All the girls dem
Wine!
All the girls dem
Wine!
If you have to
Wine
If you have to
All the girls dem
If I could fuck me right here right now I would do that (do that)
Looking in the mirror at me my god like who dat, who dat
Feeling myself wanna play in it
Splash make a wave in it
I could spend the whole day in it
And Imma do that
Backstroke
Freestyle
Surfin on that thang like it’s high tide
Deep Stroke
Butterfly
Lazy river runnin down the water slide
Baby dive in
Cause the water feels fine
Feelin this high vibration
Slippin down the waterslide
Now it's time for me to
Backstroke (stroke)
Freestyle (stroke)
Surfin on that thang like it’s high tide (lemme see you)
Deepstroke (stroke)
Butterfly (stroke)
Lazy river runnin down the water slide (stroke)
I’m holdin my breath with my eyes closed
I can swim solo
Feelin all around for the right spot
Playin marco polo
All the girls wanna play in it
Boys wanna lay in it
But i’mma spend the day in it
And take a real cute photo
Baby dive in
The water feels fine
I’m feelin this high vibration
Slippin down the waterslide
Now it's time for me to
Backstroke (stroke)
Freestyle (stroke)
Surfin on that thang like it’s high tide (lemme see you)

Liberation from the shame society casts upon you. This song represents utter enjoyment of your physicality as a human being (ZERO SHAME), celebrating what is natural to the human self. You deserve to find yourself utterly beautiful and deserving of love, attraction and pleasure in the face of society's shaming of your body shape, sexual identity, and sexual personality. GO JANELLE!!

This has me breathless and covered in goosebumps!!! 😍🌊 OMG the immaculate vibes and beauuuuutiful souls wrapped in the gorgeous bow that is your voice 😩🫦 like I can't mash together enough words to describe the amazement that is this! 🤩

It’s giving 60’s and 70’s vibes and I’m here for it ❤❤

I’m SO happy Janelle released this as a single! This and “Know Better” are the two strongest tracks on the album 😍

[@lahlahluv8380]

Don’t forget “Lipstick 💄 Lover “ 😂❤

THIS SONG SLAPS SO HARD. IF SHE DOESN'T PUT THIS ON THE SETLIST, I'M GONNA LOSE MY MIND

She makes me feel so safe I love seeing a body like mines on the screen everything feels so free

Love the melody and the harmony.
