Lyrics

Make-up reference appeals to the female

audience, creating a personalisation,and ability

to relate. We are also able to quickly understand the

song concept

Metaphorically explaining the relationship between her

and the song subject, emotionally trusting him;

tells us the story aiding our understanding.

romantic holiday reference, heightens the love theme.

You think I'm pretty without any make-up on

You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong

I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down

Before you met me, I was alright

But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life

Now every February you'll be my Valentine, Valentine

Let's go all the way tonight

No regrets, just love

We can dance until we die

You and I, we'll be young forever

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream

The way you turn me on, I can't sleep

Let's runaway and don't ever look back

Don't ever look back

Indirect reference to sex,appeals and creates an exclusive understanding to young adults, but also avoids being innapropriate for young children as they will be less likely to understand.

Reference to dancing, highlights how much energy they have, this will appeal to young audiences who can often relate to the hedonistic lifestyle.

An additional sexual reference, less subtle this time, suggests that sex is a common theme in modern day pop songs.

Rference to being young specifically 'teenagers' which is the target audience for this song.The song seems to be written from a teenage girls perspective, towards another young male-romance is a typical, popular theme.
