S

ome things are universal, period.ย  Things that are universal transcend race, ethnicity, or language. ย Honestly, there are few things in the world with this power. That said, one thing that is universal and doesnโ€™t require any translation: SEX.ย  This compendium โ€“ the fifth of 2022 โ€“ is all about that universal three letter word.ย  Ladies and gentlemen, we unleash ๐ŸŽง 21 Songs About the Universal, 3-Letter Word, SEX!

https://media.giphy.com/media/j3VDxS7O21XCMbWka0/giphy.gif

Sex is everywhere โ€“ UNDERSTATEMENT.ย  It dominates popular music, whether mentioned explicitly or dealt with more subtlety.ย  All 21 songs on this list minimally reference the universal word with most going into more depth. Originally, featuring SEX in the title of every song was the plan but then, I opted against it.ย  Why? There are so many great songs that DONโ€™T feature the word in their song title but masterfully execute it nonetheless โ€“ DUH! Gracing this risquรฉ, steamy, and titillating list are gems by ๐ŸŽ™ Alex Angelo, ๐ŸŽ™ George Michael, ๐ŸŽ™ Megan Thee Stallion, ๐ŸŽ™ Madonna, and ๐ŸŽ™ Mike Taveira among many others. So, without further ado, prepared to get hot and bothered by ๐ŸŽง 21 Songs About the Universal, 3-Letter Word, SEX!!!

1. George Michael, โ€œI Want Your Sexโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Faith โ€ข ๐Ÿท Sony โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 1987

George Michael, Faith [๐Ÿ“ท: Sony]Long before ๐ŸŽ™ George Michael informed us โ€œItโ€™s a tits and ass world you gotta be preparedโ€ (๐ŸŽต โ€œFreeek! 04โ€), he desired HER sex. ย ๐ŸŽต โ€œI Want Your Sexโ€ appears on his iconic, ๐Ÿ† Grammy-winning, 1987 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Faith.ย  Although heโ€™d eventually be outed as a gay man, at the time โ€œI Want Your Sexโ€ arrived, he wasnโ€™t out. The 80s was a sexual time in music. โ€œI Want Your Sexโ€ fits in with the sexual liberation of the times.ย  That said, it was still the days of Reagan here stateside, there was also the infamous AIDS epidemic, so a song that seemed to encourage sex was naturally controversial

โ€œI want your sex

I want your love

I want your sex

I want yourโ€ฆ sex.โ€

George Michael wasnโ€™t being โ€˜criminalโ€™ by promoting sex, in essence โ€“ itโ€™s prevalent these days! โ€œSex is natural, sex is good / Not everybody does it / But everybody should.โ€ Right on! Many of us enjoy pleasure, right? George was horny (โ€œIโ€™ve waited so long baby / Out in the cold / I canโ€™t take much more girl / Iโ€™m losing controlโ€), hence, he needed some relief, shoo! That said, the times were much more socially conservative compared to now, and fear ran rampant.ย  Keeping things sexy, โ€œI Want Your Sexโ€ gets a sexy music video ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ“ผ, but also shocks by promoting monogamy at the end โ€“ PLOT TWIST! To this day, โ€œI Want Your Sexโ€ is one song that defines his illustrative career.

2. Azealia Banks, โ€œFuck Him All Nightโ€

๐ŸŽต โ€œFuck Him All Nightโ€ โ€ข ๐Ÿท Chaos & Glory Recordings โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 2021

Azealia Banks, "Fuck Him All Night" [๐Ÿ“ท : Chaos & Glory Recordings]โ€œI was fucking him all night / I fuck him all ways / And fucking him on sight, bitch.โ€ Woo โ€“ speechless! ๐ŸŽ™ Azealia Banks has never been shy โ€“ UNDERSTATEMENT! Banks is known for being outspoken and her penchant for beefs with, well, everybody, honestly.ย  Iโ€™d argue her outspokenness has been more notable than her music career.ย  Regardless, she does have some great records, including the blunt, unapologetic ๐ŸŽต โ€œFuck Him All Nightโ€.

