Get Lucky Lyrics

[Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
Like the legend of the phoenix, huh
All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning, uh-huh
The force from the beginning
Look

[Pre-Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
We've come too far
To give up who we are
So let's raise the bar
And our cups to the stars

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
[Verse 2: Pharrell Williams]
The present has no ribbon
Your gift keeps on giving
What is this I'm feeling?
If you wanna leave, I'm with it, uh-huh

[Pre-Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
We've come too far
To give up who we are
So let's raise the bar
And our cups to the stars

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
[Bridge: Daft Punk]
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get back together
We're up all night to get (Let's get funked again)
We're up all night to get (Funky)
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky

[Pre-Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
We've come too far
To give up who we are
So let's raise the bar
And our cups to the stars

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky

[Outro: Pharrell Williams]
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The lead single from Daft Punk’s fourth and final studio album, Random Access Memories, “Get Lucky” was first teased in snippets on Saturday Night Live. It peaked in the top 3 in every country it charted in and, because of its performance in the United States, got the duo their first song to reach the top 10 on the Billboard charts. According to an interview with Pitchfork, the original version featured the Wurlitzer electronic piano, but because of the revisions, took 18 months to complete from start to finish.

Did Pharrell Williams have anything to do with the production of this song?
Genius Answer

When Pharrell is featured on a song, it is because of production. This is the exemption, however. Daft Punk does recognize The Neptunes as an inspiration, but Pharrell was used in “Get Lucky” and “Lose Yourself to Dance” as a voice of one of the greatest producers of modern times that could provide real soul vocals, rather than production, to Daft Punk’s throwback project.

What certifications has this track received?
Genius Answer

On May 12, 2023, “Get Lucky” was certified 8x multi-platinum by the RIAA.
