[Intro: Mike Posner]
Once I throw on this, once I throw on this, it's over, girl
Once I throw on this, once I throw on this, it's over, girl

[Verse 1: Mike Posner]
I hear you knock, knock, knock, baby, come on up
I hope you got, got, got something in yo' cup
'Cause I'm three shots deep and I ain't tryna sleep
Get your Redbull on 'cause I'm ready

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been playin' hard-to-get with me all night
And we both know exactly what you want, right?
Don't tell me what you wan' do
Tell me what you gon' do
Whatchu gon' do?

[Chorus: Mike Posner]
Once I throw on this bow-chicka-wow-wow
Whatchu gonna say?
You act like you gon' leave, but I know that you gon' stay
Break it down, dicky-down-down
Girl, don't even play
Once I set the mood right, I'ma make it sound like

[Post-Chorus]
I'ma make it sound like

[Verse 2: Mike Posner]
Are you tryna make me wait, wait, wait 'til the second day?
But I can't, can't, can't even contemplate
Waiting one more minute, lemme jump in it
I brought you flowers and a teddy

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been playin' hard-to-get with me all night
And we both know exactly what you want, right?
Don't tell me what you wan' do
Tell me what you gon' do
Whatchu gon' do?

[Chorus: Mike Posner]
Once I throw on this bow-chicka-wow-wow
Whatchu gonna say?
You act like you gon' leave, but I know that you gon' stay
Break it down, dicky-down-down
Girl, don't even play
Once I set the mood right, I'ma make it sound like

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I can make it sound like

[Bridge: Mike Posner]
Now, I ain't even gotta say shit
To make you feel alive, girl, you know you like that
Say, I ain't even gotta say shit
To make you feel alive, girl, you know you like that

[Chorus: Mike Posner]
Once I throw on this bow-chicka-wow-wow
Whatchu gonna say?
You act like you gon' leave, but I know that you gon' stay
Break it down, dicky-down-down
Girl, don't even play
Once I set the mood right, I'ma make it sound like

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'ma, yeah, I'ma make it

[Outro]
Once I throw on this, once I throw on this, it's over, girl
Once I throw on this, once I throw on this, it's over, girl
Once I throw on this, once I throw on this, it's over, girl...

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Posner has never shied away from telling folks where he’s from. Growing up with childhood friend Big Sean, music quickly grabbed his attention. Garnering fame in August of 2010 with 31 Minutes to Take Off, he has quickly established himself as not only a singer of pop music but also a songwriter to big names.

He first gained attention in the music world after his dorm room written track that he wrote while attending Duke hit airways via YouTube. He quickly began releasing new material and his mixtapes held top spots on iTunes U charts for several weeks.

He has worked on two sophomore albums in Skyhigh and Pages that ended up being shelved, but he has in the meantime written for stars such as Labrinth, Justin Bieber, as well as Maroon 5, and Nick Jonas.
