The singer in "Hey Ya" first describes doubts and concerns about a current romantic relationship. In the second verse they begin to contemplate leaving the relationship entirely due to fears that love will not last forever. In the bridge, the singer appears to clarify that their revised expectations for the relationship are merely physical in nature and that no prolonged interaction with their partner, or more especially with the partner's family, is desirable or acceptable. The remainder of the song contains repeated requests for all female listeners to "shake it like a Polaroid picture" which refers to Polaroid snapshots, which require vigorous shaking for the chemicals in the Polaroid photo to mix and develop the photograph.
