About This Track

'Celebration' frames seduction as festivity. Tank builds the track around the metaphor of a private party, one where intimacy becomes the occasion itself. The production sits in that comfortable mid-tempo zone where R&B can breathe; verses move with conversational ease, and the chorus settles into a hook that repeats its central invitation without strain. Drake appears on the final verse, shifting the tone slightly toward reflection, speaking to constancy and reassurance beneath the surface pleasure. The song trades in familiar territory for the genre: desire articulated through gift-giving, holidays, fireworks. Tank keeps the execution measured, letting the repetition of "let's celebrate" do the work rather than reaching for intensity. It is straightforward in its aims and untroubled by subtlety, which suits the material.

"Celebration" is a track by Tank, from the album Now or Never, released 13th December 2010. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Celebration

[Intro: Tank]

Now it's a celebration

Oh girl let's celebrate

Yeah it's a celebration

Oh girl let's celebrate

[Verse 1: Tank]

Baby tonight I'm yours

Come on and unwrap your gift

No you can't find it in stores

It's some tailor made for you kind of shit

[Pre- Chorus: Tank]

It's like oooooooh

You don't wanna miss this

Feels like it's Christmas

It's like oooooooh

Yeah it's a holiday but I'm open for business

[Chorus: Tank]

Got a bottle of that Rose

Baby we gon' celebrate

Make you feel like it's your birthday

Baby girl let's celebrate

Private after-party

I can't wait to celebrate

All up on your body

Baby girl let's celebrate

It's like the fourth of July

In between your thighs

It's like fireworks

Just light up the sky

Don't need no reservation

You're my invitation

To this love making

This a celebration

[Verse 2: Tank]

Baby let's close the door

I'm 'bout to teach you this sex education

Since you passed every course

Hats off to your graduation

[Pre- Chorus: Tank]

It's like oooooooh

You don't wanna miss this

Feels like it's Christmas

It's like oooooooh

Yeah it's a holiday but I'm open for business

[Chorus: Tank]

Got a bottle of that Rose

Baby we gon' celebrate

Make you feel like it's your birthday

Baby girl let's celebrate

Private after-party

I can't wait to celebrate

All up on your body

Baby girl let's celebrate

It's like the fourth of July

In between your thighs

It's like fireworks

Just light up the sky

Don't need no reservation

You're my invitation

To this love making

This a celebration

[Verse 3: Drake]

How'd I do? How'd I do?

Baby tell me how you feel

They say real girls ain't never perfect

Perfect girls ain't real

I'd agree but I guess we'll just wait and see

'Cause I swear you act like perfect is the only way to be

N-N-Nothing matters 'cept for you

Don't let no one out here blind you

Don't remember why you love me

Please allow me to remind you

And I know you left me once

But I came right back to find you

Even though I like being in your past

You got a bright future behind you

Oh, damn, oh

Girl I must admit I look amazing next to you

Girl you crazy, sexy, cool

And you stayed obsessed with school

But that's good

Cause you know that them grades impress me too

And my free days are just for you

But I don't get many

It's like every time we spend time

It feels like the first time

'Cause we never spend enough time

You catch me at the worst time

It ain't like you're not worth time

Just I don't control it

But tonight I made it happen, just to celebrate the moment

Give it up one time

[Bridge: Tank]

Ohhhhhhh

I just wanna celebrate the night with you

I bought some party favors, I'm a light it up if that's alright with you

How you feeling now?

Tryna lay it down

We could count it down

Five, four, three, two, one

[Pre- Chorus: Tank]

It's like oooooooh

You don't wanna miss this

Feels like it's Christmas

It's like oooooooh

Yeah it's a holiday but I'm open for business

[Chorus: Tank]

Got a bottle of that Rose

Baby we gon' celebrate

Make you feel like it's your birthday

Baby girl let's celebrate

Private after-party

I can't wait to celebrate

All up on your body

Baby girl let's celebrate

It's like the fourth of July

In between your thighs

It's like fireworks

Just light up the sky

Don't need no reservation

You're my invitation

To this love making

This a celebration

[Outro: Drake]

Give it up one time

One time

Ce-Ce-Celebrate the moment

Give it up one time
