having a good day today

  16. J.... D....

    this song is literally about Dr. Jekyll and Hyde

  17. A.... x....

    Pop perfection, literally pop perfection

  18. c.... i....

    Love this! What is the meaning of hijack tho?!

  19. S.... G....

    This...is...soooo....beautifull (sob),(sob) . I don't know how to describe it😭😭

  20. A.... R....

    Senza ombra di dubbio la miglior cantante che abbia mai sentito

  21. �.... �....

    Its Sia and Carly

    Yes

  22. K.... A....

    WHEW, THE MEMORIES

  23. 4.... G....

    Carly × Sia = ❤🔥

    love them both❤

  24. �.... ....

    It's a shame that Sia's cover disappeared. Every time i hear this song, i think of Sia singing with the same instrument.

  25. P.... F....

    I really want a mashup of both Sia and Carly Rae Jepsen singing this

  26. s.... ....

    Queen of making the most of the night

  27. �.... ....

    씨발 씨아가 부른거 어디감??

  28. D.... ....

    damn sia's cover is so much better than this.. >:(

  29. r.... ....

    she came here to hijack your wigs

  30. M.... M....

    Best part: 0:41

    M.... M....

    Also, the style of singing at that section sounds very similar to Sia's style (who also sings this song).

  31. q.... ....

    Only recently discovered this song - it's amazing

  32. C.... Y....

    Any TK Maxx sales assistants here? Lol they play this in store

  33. S.... S....

    그저 갓갓갓갓갓갓갓갓갓갓갓
    So great

  34. M.... ....

    This is my favorite song on Emotion!

  35. A.... s....

    i've heard so much time this song by i'd rather sia´s one, she wrote it.. carly only bought it like riana did, kattyperry etc, when sia sings. she does it quit good, im freaking hooked on her, but it doesn´t mean that i love every single song no, actually yeah but sia sings this song and the all of her songs makes you fell something, but carly and others artis who bought songs from sia just sing without feelings coz it wasnt meant for them---

  36. s.... a....

    Hijack my weave

  37. L.... G....

    best track of emotion

  38. S.... D....

    I don't really like Sia voice but she's great singer. I love Carly voice since 1st. This songs is my fav song. E.MO.TION are the best album.

  39. h.... m....

    FUCK... every single song on this album is pop gold!!!!

  40. P.... S....

    This song reminds me of my boyfriend <333

  52. J.... 9....

    No se hablar ingles me vale, pero porque nunca suenan sus canciones de Carly por ningun lado? hay otros artista que para mi estan demasiado sobre valorados y los ponen porque segun ellos son ¨mejores¨ para mi Carly tiene buena musica me gustan casi todas sus canciones tienen un toque especial

    J.... 9....

    quiero Carly y Javiera Mena collaborar

    J.... 9....

    Me fascina la música de Carly y Sia,solo para pronunciar bien sus canciones voy aprender inglés.
    Hasta donde se cuesta bastante dinero la promocion de un disco o canción en radio, televisión u otros medios.

  53. J.... P....

    E°MO°TION >>>>>>>>>>1989...no...like seriously Emotion is way better 👑🔥💕

    J.... P....

    merna neither of you are listening to each other so if you’re gonna call her that, so are you😘

    J.... P....

    @merna calm your tits boo,you saying as if Taylor Swift has killed your mom or sumn

    J.... P....

    If only you bring this energy to supporting Carly, buy her shit, stream her songs etc... she wouldnt be a flop

    J.... P....

    I'm a big fan of Taylor but yes. Emotion is a masterpiece

  54. J.... P....

    Queen of Everything

  55. b.... g....

    Drew Carly Pamela I was looking at the news last night and saw the story on the police and they all looked liked kevin beachum.

  56. S.... K....

    Sia is THE GREATEST! <3

    S.... K....

    Amen! :3

    S.... K....

    U r exactly correct my good sir/ma'am. She is by far the best songstress of all time!! I love her and all of her song, she is perfect!

  57. M.... ....

    I love this song sooooo much!

  58. J.... H....

    The Chorus' Melody is same as Clap your Hands by Sia. She Wrote that too <3. Love them both.

    J.... H....

