On your way out, turn the lights out

Take your supermodels and your broken beer bottle.

Meaning
This is the Best is about a partying hard. A common first interpretation reflects the positive aspects of partying like getting "messed up" and "having the best time." The chorus further emphasizes these themes. The second interpretation is about the negative side of partying when things go too far. The song has an underlying tone of apathy towards the party with numerous references to not caring about what is happening. The last line of the chorus "drop me cause I can't let go" and the last line of the song "stop me cause I can't say no" are a plea for help against a total lack of self control. Both interpretations are valid. The song has a mix of upbeat melody and heavier bassline leaving it to the listener to decide for themselves.
