intro
synth arpeggio riff
steady four-on-the-floor kick

VERSE 1
You got my number in your hand
like it’s a loaded gun
Standing underneath the sign
that says the night’s begun
You say you like the danger zone
the thrill of almost wrong
Well I’ve been waiting all night long
PRE-CHORUS
Don’t hesitate
don’t let it fade
You know the rules
were made to be played
CHORUS
Dial my name
when you’re burning up inside
Say it twice
let the sparks collide
Anytime
when you need that flame
Turn it up
dial my name
VERSE 2
Leather seats and engine heat
your shadow on my door
You act cool but your heartbeat
is begging me for more
City lights reflect in chrome
like secrets in your eyes
You don’t have to compromise
PRE-CHORUS
No holding back
no playing tame
If you want fire
you say my name
CHORUS
Dial my name
when the night gets wild
Run the line
like a reckless child
Anytime
when you want the game
Turn it up
dial my name
BRIDGE
breakdown with pulsing synth bass
vocals softer, intimate
Whispers through the wire
static in the dark
Every little spark
feeds the fire
snare build
synth riser
FINAL CHORUS
full instrumentation
layered backing vocals
Dial my name
let the signal fly
Through the noise
through the midnight sky
Anytime
when you want that flame
No delay
dial my name
outro
synth riff repeats
drum hits accent
final sustained chord