Sex is the modus operandi, period! The one-liners are endless, beginning with, โ€œYeah, Iโ€™ve been fucking him all night / Iโ€™ve been taking raw dick since 11.โ€ Aww sugar honey iced tea! It doesnโ€™t stop there, folks, because this guy has โ€œGot me lock jawed, dick deep in my mouth.โ€ย  Not โ€œmeโ€ of course, but Azealia. Furthermore, over the sketchy, slinky beat, she asserts, โ€œโ€˜Cause we can slut, we can fuck, we can dig in the guts / And we can suck to the nut if you ready to bust.โ€ My, my, my! Also, she throws in some cunnilingus for good measure including a reference to C U Next Tuesday, if you catch my drift: โ€œHe got a crush on me now, I got him spending his bucks / He wanna touch on my body while his tongue in my c***.โ€

While itโ€™s mostly X-rated sex, Banks does take the time to make it crystal clear sheโ€™s a โ€˜bad chickโ€™:

โ€œAll these bitches is zeroes, nill, nada, DeNiro

Iโ€™m high like Sharon Stone in Casino

Iโ€™m the don diva, all these bitches is small fries

When I come through, yes, all these bitches they gonโ€™ hide.โ€

Banks has always had a huge personality โ€“ bigger than life! That doesnโ€™t fade in the least on ๐ŸŽต โ€œFuck Him All Night,โ€ which is, fittingly, unapologetic as For Under Consent [of the] King! Thereโ€™s sex, braggadocio, and fine production work by ๐ŸŽ› Galcher Lustwerk.

3. Drake, โ€œWay 2 Sexyโ€

Ft. Future & Young Thug

๐Ÿ’ฟ Certified Lover Boy โ€ข ๐Ÿท OVO / Republic โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2021

Drake, Certified Lover Boy [๐Ÿ“ท : OVO / Republic]โ€œIโ€™m too sexy for this syrup / Too sexy for you girl / Too sexy for this worldโ€ฆโ€ Woo!ย  ๐ŸŽต โ€œWay 2 Sexyโ€ ends up being one of the bangers that stands out on ๐Ÿ’ฟ Certified Lover Boy, the sixth studio album by ๐Ÿ† Grammy-winning, Canadian rapper/singer, ๐ŸŽ™ Drake. The fact that โ€œWay 2 Sexyโ€ ends up being a banger is a bit surprising considering it samples the corny ๐ŸŽ™ Right Said Fred classic, ๐ŸŽต โ€œIโ€™m Too Sexyโ€.ย  Yes, you can hear the infectious โ€œIโ€™m too sexy for my shirtโ€ on the intro before ๐ŸŽ™ Future delivers the excerpted, confident chorus.

In addition to being joined by Future, ๐ŸŽ™ Young Thug comes along for the ride too.ย  Future, again, plays a sizable role on the repetitive, โ€˜far too sexyโ€™ chorus, as well as dropping the second verse.ย  As youโ€™d expect, itโ€™s not only โ€˜sexyโ€™ but drippy and druggy. As for Young Thug, in the third verse, heโ€™s true to self in all his idiosyncrasy: โ€œI been kickinโ€™ shit (Woah, woah), might need a prosthetic (Yeah).โ€ย  Drake, of course, drops the first verse, which includes the โ€˜thoughtfulโ€™ line, โ€œAnd Iโ€™m way too sexy to go unprotected.โ€ Following chart domination, โ€œWay 2 Sexyโ€ earned Drake another no. 1 hit.ย  Itโ€™s amazing what sexiness will do for you.

4. Madonna, โ€œJustify My Loveโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ The Immaculate Collection โ€ข ๐Ÿท Warner โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 1990ย 

Madonna, The Immaculate Collection [๐Ÿ“ท : Warner]โ€œWanting, needing, waiting / For you to justify my love.โ€ย  Reading the lyrics on the page, it doesnโ€™t sound nearly as sexy and lustful as when ๐ŸŽ™ Madonna performs them.ย  The words hail from the chorus of one of the sexiest (and most controversial) songs of her illustrious career, ๐ŸŽต โ€œJustify My Loveโ€. โ€œJustifyโ€ appears on her 1990 compilation, ๐Ÿ’ฟ The Immaculate Collection. Another no. 1 hit single for Madge, it stands out the first time you hear it. Notably, it was written by her, ๐ŸŽผโœ Ingrid Chavez, and ๐ŸŽผโœ Lenny Kravitz.