    Some people complain saying they want the old Sia back. It's cool to see that Sia's still able write music like this.

    J.... H....

    It was written by Sia and 4 more people.

    J.... H....

    Obviously it's not the same chorus, are you retarded?

  59. A.... O....

    Great song

  60. I.... S....

    I hate this song... cus' I can't help but smile like a complete bellend every time I hear it

  61. A.... L....

    Isso é um hino gospel mds

  62. p.... ....

    Major britney spears vibes!! LOVE THIS (and the whole record)

  63. J.... C....

    it's better with Sia...

  64. G.... M....

    Dona do album

  65. W.... L....

    This song is literal pop perfection

    W.... L....

    i agree

  66. S.... O....

    making mimosas tonight!

    S.... O....

    Oh my...

    S.... O....

    Siel Oren LMAO

    S.... O....

    Now i'll never hear the song the same way

  67. k.... ....

    For those of you who have noted that the chorus has a familiarity to it, it's probably because Sia has written a progression very similar to 'Making the most of the night' in 'Chandelier' - the "I'm holding on for dear life..." section is really close rhythmically and melodically to this, if slower. Sia has super distinctive melodic hooks I reckon.

  68. A.... S....

    Tryna party tonight, Carly.

    Forreals

    Hmu

  69. s.... ....

    i fuckin love this album

  70. P.... L....

    The people who think this song suits Sia better have not heard Carly sing this live. I love Sia too; they share writing credits for this song, and her version is competent, but truth be told, all the songs in Emotion fit Carly's voice the best.

    P.... L....

    +Paul Ayon (thegeekninja) Different opinions dude, deal with it.

    P.... L....

    I agree this song fits better for Carly, Sia can't keep the pace (in this song ffs, chill out ppl).

    P.... L....

    @Gabriel Marmanillo How the hell can't she keep up with the pace if she literally arranged the melody and tempo of the song?

    P.... L....

    SIA IS MUCH BETTER SINGER SIMPLY KNOWLEDGE WHO IS SUCCESSFUL UNTIL THE MOMENT IS NOT ABOUT SINGING A PRETTY SONG BUT SUCCESSFUL

  71. F.... I....

    I love this song in the voice of sia

  72. F.... ....

    I prefer Sia's version too.

    F.... ....

    +MrPablo079 fuck you

    F.... ....

    +Arthur Lima hahahahaha

    F.... ....

    +Arthur Lima God about time someone said it. Sia's fans are so annoying.

  73. A.... L....

    Destruidora socorr, que refrão é esse sonhor

    A.... L....

    Conhecia pela Sia. Na voz dela ficou ótima tbm!

  74. A.... A....

    Love this song especially when Carly singing it<3

  75. J.... ....

    I love Sia, but this song was meant for Carly. Sia didn't do the song justice imo.

    J.... ....

    +ItsJakeyyxD I think that Sia did right selling this music, Carly did a good job with it !

    J.... ....

    +Caique Rodrigues she didn't sell. They cowrote

  76. �.... �....

    Sia's version is MUCH MUCH better. Sorry.

    �.... �....

    @Angelo Franz oh, fuck you. I do what I want.

    �.... �....

    +Таня Таня, I am gonna say that tomorrow to my nasty colleague, thank you so much tanya-tanya :)

    �.... �....

    @Таня Таня you could stop diverting the attention from this song to you. bai gworl.

    �.... �....

    as you can see it didn't appear in Sia's this is acting so .... it belongs to Carly...

    �.... �....

    geez, show me where i wrote about authors' rights and who this song officially belongs to. Sia just made her demo-version of this song and i told that i like her performance more. Don't write me back please, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

  77. B.... F....

    this sounds like I overheard on Ellen

  78. A.... Z....

    WOW she did great singing a Sia song

  79. B.... G....

    de verdad? esto pareciera un plagio de la canción de Sia

    B.... G....

    +Benjamin Guzmán Sia y Carly escribieron esta canción pero fue Carly quien la tomó para su álbum.

    B.... G....

    +Benjamin Guzmán No, Sia escribió la canción y se la ofreció a Carly, la cual la acepto. Este tipo de cosas es normal en el mundo de la música y no debe confundirse con "plagio".

