13 Possessive Songs Featuring the Adjective, MY, Vol. 3 features songs by Drake, Lauryn Hill, Lenny Williams, Rasheeda, The Knack, and Twenty One Pilots.

“My, Oh My”, Camila Cabello! My is defined by Merriam-Webster as an adjective ‘of or relating to me or myself especially as possessor, agent, object of an action, or familiar person.’ WORD. What better choice of word for a playlist, particularly one that essentially features no other criteria than the fact that the songs feature the word my in their respective titles? 13 Possessive Songs Featuring the Adjective, MY, Vol. 3 follows up the previous M-Y music compendiums, 13 Possessive Songs Featuring the Adjective, MY (2024) and 13 More Possessive Songs Featuring the Adjective, MY (2025). 13 Possessive Songs Featuring the Adjective, MY, Vol. 3 features songs by Drake, Lauryn Hill, Lenny Williams, Rasheeda, The Knack, and Twenty One Pilots. So, without further ado or delay, let’s jump into this MY-driven playlist, shall we?

1. Rasheeda, “My Bubble Gum”

Dat Type of Gurl » 1900 Unknown At Takeon » 2007

“The type of girl you wanna chew all of your bubble gum /… I-I-I’m the type of girl you wanna take to your mama house / Take, t-t-take, take, take, to your mama house.” Is there anything more potent than an infectious, satisfying, ratchet southern rap banger? Rasheeda brought down the house in 2007 with “My Bubble Gum”. No, the Georgia peach was not literally rapping about bubble gum but her ASSets and receiving… pleasure 🫣. Safe to say, her “milkshake”, indeed, “brings all the boys to the yard,” but, only a select few can have her (“Baby girl get money /… I pimp hard like that / I don’t need a broke nigga on my arm like that”). Shiwen Shann produced this sleek bop that appeared as the 16^th track on her 2007 album, Dat Type of Gurl. It did not electrify the hip-hop or pop charts, but in 2025, “My Bubble Gum” reached number 19 on the Billboard Digital Songs Sales chart. That is likely owed to its popularity on TikTok.

♬ My Bubble Gum – Rasheeda

Throughout “My Bubble Gum,” Rasheeda is confident as fuck. Her lyrics are highly sexual, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! “First things first, I ‘Sheeda (I ‘Sheeda) / Mess around wit’ no man who won’t eat her (Naw),” she raps in the first verse. He must perform cunnilingus (oral sex) 😳 🤭 😈. But, as is the case between sexual partners, sometimes you have to express your explicit desires – clear-cut directions. “Sometimes you gotta direct him like traffic (Traffic) / I don’t cum quick, but when I do, it’s fantastic (Fantastic),” she continues rapping in the first verse, concluding, “I get him wide open, oh, I think he like me (Like me) / Got that Aquafina, make them boys wanna wife me (Yep).” Aquafina, huh? Oh, shit! More like, oh, fuccckkk!

♬ My Bubble Gum – Rasheeda

There are two more colorful, NSFW verses. In the second, she spits, “Yeah, I know I got that work (Work) / Got that good-good, you wanna eat it like dessert (Like dessert) / He wanna show off this prize piece (Piece) / So, drop them nickels off, boy, and get this dime piece (Yep).” I doubt she’s referencing 5¢, but because he has two of them, the math adds up: 5¢ + 5¢ = 10¢ or a dime! The third verse is no letdown either. With “Jeans painted on, same price as the Cris bottle,” Rasheed brags that she’s “Petite, but that ass sit just right.” And because that Georgia peach 🍑 is ‘peaching,’ “Now he wanna beat it up like his first name Ike (Go ‘head) / But I ain’t Anna Mae.” Not Ike Turner and Tina Turner! Nearly two decades later, folks are bumping “My Bubble Gum”, which still goes H.A.M., no cap!

2. Rod Wave, “Break My Heart”

Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory (EP) » Alamo / Sony Music Entertainment » 2022

On “Break My Heart”, Rod Wave continued to be prolific. The single appeared on his 2022 EP, Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory (EP). TnTXD and trillgotjuice produced it. Besides the additional music added by the producer, a sample fuels the fire. What’s interesting is the fact that it’s not an old-school sample but another 2022 song, “Love Me More” by Sam Smith. Rod lets the beat ride before joining the party. Ultimately, the sound is characteristic of him – firmly planted in his comfort zone. As always, he delivers a sweet melodic rap flow with trap sensibilities (“I don’t want no broke friends ‘cause I’m larger than a bitch (Larger) / Don’t want no rap friends, ‘cause they be flawer than a bitch”). The sweetest moments hail from the memorable chorus.

