Lyrics[]

Unique (with Vocal Adrenaline):
Uh,
Let's go to the beach, (each)
Let's go get away
They (say)
What they gonna say
Have a drink (clink)
Found the Bud Light
Bad girls like me, is hard to come by

The Patrón, (own)
Let's go get it on
The zone, (own)
Yes I'm in the zone
Is it two, (three)
Leave a good tip
I'ma blow all my money and don't give two cents

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
I'm on the floor, floor
I love to dance
So give me more, more, 'til I can't stand
Get on the floor, floor
Like it's your last chance
If you want more, more
Then here I am

Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time

Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop...

Vocal Adrenaline (with Unique):
(Higher than any other!)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Higher than any other!)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Higher than any other!)

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
Jumped in my hooptie hooptie hoop
I own that
And I ain't paying my rent this month
I owe that

Unique:
But mack who you want, and mack who you like
That's our life, there's no end in sight

Vocal Adrenaline Boys:
Twinkle, twinkle little star

Unique:
Now everybody let me hear you say

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
Ray ray ray

Unique:
Now spend all your money cause

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
Today pay day

Unique:
And if you're a

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
G, you a G, G, G

Unique:
My name is Unique and you can

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
Call me Nicki
 
Get on the floor, floor
Like it's your last chance
If you want more, more
Then here I am

Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time

Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop...

Vocal Adrenaline (with Unique):
(Higher than any other!)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Higher than any other!)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Higher than any other!)

Unique:
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time

Unique with Vocal Adrenaline:
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop...

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohhhh-oh-oh-ohh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohhhh-oh-oh-ohh
(Higher than any other!)

Trivia[]

  • Some lyrics of the original version were changed in the Glee version due to explicit words.
  • When Unique sings: "My name is Unique but you can call me Nicki," it was originally supposed to be, "My name is Onika but you can call me Nicki," but was changed so that it would fit the character singing it.
  • This is the only time that a Nicki Minaj song is not used in a mash up.
  • At the beginning of the song, Mercedes gives two thumbs up to support Unique's performance.
  • Despite this song not charting, the original version of the song rose to a new peak of #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 the week this episode aired.