Madonna mostly provides spoken word, in an erotic, horny way.ย  None of the lyrics are extraordinarily risquรฉ โ€“ it was 1990 โ€“ but the personality she infuses elevates the temperature. โ€œI want to run naked in a rainstorm,โ€ she asserts in the first verse, adding, โ€œMake love in a train cross-country / You put this in me / So now what, so now what?โ€ Hmm, โ€œYou put this in meโ€ doesnโ€™t seem like a coincidence!ย  Madge also makes it clear on this Controversial Tune ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐ŸŽถ fit for After Dark ๐Ÿ•› ๐ŸŒƒ, that she โ€œDonโ€™t want to be your mother /โ€ฆsister either / I just want to be your lover.โ€ Woo! The third verse seems the most progressive, particularly the end:

โ€œIโ€™m not afraid of who you are

We can fly!

Poor is the man

Whose pleasures depend

On the permissions of another

Love me, thatโ€™s right, love me

I want to be your baby.โ€

Those lyrics seem to match the LGBTQ ๐ŸŒˆ component of the music video ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ“ผ, which features same-sex couples enjoying love just like Madge does.

5. ur pretty, โ€œKeep Riding Meโ€

๐ŸŽต โ€œKeep Riding Meโ€ โ€ข ๐Ÿท ur pretty โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2021

Ur pretty, โ€œKeep Riding Meโ€ [๐Ÿ“ท: ur pretty]Four words: โ€œJust keep riding me.โ€ How about six words: โ€œJust keep on fucking me deep.โ€ Now that is sexual AF, NO CAP! ๐ŸŽ™ ur pretty (๐ŸŽ™ Jake Hill) intended the lyrics to involve those private parts.ย  Furthermore, ๐ŸŽต โ€œKeep Riding Meโ€ doesnโ€™t go straight โ€“ itโ€™s G-A-Y.ย  โ€œI canโ€™t think straight when I look into your eyes,โ€ Hill sings on the first verse, later adding, โ€œYeah, your mustache tickles my nut sack, baby.โ€ Wow โ€“ TMI!ย  It doesnโ€™t stop there, folks, on this sub-two-and-a-half-minute joint! โ€œYou got a way with your words and a big fat cock.โ€

โ€œFlip me over, beat my meat up while you pound it.โ€ Holy sugar honey iced tea! The lyrics are โ€˜something elseโ€™ to say the least โ€“ UNDERSTATEMENT.ย  That said, in this case, they should be taken with a grain of salt.ย  โ€œKeep Riding Meโ€ feels less an ode to male-on-male love than, say, pop-punk humor. Regardless, Hill serves up some compelling vocals.ย  His best moment comes by way of the risquรฉ chorus, which is sexed-up to the nth degree but also, entertaining:

โ€œHe spreads my cheeks, and he makes me scream

Heโ€™s my number one daddy, gotta make him cream inside of me

Just keep riding me

When Iโ€™m slurping him down, itโ€™s my favorite sound

You let out a little moan, what a beautiful tone

So softly, just keep riding me.โ€ย

6. Rihanna, โ€œSex with Meโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Anti โ€ข ๐Ÿท Roc Nation โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2016

Rihanna, Anti [๐Ÿ“ท : Roc Nation]โ€œSex with me, so amazing / All this all hard work, no vacation / Stay up off my Instagram, pure temptation / Sex with me, sex with me, sex with me.โ€ย  Sigh, there are plenty of men who have fantasized about hooking up with ๐ŸŽ™ Rihanna โ€“ just keeping it 100. On ๐ŸŽต โ€œSex with Meโ€ from her 2016 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Anti, sheโ€™s explicit about the sexual experience.

A prime example is the first verse, in which she sings, โ€œFive fingers on it / Hit it like you own it, Iโ€™ma hit it like Iโ€™m on it.โ€ She later closes the verse asserting, โ€œIโ€™ma get it wet like jacuzzi, ah-yea.โ€ Hmm, wonder where sheโ€™s going with thatโ€ฆ Rihannaโ€™s confidence only soars on the second verse:

โ€œSex with me is amazing, with her itโ€™ll feel alright

The sex doesnโ€™t get any better, make it long, let it be all night.โ€

7. Alex Angelo, โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€

๐ŸŽต โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€ โ€ข ๐Ÿท IGAG Productions LLC โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2022

Alex Angelo, โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€ [๐Ÿ“ท: IGAG Productions LLC]Cleveland-bred, Nashville-based pop singer, songwriter, and producer ๐ŸŽ™ Alex Angelo brings more maturity and edge to his entertaining, well-rounded single, ๐ŸŽต โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€.ย  Not only does โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€ encompass the universal three-letter word sex, it also adds a couple of f-bombs ๐Ÿ’ฃ ๐Ÿ’ฅ! If I had to characterize Angeloโ€™s performance on โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€ using four-letter words, itโ€™s damn good.ย  Also, Iโ€™d go a step further and say this gifted 21-year-old is serving up some excellent sugar honey iced tea โ€“ WOO!

