"Into the streets, we're coming downWe never sleep, Never get tiredThrough urban fields, and suburban lifeTurn the crowd up now, We'll never back downShoot down a skyline, watch it in primetimeTurn up the love now, listen up now, turn up the loveWho's gonna save the world tonight?Who's gonna bring you back to life?We're gonna make it, you and IWe're gonna Save The World tonightOhoh oh oh, oh oh ohoh oh [x9]We're far from home, it's for the betterWhat we dream, it's all that mattersWe're on our way, unitedTurn the crowd up now, We'll never back downShoot down a skyline, watch it in primetimeTurn up the love now, listen up now, turn up the loveWho's gonna save the world tonight?Who's gonna bring you back to life?We're gonna make it, you and IWe're gonna Save The World tonightOhoh oh oh, oh oh ohoh oh [repeated til end]"Axwell from Swedish house Mafia said in an interview with Artist Direct when the song was first released that "We wanted to make something that sums everything up after a two- or three-hour DJ set. It connects everybody to something pretty emotional and uplifting. We wanted our own end of the night track, and that was the idea behind 'Save the World.' We got this vocal from John Martin, and it was awesome to work with. It was a pleasure structuring the track with all of the parts. The challenge that we had was to make it energetic enough. Sometimes, when there are so many melodies, instruments, and vocals, it's hard to make the track uplifting. However, we managed to get the energy in there."
The first verse "Into the streets, we're coming down We never sleep, Never get tired Through urban fields, and suburban life" brings up the issue of there being problems in the street and this matches the visuals in the music video. Urban suggest a rough area where many problems could accur, which may be why they added it because by saving the world they want to resolve and stop this issues and urban areas may be where it accurs the most. In this song they are singing about saving the world and that is theyre dream. If everyone is united and on the same side then thats all that matters and they believe they can save the world. The lyrics 'turn the crowd up now' relates to the volume of the music, the 'crowd' are conveyed as music and the louder the music gets the louder the crowd will be, also portraying that they are having a good time if there is a lot of noise. 'We'll never back down' shows determination that they will not give up untill they save the world. The chorus "Who's gonna save the world tonight? Who's gonna bring you back to life? We're gonna make it, you and I We're gonna save the world tonight"connotes that they are telling the audience in question and answer form that they can save the world aswell as the audience listening.
