Turn Me On (Feat. Nicki Minaj) Lyrics

Cover art for Turn Me On (Feat. Nicki Minaj) lyrics by David Guetta

The first time I heard this song I thought it was about drug use and getting clean. Drug and alcohol abuse can leave you feeling sick, alone, and dead inside. She needs the "doctor" (which she uses synonymously with 'savior') to save her life because she's "too young to die". She needs to feel alive again- to be "turned on" to a new kind of life.

This whole song actually reads like a prayer. It's a possible God illusion with the word 'savior' and a plea for Life.

Naturally, it would get no club or radio play if it couldn't also be seen as a song about sex, so it's somewhat ambiguous in that regard. But I'd like to think that Guetta and Minaj are above making another sleazy sex song.

Song Meaning

I think she needs to be in love to feel alive again. She wants someone to turn her on. Not being in love is like being dead.