What makes โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€ fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ is the vocals, the production, and theme and lyrics.ย  Vocally, Angelo sings well, serving up a cool but soulful brand of pop vocals. He dips into the contemporary R&B playbook โ€“ an awesome sound for him.ย  Likewise, his production embraces this R&B vibe โ€“lush, slick, sleek, and modern.ย  Thereโ€™s no question that Angelo has the 2020s sound on lock.ย  The theme and lyrics solidify the excellence.ย  There are blurred lines between two related four-letter words โ€“ love and fuck.ย  Alex seems to struggle to differentiate between the two.ย  What is clear, however, is that heโ€™s into her something fierce.ย  My favorite section is the chorus, where we get that f-bomb in all its naughty glory! โ€œFour Letter Wordsโ€ = #LIT ๐Ÿ”ฅ!!!

8. Megan Thee Stallion, โ€œEat Itโ€

Megan Thee Stallion, Something for Thee Hotties [๐Ÿ“ท: 1501 Certified Ent. LLC / 300 Entertainment]โ€œBitch, itโ€™s Young Tina Snow, the nastiest freak you know!โ€ ๐Ÿ† Grammy-winning rapper ๐ŸŽ™ Megan Thee Stallion keeps it real on banger, ๐ŸŽต โ€œEat Itโ€ (๐Ÿ’ฟ Something for Thee Hotties, 2021). Face it โ€“ Tina Snow doesnโ€™t know anything other than being unapologetic.ย  On โ€œEat It,โ€ her flows are agile, edgy, and profane to the nth degree โ€“ sexed-TF-up!

From the jump, we get a heaping dose of private parts and WAYYY TOO MUCH INFORMATION! โ€œBust through the walls, break-in and enter / How many licks โ€˜til you get to the center?โ€ she asks, continuing, โ€œHow many times have I heard that a nigga a dog but scared when he play with the kitten? / How many times have I heard that somebody last long? These niggas ainโ€™t lastinโ€™ a minute.โ€ Wow! A lack of profundity when it comes to sex!ย  Megan makes it clear, โ€œI donโ€™t want just one nut / Daddy, Iโ€™ma need the whole tree.โ€ Day-ummm!

In the second verse, Megan doesnโ€™t cease her unapologetic nature, but she does move beyond sex for sexโ€™s sake.ย  โ€œAnd I feel like, aw, shit, yโ€™all should eat my pussy how much yโ€™all mention me.โ€ See what Iโ€™m saying! That said, on the chorus, itโ€™s all about cunnilingus!

โ€œYeah, yeah

Eat it, eat it, eat it โ€˜til I faint

โ€ฆ Eat it, eat it โ€˜til you break a sweat

Lick it all, give your all โ€˜til you outta breath

Eat it, eat it, eat it โ€˜til I cum

Gimme some, gimme some โ€˜til Iโ€™m goinโ€™ dumb.โ€

JESUS โ€“ well โ€“ he has no part in this carnal act! โ€œLegs on the headboard, pussy in his mouth.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Nasty, unapologetic, totally-not-family-friendly Megan Thee Stallion? We wouldnโ€™t have it any other way โ€“ weโ€™re โ€œEat Itโ€ up!

๐ŸŽต โ€œSex for Breakfastโ€ โ€ข ๐Ÿท Mike Taveira โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2021ย 

Mike Taveira, "Sex for Breakfast" [๐Ÿ“ท: Mike Taveira]๐ŸŽ™ Mike Taveira delivers a delicious, titillating pop single with ๐ŸŽต โ€œSex for Breakfastโ€.ย  While he does awesome getting us โ€˜hot and bothered,โ€™ so does his partner in crime, featured guest ๐ŸŽ™ Allie X (Alexandra Hughes). โ€œSex for Breakfastโ€ is as good as advertised featuring slick production by ๐ŸŽ› Sky Cocco and ๐ŸŽ› Jordan Palmer โ€˜put in work.โ€™ย  Cocco is also credited as a writer alongside Taveira, Hughes, and ๐ŸŽผโœ Paul Mauer.