“I said, ‘Girl, where you going?’ (Where you going, love?)

You can’t stay a little while longer?’ (Why you going, love?)

The real from the fake and the fake from the flawed (And the fake)

Gettin’ harder to tell ‘em apart (Apart)

And it breaks my heart, (My heart), and it breaks my heart.”

“Break My Heart” is enjoyable and well-rounded.

3. Lauryn Hill, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You – (I Love You Baby)”

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill » Ruffhouse » 1998

“You’re just too good to be true / Can’t take my eyes off of you / You’d be like heaven to touch / I wanna hold you so much.” Grammy-winning R&B/hip-hop superstar Lauryn Hill delivered a surefire classic with “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”. But, guess what? Frankie Valli (1934 – ) originally recorded it in 1967 on his album, Four Seasons Present Frankie Valli Solo (“Can’t Take My Eyes off You”). Focusing on Hill’s epic cover, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You – (I Love You Baby)” is the 15^th and penultimate track on her 1998, historic, Grammy-winning masterpiece, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Notably, it was a hidden track on the album. It earned the distinction of becoming the first hidden track to receive a Grammy nomination (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 41^st Annual GRAMMY Awards). “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” didn’t impact the pop charts, but it did spend one week on the R&B charts, where it peaked at number 45. Regardless of its lack of chart success, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” is considered one of Hill’s best songs.

Hill makes “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” her own, period. It sounds starkly different from the original, which has a traditional pop sound and vibe. One reason Hill’s version is distinct is the banging hip-hop soul beat. That beat easily carries this ‘67 classic to the late ‘90s. Also, the beatboxing is epic too. The sound is modernized, thanks to the production of Ms. Hill! Besides the beat, a sickening bass line, and colorful keys, ‘up the ante.’ Hill captivates with her stunning voice, blessing our ears with that gorgeous tone. She’s particularly on fire during the chorus. She asserts, expressively:

“I need you, baby, and if it’s quite alright

I need you, baby, to warm a lonely night

I love you, baby, trust in me when I say, ‘It’s okay’.”

Beyond the chorus, Lauryn brings a swagger, solidifying the hip-hop influence (those chill but potent ad-libs). Ultimately, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” by Lauryn Hill remains the sugar, honey, iced tea to this day. Oh, Lauryn, why couldn’t you have released another album?!

4. Twenty One Pilots, “Tear in My Heart”

Blurryface » Fueled By Ramen » 2015

Twenty One Pilots, comprising Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, had a huge year in 2015. Blurryface, the duo’s third studio album, marked their breakthrough project. One of the biggest and best songs not named “Stressed Out”, which won them a Grammy, which they accepted in their undies, was “Tear In My Heart”. Not a tear 😭 but tear as in, noun: ‘damage from being torn’ especially a hole or flaw made by tearing.’ Set in a major key, “Tear In My Heart” contrasts the previous, minor-key record, “Fairly Local”. The chorus is infectious – “She’s the tear in my heart, I’m alive / She’s the tear in my heart, I’m on fire” – while Joseph’s vocal performance is spot-on. The best moment is the ‘off-beat’ bridge about potholes of all things:

“You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time

But that’s okay, I’ll just avoid the holes, so you sleep fine

I’m driving here, I sit

Cursing my government

For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement.”

Only Tyler would write and sing such a lyric, folks! So, do the potholes really matter? Nope – he is referencing his dedication to his wife and is trying to disallow his idiosyncratic tendencies to ruin his relationship after all, “She’s the tear in my heart / Take me higher than I’ve ever been.”

