In English we do not use quotes like ,, ... ''. It should be " ... " or ' ... '.

"style" = manner, behaviour, way of dressing, acting, etc.
"got me under the spell" = captivated me

I'm not sure about "get down". It used to mean something like "have a great time partying", but maybe it means something else now. Pop song lyrics are often a string of random banalities or nonsense, so there's no guarantee it has any useful meaning.

More context is needed. This looks like an extract from a rock/pop song, so grammar and meaning may not be standard.

It's a part of a Jennifer Lopez song,

Here's a bigger part of the lyrics:

Hi, I’m Tune, the man on the moon
I live on the beach, get the sand out ya shoes
And all of that changed since I met you
So we can leave that old shit in the restroom
Young Money!

[J Lo]
You got me and I could not defend it
I tried but I had to surrender
Your style got me under the spell
Left me no other choice but to get down

It’s too late, it’s too late
It’s too late, it’s too late
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it

Regards,

Ozzy

"Your style got me under the spell" = The way you are makes me very focused on you. This person is probably saying I am very attracted to you.