Vocally, Mike sings smoothly, showcasing a marvelous tone.ย  Even so, that doesnโ€™t keep him from delivering a bite, early on, mind you: โ€œHow the fuck can we be friends when all we wanna do is / Fuck it if it happens, we already do it.โ€ Woo! Following those eyebrow raising bombs, Taveira backs off the profanity, but keeps it sexy (we wouldnโ€™t have it any other way).ย  I like the way Allie X both complements and contrasts on the second verse.ย  She gets her ear-catching lyrics in too, even if sheโ€™s not as โ€˜saltyโ€™ as Mike: โ€œItโ€™s a physically sadistic state, I feel so manic / And this body talk, it got so rude.โ€ Of course, the crรจme de la crรจme โ€“ the centerpiece โ€“ is the chorus:

โ€œSex for breakfast
Aah
If you want it, if you want it, if you want it like that
You canโ€™t wait for a second
Aah
Got you coming, got you coming, got you coming right back.โ€

Coming, huh? Gotta love sexual innuendo! Mike Taveira delivers a surefire bop with โ€œSex for Breakfast.โ€

The Pointer Sisters, So Excited! [๐Ÿ“ท: RCA]โ€œIโ€™m so excited, and I just canโ€™t hide it / Iโ€™m about to lose control, and I think I like it!โ€ Woo!
Sometimes, as listeners, we turn a blind eye to things that are sketchy and at times, inappropriate.ย  With legendary, ๐Ÿ† Grammy-winning, R&B sister group ๐ŸŽ™ The Pointer Sisters, thereโ€™s nothing horrible that we turned that blind eye to, but it should be noted that we seemed to ignore the sexual nature of their 1982 pop hit, ๐ŸŽต ย โ€œIโ€™m So Excitedโ€ (๐Ÿ’ฟ So Excited!)

โ€œTonightโ€™s the night weโ€™re gonna make it happen

Tonight, weโ€™ll put all other things aside

Give in this time and show some affection

Weโ€™re going for those pleasures in the night.โ€

NSA! Amazingly, The Pointer Sisters had us all fooled with โ€œIโ€™m So Excited!โ€ I mean, the plan is clear โ€“ to fool around!!! I suppose because โ€œIโ€™m So Excitedโ€ is so catchy, fun, and infectious, we didnโ€™t pay close attention to the theme.ย  Clearly, the sisters are excited about having hot, passionate sex, so much so that they are unconcerned with the happenings of the next day.ย  โ€œWe shouldnโ€™t even think about tomorrow / Sweet memories will last a long, long time,โ€ lead vocalist ๐ŸŽ™ Anita Pointer sings, later adding, โ€œAnd if weโ€™re still playing โ€˜round, boy, thatโ€™s just fine.โ€ Wow!

๐Ÿ’ฟ I. (EP) โ€ข ๐Ÿท Cigarettes After Sex โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 2012ย 

Cigarettes After Sex, I (EP) [๐Ÿ“ท: Cigarettes After Sex]โ€œWhispered something in your ear / It was a perverted thing to say.โ€ Perverted, huh? ๐ŸŽ™ Greg Gonzalez, the frontman of dream/ ambient pop ๐ŸŽ™ Cigarettes After Sex continues, โ€œBut I said it anyway / Made you smile and look away.โ€ย  While saying something perverted could be a potential problem, in the case of ๐ŸŽต โ€œNothingโ€™s Gonna Hurt You Babyโ€,ย  the vibe is these are two people who like/love one another.ย  On this highlight from ๐Ÿ’ฟ I. (EP) released in 2012, Gonzalez makes it clear he wonโ€™t do anything to hurt her; heโ€™ll protect her at all costs!

โ€œNothingโ€™s gonna hurt you baby

As long as youโ€™re with me youโ€™ll be just fine

Nothingโ€™s gonna hurt you baby

Nothingโ€™s gonna take you from my side.โ€

Considering its status as ambient, dream pop, โ€œNothingโ€™s Gonna Hurt Youโ€ has a calming, chill, and smooth vibe. Greg Gonzalez sings with ease, never forcing things. This approach amplifies the sexiness as well as the pureness of this romance. In the second verse, things end freakily โ€“ โ€œalways ends in a hazy shower scene.โ€ But there are also lighter moments, such as listening โ€œTo that silly 90’s R&Bโ€ and simply โ€œlaughing in the microphone and singing / With our sunglasses on to our favorite songs.โ€ย  Ah, to be in love!

