ReferenceLine 6

Wagwan

Jamaican patois for what's going on, now common slang in London and Toronto too. The intro leans into patois before the verse starts.

The storyLine 7

He opens the verse by admitting he cheated and calling it part of his growth. It's a confession and a joke on himself in the same breath.

Film and TVLine 18

Robert Downey Jr.

The actor who played Iron Man, whose chest holds a glowing reactor that keeps shrapnel out of his heart. She runs on the same cold machinery.

The storyLines 22 to 25

The hook is the album's late-night center: deep into the night, he's dialing a girl he thought he'd outgrown, one more time. Knowing better and calling anyway is the whole song.

AthleteLine 31

Michael Phelps

The most decorated Olympian ever, with 28 medals, all in the pool. His name becomes a verb for swimming.

AnimationLine 35

Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Disney's original couple, together since 1928. She's nowhere near that to him.

PersonLine 36

DJ Envy

The New York DJ and co-host of the morning radio show The Breakfast Club. The line spells out the show's name across a date.

MusicLine 39

Under Pressure

Queen and David Bowie's 1981 hit. The band's name is what he calls his woman, and the song's title is what she never feels.

MusicLine 40

Otis Redding

The Georgia soul singer behind Try a Little Tenderness and (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay. That's the bar he sets when he talks about his own singing.

The storyLine 41

Pulling it off means getting it done, and pulling petals off a flower is the old loves me, loves me not game.
