A contemporary uptempo pop song by maroon 5 featuring a seductive solo by Christina Aguilera. Song is about guy and girl. The guy is laid back, easy going, but knows what he wants, and how to get there. He does a proverbial dance with the girl about control - because she appears to want it. He plays along with her desire to be in control - plays by her rules, lets her feel like she has it, even though underneath it all he is really the one in control, and both he and the girl know this. He waits patiently because he knows she will eventually acquiesce, and this is when he will step in more aggressively. So, he lets her take control and drive for a while, but then he takes over "shifts gears" and "takes it from here."
The girl's "secret" is her suppressed desire to be controlled or "owned" by the boy for the night - which would allow her to be out of control and free - thus experiencing a heightened level of sexual ecstasy that she's never known. So, she tells the guy what she likes and how she wants to be touched, possibly even restrained, then, she lets go. "Nobody else can see this" because she's embarrassed that her desires seemingly contradict the conservative way in which she lives her life.