Cigarettes After Sex deliver the perfect romantic and sexy After Dark ๐Ÿ•› ๐ŸŒƒ joint with ๐ŸŽต โ€œNothingโ€™s Gonna Hurt You Babyโ€.ย  Thereโ€™s a hint of risquรฉ โ€“ that perverted whisper or that โ€œhazy shower sceneโ€ โ€“ but Gonzalez and company donโ€™t cross the lines like some of our other After Dark entries.ย  Maybe characterizing it as classy is an overstatement, but thereโ€™s lots to like about this decade-old (!) gem.

Christina Aguilera, Bionic [๐Ÿ“ท: Interscope]โ€œTossinโ€™ and turninโ€™ makes my appetite keep growing stronger / All night long.โ€ Yes, many of us wake up in the morning hungry.ย  In this case, ๐Ÿ† Grammy-winning pop singer ๐ŸŽ™ Christina Aguilera wakes up horny โ€“ lustful.ย  Sheโ€™s anticipating a nutritious breakfast comprised of passionate sex. ๐ŸŽต โ€œSex for Breakfastโ€ is an underrated gem in her catalog, appearing on her 2010 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Bionic.ย  Aguilera delivers some of her best vocals, giving a balanced performance.ย  Compared to her usual performances, sheโ€™s cooler, embracing the jazzy, soulful sensibilities of this R&B ballad.

โ€œOur bodies touchinโ€™, I just canโ€™t get enough,โ€ she sings on the bridge, later adding, โ€œWonโ€™t let you sleep, I gotta satisfy my needs.โ€ Woo! The centerpiece is none other than the chorus, which informs us that Aguilera plans to have another session with her lover, this time in the morning:

โ€œAnd when the sun rises, thereโ€™s one thing on my mind
I want sex for breakfast, stay inside
And even though we made sweet love all night
I need sex for breakfast, it feels so right.โ€

That โ€œstay insideโ€ lyrics is hotโ€ฆ if your mind is as dirty as mind is! Further confirmation that the breakfast isnโ€™t pancakes, eggs, sausage, etc.: โ€œSo hungry for you, taste me and Iโ€™ll taste you.โ€ Ultimately, โ€œSex for Breakfastโ€ is marvelous.ย  Yes, Aguilera needs to ensure sheโ€™s eating food too, but can you knock her for wanting the fun to continue? As she stated, theyโ€™ve already got it in during the night, so, why not go for another round?

Anuel AA, Emmanuel [๐Ÿ“ท: Sony]โ€œLo de nosotroโ€™ eโ€™ un secreto, que nadie se entere / Baby, yo siempre me vengo contigo cuando tรบ te viene.โ€ ย No, not everyone reds or understands Spanish, but what is clear onย ๐ŸŽต โ€œSecretoโ€ย is that there is a secret, sexually charged relationship.ย  Puerto Rican rapper/singer ๐ŸŽ™ย Anuel AAย and Colombian singer ๐ŸŽ™ย KAROL Gย (former boyfriend and girlfriend) shine on โ€œSecreto,โ€ which appears on AAโ€™s 2020 album,ย ๐Ÿ’ฟย Emmanuel.

Exclusively in Spanish, the steamy factor is elevated something fierce! Anuel constantly thinks with his pants, at one point asserting, he canโ€™t live without her sex.ย  Wow, what horn devil! The thing is, the feeling is mutual, as KAROL G echoes the sentiment! Of course, these two were once an item, so, makes sense. And, in the context of the song, and this compendium, important to remember that this relationship is SECRET!

๐Ÿ’ฟ Beyoncรฉ โ€ข ๐Ÿท Sony โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 2013

Beyoncรฉ, Beyoncรฉ [๐Ÿ“ท: Sony]โ€œLet me sit this ass on you, show you how I feel.โ€ ๐ŸŽ™ Beyoncรฉ shocked the world with her โ€˜visual album,โ€™ ๐Ÿ’ฟ Beyoncรฉ, released in 2013.ย  Beyoncรฉ was of the truly great contemporary R&B albums of the 2010s.ย  The sensual ๐ŸŽต โ€œRocketโ€, is all about making passionate love and of course, โ€˜blasting off.โ€™ย  โ€œI wanna show you now, slow it down, go around,โ€ she sings near the end of the first verse, continuing, โ€œYou rock hard, I rock steady.โ€ Phew!

