Meet Me Halfway

Meet me halfway is about compromising in a relationship. Waiting at the borderline is expressing she is waiting at the half way mark. The girl is willing to compromise and the guy is just realizing what he could loose if he chooses to be stubborn. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Fergie said that when she was recording her vocals for this song she “transported” herself back to 1985 when she was just 10 years old and saw Madonna in concert for the first time on The Virgin Tour and took on her persona as homage.
