17 notes. Tap a highlighted line to read it.

The storyLines 1 to 5

He opens on his clothes and never strays far from them: patchwork fabric, old pieces worn with pride, and water everywhere. The water lines are an early sign of the Wavy persona that runs through everything he makes after this.

PlaceLine 2

Nile River

The longest river in Africa, and the setup for the old pun on denial. It also keeps the water imagery going.

ReferenceLine 3

Nival

A rare word for anything to do with snow. He uses it to say his outfit keeps him ice cold.

MusicLine 6

Frank Ocean

Self Control and Nights are both songs on Frank Ocean's 2016 album Blonde, and the shirt's color makes three. The wishing well at the end keeps the water theme going.

MusicLine 8

Jodeci

The North Carolina R&B group of K-Ci, JoJo, DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin, behind 90s slow jams like Forever My Lady and Come and Talk to Me. It's what he puts on as the night winds down.

MusicLine 12

Soul for Real

An R&B group of four brothers from Long Island whose first single went top five in 1995. He names the group and that hit in the same line.

MusicLines 12 to 13

Pharrell Williams

The Virginia producer and singer who sang lead on Daft Punk's 2013 hit. Coming right after Soul for Real, his name also sounds like for real, and the line borrows that hit's title for someone else.

Film and TVLine 14

Chucky

The killer doll from the Child's Play horror films. The insult is built out of the series' title.

Film and TVLines 15 to 16

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The late 90s TV series about a teenage girl who hunts vampires. Someone who hides from daylight belongs in her world.

MusicLine 19

Doja Cat

Her breakout single Say So was climbing the charts in early 2020, the same season this song came out. Cat is also slang for sex, so the song title turns into him getting it just by asking.

BrandLine 21

Range Rover

The British luxury SUV. Drop the last letter and it's rove, to wander off, which is what he's doing.

The storyLines 26 to 32

The beat drops back for a spoken phone call to a woman across the room, all about learning her name. It's the same move Alicia Keys makes in the middle of You Don't Know My Name, the song this one ends on.

PersonLine 34

Amelia Earhart

The aviation pioneer who disappeared over the Pacific in 1937. Fly means stylish here and also points to flight, the imagery Jett2Fly's name brings into the music.

MusicLine 42

F*ck the World

Brent Faiyaz's album, out in February 2020, less than two months before Keys'. The R&B singer's title opens the line.

MusicLines 48 to 49

SWV

Sisters With Voices, the New York trio behind some of the biggest R&B hits of 1993. He works two of their best known songs into back-to-back lines.

MusicLines 57 to 58

Alicia Keys

Her 2003 single You Don't Know My Name stops in the middle for a spoken phone call to a man she has a crush on. This song makes a call of its own, closes on her title, and is named for her: Keys', with the apostrophe.

The storyLine 59

The last line credits the song to the two of them as a team. Jett2Fly and SyWavy make nearly everything themselves, and this early single says so on the record.