5. Patti LaBelle, “You Are My Friend”

Patti LaBelle » Epic » 1977

“You are my friend / I never knew it ‘til then / My friend, my friend.” Word. The great Patti LaBelle ‘brings the heat’ on the ‘friendly’ “You Are My Friend”. “You Are My Friend” is the fifth track on her 1977 album, Patti LaBelle. LaBelle, James Budd Ellison, and L. Armstead Edwards penned the classic. David Rubinson & Friends, Inc. produced the cut. While “You Are My Friend” didn’t impact the pop charts, it performed modestly on the R&B charts (no. 61). LaBelle sings angelically. Her voice is anointed! Her performance is dynamic, expressive, and nuanced. She brings the tuneful melodies to life superbly. Her ad-libs and high-flying vocals are everything, specifically on the bridge where the choir sings, “I’ve been looking around, and you were here all the time…” The lyrics aren’t complicated but solidly convey ‘friendship’ – a special relationship. “You hold my hand, you might not say a word,” she sings in the first verse, continuing, “But I see your tears when I show my pain.” Powerful. In the second, LaBelle asserts, “Your love has made me realize / My future looks bright to me all because…” – yup, you guessed it – “You are my friend!” Besides top-notch vocals and thoughtful lyricism, the instrumental accompaniment is marvelous. We’d expect nothing but the crème de la crème supporting a Philly gal like Patti! “You Are My Friend” is epic!

6. Ryland James, “You’re Still My Man” – Whitney Houston cover

“You’re Still My Man” » 21 Entertainment Group » 2024

“You’re still my man / Nothing can change it / We still belong together.” Canadian musician Ryland James is filled with dedication on “You’re Still My Man”. However, he wasn’t the first to sing those ‘tethered’ lyrics (despite the end of a relationship, mind you). Whitney Houston originally sang “You’re Still My Man” on her 1987 tour de force, Whitney. Covering a Whitney song takes big vocals and a lot of courage. James, who has a commanding instrument, has no issue with tackling this rarely covered song from a male perspective: he identifies as queer.

James makes “You’re Still My Man” his own, with more of a ‘pop-leaning’ sound. He sings radiantly, showing off his distinct, expressive, and nuanced pipes. The falsetto notes he hits are glorious. He is accompanied by piano initially as he laments the union with his man. “And the feelings between us / Will never disappear,” he sings in the first verse, continuing, “How can you be far away / When you’re spirit’s here?” In the second verse, he’s certain “soon you’ll be missing me,” adding “There’s a magic we share together / And no one can break that spell.” As the song progresses, the accompaniment expands, including strings, bass, and drums. The most powerful section of the song is the outro, where Ryland shows how dynamic and powerful he is as a vocalist. The ad-libs and riffs are on point. He navigates the key changes soundly, one of the harder aspects of this big, big song. Covering Whitney Houston is no easy task, but Ryland James does a fabulous job with “You’re Still My Man”.

7. Gwen McCrae, “You Were Always On My Mind”

Lay It On Me: The Columbia Years » Sony Music Entertainment » 2011

“Maybe I didn’t treat you / Quite as good as I should have / Maybe I didn’t love you / Quite as often as I should have.” Fun fact: The late Gwen McCrae (1943 – 2025), renowned for her top 10 hit, “Rockin’ Chair”, was the first musician to release “You Were Always On My Mind” 🤯. Johnny Christopher, Wayne Carson, and Mark James wrote the beloved country classic, which gets the country-soul treatment from McCrae. Gwen kills it on “You Were Always On My Mind.” Her voice is perfection – her tone is delightful. McCrae brings a cool, calm, and collected approach to the ballad, while packing a mighty punch. She never sounds as if she perspires while singing, yet soulfulness oozes, particularly when the melody becomes harmonized beginning at the end of the first verse. The second verse, “Maybe I didn’t hold you / All those lonely, lonely times…,” retains these stunning harmonizations over a marvelous, country-soul musical backdrop. One of the high water marks of her performance is the bridge section, where she sings, “Tell, tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died / Give to me, give me one more chance / To keep you satisfied, satisfied.” “You Were Always On My Mind” is considered an ace-in-the-hole for the iconic Willie Nelson (1933 – ). But let us give the late, great Gwen McCrae for her beautiful original release. R.I.P.!

