The Business

Tiësto Tiësto

Dancing Through the Urgency of Life

Tiësto's 'The Business' is a pulsating electronic dance track that combines the energy of dance music with the narrative of making a decisive move in a relationship or life situation. The lyrics repeatedly urge to 'get down to business,' which metaphorically suggests taking action, making a commitment, or addressing something important without further delay. The song's protagonist seems to be speaking to a partner, indicating that they've had many nights together, but now it's time to make something more significant out of their relationship.

The mention of 'a million, million nights just like this' implies a sense of urgency and the desire for change. The protagonist is tired of the status quo and wants to move forward, which is a common theme in many people's lives where comfort and routine can lead to stagnation. The line 'Mama, please don't worry 'bout me' suggests a reassurance to a loved one that the decision to change is a positive step and that the protagonist is ready to listen to their heart and possibly go against the advice of friends who suggest leaving the situation.

The song also touches on the theme of dreams and the necessity of change to achieve them. 'Dreams we have don't ever fall away / We can't live 'em if we stay the same' speaks to the idea that to realize one's dreams, change is inevitable. Tiësto, known for his ability to create anthemic dance tracks, uses 'The Business' to inspire listeners to take action in their lives, whether it's in love, career, or personal growth, and to dance through the challenges with determination and a beat that keeps them moving forward.
