Could I ask one question about a song, "All About That Bass," please?
Part of the lyrics are as follows:
Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two But I can shake it, shake it, like I’m supposed to do ‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase And all the right junk in all the right places
Question: What does "boom boom" in line 3 mean?
Thank you.

Well, how can I put this? She looks good walking away. Her hips move well when she walks.

Well, how can I put this?
She looks good walking away.
Her hips move well when she walks.
There are 2 booms because walking is alternating feet: left, right -- boom, boom.
I don't think the composers of the song put that much literal thought into it, though.

I don't think the composers of the song put that much literal thought into it, though. For the topic of the song, it is handled rather innocently and in a cute, sweet way.
