This song captures the blissful and restless feeling of falling in love. The lyrics describe the physical sensation of fluttery excitement in the chest, comparing the heart's palpitations upon the arrival of love to a butterfly fluttering frantically inside a cage. The repetition of simple exclamations and joyful sounds reflects the universal, inexplicable sensation of romance taking root.