8. The Knack, “My Sharona”

Get The Knack » Capitol » 1979

“Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run / Gun it coming off of the line, Sharona.” Doug Fieger (1952 – 2010) was lusting heavily for Sharona Alperin, on “My Sharona”, a certified classic from The Knack. “My Sharona,” the seventh track on the band’s 1979 double platinum album, Get The Knack, was a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America®. But, there’s a wee bit of controversy. Doug was 25 when he was ‘taken’ with Sharona, who was 17 … and had a boyfriend. When the song was written, Fieger and Alperin were not dating, but eventually, they were a couple for a while, and they remained friends up until Fieger’s death from lung cancer in 2010. But, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the age range, at the time, was troubling… According to Fieger, in the song, he chose to write from the perspective of a 14-year-old boy. Fieger and The Knack guitarist Berton Averre (1953 – ) wrote “My Sharona.” Mike Chapman produced it.

“My Sharona” is ear-catching for various reasons. One reason is the sexual innuendo. “Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind / I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind,” Fieger sings in the chorus. Even if this song is from a 14-year-old boy’s perspective, it seems Fieger let his penchant for younger women slip out… Another reason that “My Sharona” stands out is the stuttering: “My, my, my, I, yi, woo / M-m-m-my Sharona / M-m-m-my Sharona.” Fieger also ‘kills it’ with the stuttering in the third verse: “Is it j-just destiny, d-destiny / Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?” Beyond the stutters, there are more eyebrow-raising lyrics: “Keeping it a mystery gets to me / Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona.” The sound of “the record shines, too. The drums pummel, the guitar cooks, while the bass line anchors. Berton Averre brings it 🎸 on during the instrumental before the outro 🤘. And, of course, our horny frontman is hella excited vocally, among other places, regarding his Sharona. “My Sharona” raises eyebrows, yet, hard to deny the infectious nature or success of this risqué rock classic.

9. Drake, “In My Feelings”

Scorpion » Cash Money » 2018

“Kiki, do you love me? Are you riding? / Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me / ‘Cause I want ya, and I need ya / And I’m down for you always.” The quality of Scorpion, the 2018 double album by Grammy-winning rapper Drake, is questionable. However, the quality of the hits, especially “In My Feelings”, is indisputable. “In My Feelings” was and still is the shit – among the best songs of 2018. The excerpted opening lyrics by Drake are simple, but ear-catching and incredibly infectious. While he later changes the girls’ names – “‘Resha, do you love me? Are you riding? / Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me /… JT, do you love me? Are you riding?” – without a doubt it is Kiki who makes “In My Feelings.” Additionally, the sample-heavy record integrates New Orleans Bounce music, including sampling the late Magnolia Shorty (1982 – 2010). Another notable sample comes courtesy of Lil Wayne ( “Lollipop” ). JT of the City Girls appears in the track, uncredited (“Two bad bitches and we kissin’ in the Wraith / Kissin’-kissin’ in the Wraith, kiss-kissin’ in the Wraith”). “In My Feelings,” a big-time crowd-pleaser, is a prime example of studio wizardry (BlaqNmilD, TrapMoneyBenny, and Noah “40” Shebib produced it) that is intriguing to the nth degree.

10. Lenny Williams, “She Took My Drawers”

“She Took My Drawers” » Bridle Ridge » 2023

“My girl and I was at a motel on a rendezvous (Yeah) / Makin’ sweet, sweet love like we always do.” This is already steamy, Lenny Williams (1945 – ). Please, continue. “I fell asleep, and when I woke up, my girl was gone (Yes, she was) / She text me a picture on my telephone.” Oh, snap! What did she do, Lenny? As the title informs us, “She Took My Drawers”. Damn! Released in November 2023, we assume the undies have been missing since then… Williams and Derek Allen penned this adult contemporary R&B joint released when Lenny was 78 years young. “She Took My Drawer” benefits from smooth, soulful vibes, fitting for a soul singer with skills like Williams. He is playful throughout “Drawers.” Depending on the person, the lyrics can be described as cringy, funny, or silly, particularly during the chorus:

“She took my drawers

Said she gonna put it on TikTok and get a million views

She took my drawers

The girl just threatened me, y’all, to put it on the evening news

She took my drawеrs

She say she love mе (She said it), she said she care

She took my drawers

Why in the hell did she take my underwear?”

Word. Williams raises eyebrows in the second verse when he asserts, “These boxers are special, a gift from my wife to me / Had her picture on the front (Oh), and mine on the back.” Damn, damn, damn! In the third and final verse, he states this woman could have done or given anything else, including COVID or RSV. Instead, she took his special pair of boxers, and now, he has to explain it to his wife. Ain’t that some sh-? “She Took My Drawers” is something else!

