The third track of the EP is about living life to the fullest, enjoyment, but also the dynamics between men and women, temptation and seduction.


The lyrics explained


The lyrics paint the picture of an intensifying flirt between a man and a woman. Both are drawn to each other and connect in a playful way, the woman knows exactly what she wants and is playing with her femininity, challenging the man to step up his game.


Bobo rock my waist Hold my body Give me feeling That I never felt before

In Nigeria, it is a normal and often even expected behavior of a man to express courtesy to a woman of his desire by spending money on dates, gifts or daily needs, regardless of the woman's own financial capability or their relationship status. Men usually see a woman by their side as an extension of themselves and make sure that she is taken care of in many ways.


You say you want to dance Abi you want to flex Put your hands on top my waist Bobo you got to spend
