Redfoo (real name Stefan Gordy), former member of party rocking duo LMFAO, is releasing his debut solo album Party Rock Mansion via his own Party Rock Records, distributed worldwide by Warner Music Group's ADA. The producer, rapper and DJ's new album features 13 new songs, including collaborations with Stevie Wonder and producer/DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, as well as previously released songs like "Juicy Wiggle," "Where The Sun Goes," "Booty Man" and "Lights Out."

Redfoo recently stopped by iHeartRadio HQ where he revealed the meaning behind each song on Party Rock Mansion ... using emojis! He explained what each song is about, what inspired them, and what they mean to him all by using emojis in the exclusive interview below.

Track 1: "Keep Shining"

"'Keep Shining' starts the whole album, it'll start the whole show. It's this epic vibe that talks about, you know you gotta keep shining. You don't know what tomorrow holds. So, you just gotta do your best in the moment and just gotta keep shining everyday, like the sun. Because that's what the sun does. And you gotta create that warmth. That's the vibe. And you gotta celebrate."

Track 2: "Party Train" 

"'Party Train' is the ultimate party song where you get in to some kinda Conga line with your friends, and you walk around and you just party. And it's very interactive, and very funky and fun. It's for all ages, but it's especially for the raves. We use this song to actually exit shows a lot, and we go on the train and we walk out. It's a good intro song, as well, to do that. But, it is just the ultimate, and I picked this emoji because she looks like she's in the party train."

Track 3: "Too Much"

"'Too Much' is just about me being 'too much' in the club - just ridiculous with the stuff that I say. And a lot of people say, 'Man, you do too much. Man, you're just too much.' And, so I go, 'Yeah.' I always put my tongue out all the time, so that's the tongue."

Track 4: "Beach Cruisin'"

"'Beach Cruisin'' is kinda how I like to go through life. Just cruisin'. That's my thing. It's about going to the beach and I kinda take that whole beach mentality wherever I go. So, I just be cruisin' through life. Lately, I've just been on my phone. I'll walk through the mall [and] the streets on my phone and cars damn near hit me, but I don't even know what's going on because I'm Snapchatting, I'm looking at stories, working on spreadsheets, playing chess. That's what I'm doing. I'm beach cruisin' all the time. So, I picked a little surfer dude."

Track 5: "Booty Man" 

"'Booty Man' was written after a photo shoot I did. And the girl asked me, she just simply said, 'Are you a boob man or a booty man?' And I never really thought of it that, I was never put on the spot where I had to make a decision. Because whatever I said, it could really offend her, or not. So I just went with it. I said, 'Hey. I'm a booty man. Huh, booty man, booty man.' And I said it like that, and I said, 'That's a song. I need to do a song like that.' So, the ladies love this song because it's a twerk song, and they got to clap. And they like to shake their booties. So I picked the peach emoji because this is the booty emoji."

Track 6: "Lights Out"

"'Lights Out' is about when you're in a relationship with somebody and they're just driving you crazy because one day they love you, and the next they hate ya', and they keep making you go crazy. So I picked this emoji, because this is a couple and they're holding hands, and they look like they're happy, and that's only because the camera was on. And, this guy's face is gonna turn in to a frown immediately because she's gonna get mad and pull him and say, 'Let's go' or something crazy. Then, bipolar. So, I picked this because this is not how it is."

Track 7: "So Lit"

"'So Lit' is when you meet that girl, and the chemistry is perfect. It's usually in the beginning. It's usually the love at first sight, and you're just so attracted to that person, and it just makes you feel like you're high. You're on drugs or whatever, you're extremely happy. You don't have to be on drugs, but your adrenaline's pumping, and you're just so excited. It puts you in a mood to where everything you do is sexy because you feel that way towards the other person. You're just feeling that vibe."

Track 8: "New Thing"

"'New Thing' is about the period of time when you break up with that somebody. I broke up with a girl and I was back on the prowl. I was back on the hunt. And I was letting the ladies know that you could be my 'new thing.' And 'thing' is just a term of endearment. A lot of people say, 'Why do girls gotta be things, we are people, you know.' I mean it's like a 'boo.' So, it's just having fun. I didn't want, 'You could be my new girl,' it just sounded too [much like] trying to make it slang. And this is a slang too. It's very scary because sometimes when you're on the prowl, you have other friends that are on the prowl. I have a friend, he's a sexy sax man and if I try to get some 'new things,' and then he starts playing the sax, he's like the Pied Piper because when he plays the sax, the girls, they don't care about me. Every girl loves, a sexy sax player. And a person that just plays the sax may become sexy. So, that's a tough thing. So, I don't hang out with him anymore. Because, he's too 'saxy.'"

Track 9: "Juicy Wiggle"

"'Juicy Wiggle' is about a dance called the 'Juicy Wiggle' that I discovered when I was in Australia. And, it's just a silly a dance. It actually reminds me of the old 'Swim' back in the fifties; 'quirky' is the right word for this dance. It's fun and it's silly. We do it at the show, and we juicy wiggle. There's a certain type of beat that when you hear it, it just makes you do that anyways."

Track 10: "Good Things Happen When You're Drunk"

"Because this is how you feel. I picked the poo with the happy face. Because, people don't realize poo is happy. He's smiling. He's a happy poo. He's a happy little s**t, and that's how you feel when you're s**t-faced. That's why, I picked this. The good things always happen when you're drunk, to me, because you don't have a care in the world. You dance the way you need to dance. Even your walk is a dance. Your drunk walk looks like some kind of tap dancing in slow motion. And good things always happen. You lose your wallet and phone, and that is good for being more intimate with your friends. Because now you don't have to be on the phone. So it's a good thing."

Track 11: "Where the Sun Goes" featuring Stevie Wonder

"'Where the Sun Goes' is about two people going off cruising, down the coast, feeling the summer vibes. This song has the harmonica playing of the great Stevie Wonder. I usually do a lens-less glasses all the time, but when you're cruising and you're driving, and the sun is in your eyes, you gotta put on your shades. And, Stevie Wonder wears shades, as well. He is a legend and a musical genius, and I imagined him on it. Just to have him on the track was like a weird dream come true."

Track 12: "Meet Her at Tomorrow" featuring Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike

"I wrote this because I just broke up with a girl, and I wanted to let her know that we could meet up at tomorrow. I mean it, the future. I don't know what the future holds between us, so I froze our love. It's a very emotional song. I mean, I was really feeling something, you can tell when you listen to the song. But it's uplifting because it's like I'll meet her at tomorrow. You know, I have to let her go now, but like a message in a bottle."

Track 13: "Maybe"

"'Maybe' is that period of time when you're in a relationship and you realize you want to tell the person that you love them. It's a ballad, and I wrote it on the piano, and I play the piano on it. And I sing on there. 'Maybe' is what I should've done. I should've wrote the song and then played it. Instead of saying 'I love you' to the girl, first. The same girl that was 'Lights Out,' because it didn't go very well when I said that, and she didn't say it back. And, it hurt my heart. So I said, 'I wish would've wrote a song.' Then I'm protected by the laws of art. You know, [if she asks] 'Well, is it about me?', [I can say], 'Well no, maybe it is, maybe it's not.' But, I could've done that, and so I imagined what that song would have been like. And then I got on the piano, and I wrote it."
