Nightshift
About the song
The song “Nightshift” by Tia Tia is all about late-night energy, desire, and keeping things exciting and spontaneous. It’s playful, bold, and full of confidence. The lyrics talk about a relationship that doesn’t need labels, it’s fun, it’s electric, and it works best after dark.
Tia Tia repeats “pick it up” throughout the song, showing urgency and passion like, she wants the other person to respond right away, no games. The “night shift” isn’t about work; it’s a time when feelings get stronger and limits disappear. That’s when the connection feels real, thrilling, and even addictive — like something a doctor would prescribe.
There’s a mix of teasing and honesty. She doesn’t want the polite version of love; she wants intensity and honesty. The “high” she mentions isn’t just physical it’s the rush that comes from being with someone who matches her energy.
Lyrics
I be on that night shift, night shift, yeah
No need to define it, define it, yeah
When it’s on the side, it’s exciting, oh
When I call you
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Doing it right, doing it right
I want a high to coincide
Don’t be polite, I don’t mind it
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights
I want a high doctor prescribed
Makin’ you mine for the night, yeah, (oh-oh)
Run it, run it, run it back, run it back
Oh, I love it when we do like that, do like that
(Oh) like it, love it, that’s a fact, that’s a fact
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
I will be on that night shift, night shift, yeah
No need to define it, define it, yeah
When it’s on the side, it’s exciting, oh
When I call you
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Doing it right, doing it right
I want a high to coincide
Don’t be polite, I don’t mind it
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights
I want a high doctor prescribed
Like makin’ you mine for the night, yeah (oh-oh)
Run it, run it, run it back, run it back
Oh, I love it when we do like that, do like that
(Oh) like it, love it, that’s a fact, that’s a fact
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
I be on that night shift, night shift, yeah (night shift, ooh)
No need to define it, define it, yeah (define it)
When it’s on the side, it’s exciting, oh (it’s exciting)
When I call you
Pick it up, pick it up (you pick it up), pick it up, pick it up (you pick it up)
Pick it up, pick it up (you pick it up), pick it up, pick it up (you pick it up)
Uh, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up (you pick it up)
(Uh) you pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up (night shift)
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up (night shift)
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
