About I Fell in Love with the DJ

"I Fell In Love With the DJ" is a song by Australian recording artist Che'Nelle from her debut studio album, Things Happen for a Reason (2007). The song was chosen as her first commercial single release. The song was originally written and recorded by Che'Nelle. The artist gained attention of US record producers and later signed an album deal. "I Fell In Love With the DJ" was remixed ahead of its release and Jamaican rapper Cham's vocals added. The song samples the 2005 song "Reggae Bump Bump", performed by American singer R. Kelly. It features "cheeky" lyrics about falling in love with a DJ at a nightclub. To promote the single Che'Nelle completed a US radio tour in forty states. The song did not perform well in the US, only peaking at number 98 on the Pop 100. It fared better in Japan and Europe, with it charting in several countries in the latter territory. Che'Nelle also refocused her efforts on promoting the single and album in Japan and its success helped her forge a long-standing career in the country.

Rough and tough man, Mr. DJ
I can't say no when he whispers, "My place"
Got into my ride ?til my man go home
I'll be back as soon as I take my girls home

I rode up to Mr. DJ's house
He stood at the door only in his towel
One thing led to the other
He ripped my clothes up all together

I fell in love with the DJ, DJ
Sneakin? ?round the back door
Bangin? ?til we hear somebody say
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I fell in love with the DJ, DJ
Gettin? intoxicated every weekend
He make my heart go

Oh no, did I tell you how the story ends?
When my boyfriend followed me one night, oh no, did I tell you?
Came through the door with a knife in his hands
I turned around screamin? shocked and said that we were just friends

But I was trippin? on my words
I was makin? it so obvious
But thank the Lord that I had a CD in my hand
Just droppin? off my new tracks, sweetie

I fell in love with the DJ, DJ
Sneakin? ?round the back door
Bangin? ?til we hear somebody say
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I fell in love with the DJ, DJ
Gettin? intoxicated every weekend
He make my heart go
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I fell in love with the DJ, DJ
