[Intro]
I'm ready...

[Verse 1: Jack Met & Ryan Met]
You're feeling good, you're feeling right
Across the floor, and I'm already losing my mind
Baby girl, looking fine
Watch you playing and playing and playing these guys
Catch my stare, little smile
Tell me that you're ready and you're feeling the vibe
Someday I'll be so damn sublime
We'll arrive behind a hashtag sign

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I won't forget you, but I may
Forget your name

[Chorus: AJR]
My lady
I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight, setting it on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark
My lady, I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight, setting it on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark

[Post-Chorus: AJR]
Are you ready?
I'm ready...

[Verse 2: Ryan Met]
Break me down, dirty jokes
Watch me dear, and say what you wanna know (Say what you wanna know)
Beauty lies, within the eyes
Of the beholder, I'll be holding you close all night

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I won't forget you, but I may
Forget your name

[Chorus: AJR]
My lady
I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight, setting it on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark
My lady, I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight, setting it on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark

[Post-Chorus: AJR]
Are you ready?
I'm ready...

[Bridge: Adam Met & Jack Met]
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down (Oh, oh, oh)
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down (Break me down now, break me down)
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I won't forget you, but I may
Forget your name

[Outro: Adam Met, Jack Met & All]
I'm ready...
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down (Oh, oh, oh)
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
Are you ready?

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
