Lyrics:
You met your match
And there ain’t no better I know you tried hard
But there’s no better
Nobody luh ya like me
And you know better
Nobody do it like me and you no better
You try the fast wine
But the slow better
I know you fast wine
But the slow better
Na na naaa naa
Na na naaa naa
The beauty of our shadows
The flicker of electricity
I watch you like a candle
I’m hoping that you pour all on me
Committed to your shrine
I just wanna feel your essence in me
Mmmmmm
And I know we both deserve it
You met your match
And there ain’t no better
I know you tried hard
But there’s no better
Nobody luh ya like me
And you know better
Nobody do it like me and you No better
You try the fast wine
But the slow better
I know you fast wine
But the slow better
Na na naaa naa
Na na naaa naa
Hold Me
Steady and slowly
Unholy
Unruly
For my eyes only
MMM mon cherie
You’re my one piece no side piece
Love is more I like peace
I fly to Greece but you on steeze
Come here now stranger
Gimme that sense of danger ya ya ya
I’ve known you forever
Make me laugh, think you so clever ha ha ha
Can’t believe we only met one night
Take up so much space in my mind
Mmmmmm
And I know we both deserve it na na na
You met your match
And there ain’t no better
I know you tried hard
But there’s no better
Nobody luh ya like me
And you know better
Nobody do it like me
and you No better
You try the fast wine
But the slow better
I know you fast wine
But the slow better
Na na naaa naa
Na na naaa naa

Scrolling till I see there's no London. Madame. I am following you and waiting with baited breath. ♥🏳‍🌈

[@Myfreetherapy]

Ok, So I see I am the only one commenting here which is WILD to me, BUT! On the off chance you read this; You are one of the few people I am a fan of. My cousin saw you when she was eating at a restaurant in LA and I am glad! She didn't disturb you lol. I would have asked the waiter to pass you a heartfelt note, but also not engaged in any other way. You are too special and do too much for us to have your peace disturbed. I hope to meet you one day! Thanks for being. X

[@theworldofjer]

This is the underdog track of the album 😍 Those trumpets are so dope

[@cxcartgallerybycourtneylee8138]

FrFr 🥰🎶

[@Myfreetherapy]

That's Oga Seun Kuti!!!! Ms Monae knows who to call! 🤩🥰

[@Nathonyx]

This one sounds so crisp with the blend of trumpets, light synth, and percussion. Perfect for playing late night at the beach party.

[@Your_Best_Self]

right

[@ai_ssac973]

My favorite song on this album. ON REPEAT ‼️🔥❤️

[@vinylswitP]

[@cxcartgallerybycourtneylee8138]

[@treelineufo808]

This song is so addictive and hypnotic. I love it

[@jaykaynum5569]

Probably the best song on the album

[@Pink_Scarab]

The way that beat drops towards the end 🔥 is really beating’

[@cxcartgallerybycourtneylee8138]

Beat is beating for sure! 🥰💕

[@queena_]

that’s that iconic horn arrangement

[@jessw.6250]

I definitely read that wrong at first sight 😅

[@Lindokuhle.Nkwanyane]

She got all the right people for this album 😅

[@NTRURESH]

This needs a music video

[@Thediscohkidd78]

This is better than a dozen roses & a bottle of champagne. It's sweet, bubbly, floral, and thorny at the same dam time. Yum J. You did the damm thang AGAIN!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@bodyontheceiling]

the brass at the start!!!!!!! this song is perfect

[@andycordy5190]

This new material is so rich and varied. Bit surprised to get all this ahead of time.😊

Janelle brought fire 🔥 to her new album

[@myjane2430]

Fr 💯

[@angelicaterry3367]

The sample is incredible as in the way the sample is used

[@ajibolarilwan3938]

It's no sample, the trumpets played by seun kuti and the Egypt 80'

[@angelicaterry3367]

@@ajibolarilwan3938 there is a sample but i think you'd have to have listened to an extremely wide range of music to pick it up... possibly...

[@neomuneochicken4585]

ikr!? it's awesome!

[@neomuneochicken4585]

@@ajibolarilwan3938 there is, it's called "Darkest Light" by lafayette afro rock band

[@SravanKhande-ke4op]

​@@angelicaterry3367hi 😂🎉😢😮😊😅😊😊, viber pdi😢😮😅😊😊

[@DucksUpDogsDownCatsSlide]

Thanks for having Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 on your album, I have always liked their music

[@AmapianoLuvr]

Soon afrobeats will take over. Good to see Ckay on US artists songs too..

[@purposepit7473]

then it will be watered down, commodified and eventually taken over by white artists.

[@respeckmusic]

This a nice vibe. Can bump this all day on repeat

[@preferjacker5369]

Lovely...This is pure Afrobeat, featuring the legendary Fela's Egypt 80 band...

[@morbiddom9587]

Please the trumpets 😭😭❤

[@MarauderTwilight]

I'd recognize that Rump Shaker horn line anywhere 😎🤩

[@aurumthebrave3427]

Those horns do something to me everytime this comes on like....wow

[@jpdaboss626]

This song is IT! This is the one!

[@Juan-fy6fc]

This whole album is fire

[@lindsaymonroe567]

I love this song, it sounds so relaxing yet mysterious in nature

[@killingthemood2000]

Easily my fave from the album, and probably this year! It has so much sensuality, intense horns/sample, mystique, a great feature, and it's longer than 2 minutes

[@soniqonline]

The horns reminiscent of 'Show Me What You Got' and ' Roc Boys' - but she flipped in her own way. This song is such a vibe!

[@nedujames8697]

This is so unique ❤

[@AsaAdetimirin]

[@noramuldowney2721]

My hips cant stop moving 😅

[@number1x]

Those horns! YES!

[@exexalien]

Echoes of Lafayette Afro Rock Band in that trumpet line!

[@xKeepTheFaithx]

I love the chill vibe 💙

With this album, the successor of Prince and Stevie Wonder has succumbed to the legacy of Drake.
