2 On
Did you have to Google what "turnt up" meant after you heard that Lil Jon song on the radio? Here, I'll save you the trouble of having to Google something else--2 On means the same thing (getting wasted and/or having a good time), Tinashe just wanted a different way of saying it, and she spends this song telling you how she'll be getting 2 on and what she'll be doing during and after the fact. Hint: she's with her girls, and maybe some dudes too, but only if they aren't lame.