  80. V.... V....

    When was the last time one of her songs was on the radio 🙄

  81. L.... S....

    Did Sia wrote this song to her?, yeah, I think so...

    L.... S....

    Actually there are a version of SIA singing this song. It was here on youtube but it be erease.

    L.... S....

    Luciano Speranza I've been repeating this song for a while now and I am loving it. What's more is that I come to know Sia wrote it with her. Thanks for the info. xoxo

    L.... S....

    Yes...but Sia's version is better than her

    L.... S....

    "Wrote this song to her'?
    Sorry I'm unaware of what you're trying to say
    Edit: Not trying to criticize just genuinely curious

    L.... S....

    @Matt fox
    Nice 👌

  82. H.... H....

    Here for Sia. Great tune, this artist not bad

    H.... H....

    +Hoani Kepa here for Sia too. amazing song, hope she kept it, but I like this artist too. so, well deserved

  83. H.... H....

    THE FUCK WHERE HAVE THIS ALBUM BEEN ALL MY LIFE FUCK

    H.... H....

    Lol, this album is only year and a half old.

  84. D.... C....

    chorus reminds me of chvrches songs... and thats a really really good thing

  85. A.... M....

    Best Album EVER!!

    A.... M....

    Just discovering this album in 2019 and I can't believe it wasn't WAY more popular. Actual best album ever!

  86. A.... Z....

    Hot song, hot girl.

  87. S.... S....

    Aslamo Alikum, peace and blessings of God be upon all of you. We are all brothers and sisters and children of one man Adam and one woman Eve. The beautiful girls and guys in videos are nothing but our beloved sisters and brothers. May God forgive them and all our brothers and sisters around the world. May God unite all of us in His love and mercy and in His obedience. If we will be thankful to God and obey Him, this world will become a paradise. And on Day of Judgment, God will give us even a bigger paradise so beautiful and lovely that we cannot imagine where all of us will live in joy and pleasure forever. Please never forget to say many thanks to God and praise Him all your days and nights and ask for His forgiveness all the time. Ameen. Jazak Allah. :)

  88. C.... B....

    I LIVEEE for the chorus!!

  89. R.... d....

    I thought I was the only one who felt this chorus so familiar.
    It is nostalgic.

  90. D.... B....

    u must be millenials cause this chorus is pure 90s pop, so catchy, so melodic. great song! :3

    D.... B....

    +Diego Balseca i love this feeling

    D.... B....

    hell yes! I love her 90s vibe (she's a millenial too!)

    D.... B....

    +Diego Balseca correction: it's 80s pop. thus the album cover with its style, colors and fonts... specially the sweater she's wearing. also special note to the songs with the saxophone solos. also very 80s

  91. �.... ....

    Really love this song!!!!!!!!!

  92. p.... t....

    c'est un titre plus dance ! ça change mais c'est efficace.

  93. K.... ....

    Carly, we need your lawyers to meet me and my my associate. You've stolen our song and we demand retribution. You wont get away with this. Check my account to see the original posted over a year ago.

  94. s.... ....

    As far as the chorus sounding familiar...maybe Bang My Head by David Guetta and Sia? Sia helped write this song, so I'm pretty sure it sounds like a Sia song...

    s.... ....

    +sanosenso sia did write this song so that could be why

  95. G.... C....

    This song is litareally everything. Carly take my money.

    G.... C....

    (take my keys)

    G.... C....

    Rather Sia take my money cuz she wrote it

    G.... C....

    Lexa #Clexa She co-wrote it with Carly

    G.... C....

    In any case Jepsen sang it waaaayyyy better!!🎧 #HatersBackOff

    G.... C....

    take my money...



    take my keys
    take this car through the drive through please

  96. W.... ....

    Fuck, that chorus sounds really familiar. I'd say Vocaloid, but I don't think all these commenters listen to that shit. WHAT IS IT SOMEONE PLEASE

    W.... ....

    +WaddleBuff I love vocaloid but I don't know any song of vocaloid like that. Or I'm not remembering. Oh, and this song is written by Sia. Maybe this can help you. lol

    W.... ....

    It sounds a bit like the chorus of Sia's Clap Your Hands

    W.... ....

    The instrumental actually does sound similar to Magnet.
