rock someone's world

Blow someone away

To rock someone's world is to profoundly affect or impress them, usually positively.

The phrase often carries sexual connotations—a lover who rocks your world delivers an unforgettable experience: He promised to rock her world.

But it applies broadly to anything transformative: That book rocked my world when I was twenty.
