“Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” by Christina Aguilera

The titular invitation is being relayed from the vocalist to the addressee, and what she is inviting him to is a party. More to the point though would be the fact that he’s a romantic interest. So her inviting him to this function is basically another way of letting the guy know that she’s interested in him romantically. And by extension, Christina is also enlightening him to the fact that if he plays his cards right, he may in fact prove to be “the one”, i.e. the recipient of her love.