11. Natalie Cole, “I’ve Got Love On My Mind”

Unpredictable » Capitol » 1977

“I’ve got love on my mind.” Say no more, Natalie Cole! Cole won nine Grammys during her career. Notably, “I’ve Got Love On My Mind” was nominated for a Grammy. “Love” is the fourth track from her 1977 album, Unpredictable. Charles Jackson and Marvin Yancy, Cole’s husband at the time, composed and produced the song. It was one of Cole’s biggest hits, peaking at no. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The theme of the song is simple: L-O-V-E. You can never go wrong when love is fueling the fire. Furthermore, you can’t go wrong when Natalie Cole sings expressively about the universal topic. With tuneful melodies and a sophisticated accompaniment supporting her (the jazzy piano and strings are key sounds), Cole is on autopilot. Regarding love, she sings in the first verse, “And there’s nothing particularly wrong / It’s a feeling I feel inside / When I woke up early this morning / It was staring me straight in my eyes.” Word! In the second verse, she expands, singing of his irresistible touch, his kisses, and waiting for him to return home… Ooh-la-la! Cole does a sublime job of conveying how good and passionate love feels.

12. Midnight Star, “Wet My Whistle”

No Parking on the Dance Floor » Unidisc Music, Inc. » 1983

“Wet my whistle / Wet my whistle / Wet my whistle.” Whistle sufficiently wetted. In 1976, in 📍 Frankfort, Kentucky, at HBCU Kentucky State University, the R&B collective Midnight Star was formed! The band would impact both the pop and R&B charts, further enriching R&B’s illustrious history. The song at hand, “Wet My Whistle”, appears as the fifth track from their 1983 album, No Parking on the Dance Floor. Notably, “Whistle” was written and produced by Reggie Calloway.

“Wet My Whistle” cooks from the get-go. Calloway’s production is well-rounded. The keys and synths are sleek, while the percussive groove is sickening and funky to the nth degree. Midnight Star is locked in with their marvelous, harmonized vocals. The melodies are tuneful, drawing you in. As for the songwriting, the lyrics are relatable, encompassing matters of the heart. “Just like sweet wine, baby / Your love’s intoxicatin’,” Midnight Star sings in the first verse, continuing, “Why’d I have to taste it? Mmm / ‘Cause I’’s much too good to waste it.” Ooh-wee! The second verse is equally enticing: “Love was never on my mind / I thought I’d better take my time / But girl, you drive me crazy.” As awesome as the verses are, the section to beat is the infectious, whistle-wetting chorus:

“I just had to wet my whistle

When I kissed your lips, girl

I couldn’t get enough

I had to wet my whistle

Just a little bit, baby

Was much too much

Wet my whistle.”

Midnight Heat excels on “Wet My Whistle”. No, it didn’t ignite the pop charts on fire (number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100), but this love-oriented joint is sweet, sweet, sweet!

13. Harry Roy, “My Girl’s Pussy”

Fox Trot Master – the British Swing Sound of Harry Roy and His Orchestra » Das Stimmt » 2022

“There’s one pet I like to pet / And every evening we get set…” What does evening have to do with it, Harry Roy (1900 – 1971)? The British bandleader, clarinetist, composer, and vocalist continues singing, “I stroke it every chance I get / It’s my girl’s pussy.” Holy sugar honey iced tea! Things escalate on “My Girl’s Pussy” which was recorded by Harry Roy & His Orchestra back in 1931 🤯. Surprisingly, innuendo-heavy, highly sexual music isn’t brand new. “My Girl’s Pussy” features cat sounds (meow) near the beginning 😳. Roy references both kinds of cats. Gotta love a mean double entendre! Still, he takes the most pleasure from her pussy. “Seldom plays and never purrs / And I love the thoughts it stirs,” he sings, adding, “But I don’t mind because it’s hers / My girl’s pussy.” Oh my! Other eyebrow-raising lyrics include the cat’s ‘consistency’ – “It’s always nice and warm.” Also, this cat’s “the best I’ve ever seen,” hence the stroking at every given opportunity. MEOW!