On the chorus, things only grow more titillating as Bey encourages him to โ€œHold me โ€˜til I scream for air to breathe / And wash me over until my well runs dry / Send all your sins all over me, babe, over me.โ€ย  JESUS!ย  It doesnโ€™t stop there, folks! On the second verse, Mrs. Carter asserts, โ€œIโ€™m proud of all this bass, when you put it in your face.โ€ย  Thatโ€™s still just two of four verses, with the fourth being the most risquรฉ:

โ€œPunish me, please

Daddy, what you gonโ€™ do with all this ass.โ€

15. The Offspring, โ€œWe Never Have Sex Anymoreโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Let the Bad Times Roll โ€ข ๐Ÿท Wabi Sabi Worldwide LLC / Concord โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2021

The Offspring, Let the Bad Times Roll [๐Ÿ“ท: Wabi Sabi Worldwide LLC / Concord]โ€œWe never have sex anymore / We never roll around on the floor like we did so long ago.โ€ Hmm, intimacy issues, ๐ŸŽ™ The Offspring? ๐ŸŽต โ€œWe Never Have Sex Anymoreโ€, appearing on their 2021 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Let the Bad Times Roll, continues with more things that have changed within the relationship beyond the bedroom: โ€œYou never yell at me anymore / You never want to even the score like you did so long ago / But youโ€™re still with me so I guess Iโ€™m not complaining / And you always leave my dinner on the stove.โ€

Basically, it sounds as if the singer (or his character) and his wife are in a rut.ย  Itโ€™s not that they donโ€™t love and care for each other, but even the good and bad times have sort of just become neutral.ย  I mean, ๐ŸŽ™ Dexter Holland go so far as to sing, โ€œBaby please! / If you wonโ€™t love me, will you hate me? / If you wonโ€™t violate me, well, will you just at least aggravate me?โ€ Heโ€™s not seeking out abuse but rather desires more oomph, life, and within the relationship, like they once had.ย  Of course, as couples get older, one of the first things that falls by the wayside is sex, hence why The Offspring key-in on this.

โ€œWe used to do it constantly

We used to have a ball

We use to do it everywhere

We never do it at all.โ€

Besides he fun, sexless lyrics, the sound of the record is rad, with colorful sounds courtesy of horns and piano in addition to standard rock instrumentation.

16. Donna Summer, โ€œLove to Love You Babyโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Love to Love You Baby โ€ข ๐Ÿท UMG Recordings, Inc. โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 1975

Donna Summer, Love to Love You Baby [๐Ÿ“ท: UMG Recordings, Inc.]โ€œAh, I love to love you baby.โ€ One of the sexiest records of all time belongs to the late, great ๐ŸŽ™ Donna Summer.ย  Keeping it real, ๐ŸŽต โ€œLove to Love You Babyโ€ (๐Ÿ’ฟ Love to Love You Baby, 1975) is the musical equivalent of an orgasm.ย  Affirming the musical orgasm are prevalent sensual moans by Summer, sure to turn anyone on.ย  Couple those moans with that killer, rhythmic hi-hat and โ€œLove to Love You Babyโ€ is the perfect soundtrack to a lit sexual encounter.

While โ€œLove to Love You Babyโ€ avoids explicitness lyrically, it remains risquรฉ to date.ย  Again, itโ€™s those moans where Summer perfectly stimulates superb โ€˜love making.โ€™ Lyrically, there arenโ€™t many words, but Summer makes them worthwhile, painting a lustful picture.ย  โ€œWhen youโ€™re laying so close to me / Thereโ€™s no place Iโ€™d rather you be / Than with me,โ€ she sings calmly and coolly on the first verse.ย  She turns up the heat on the second, asserting, โ€œDo it to me again and again / You put me in such an awful spin.โ€ Oh, the power of the Dโ€ฆย  Again, Donna sings nothing offensive, but with those signature moans, sheโ€™d make anybody blush!

17. Kings of Leon, โ€œSex on Fireโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Only by the Night โ€ข ๐Ÿท RCA โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2008

Kings of Leon, Only by the Night [๐Ÿ“ท : RCA]โ€œYou! / Your sex is on fire / Consumed! / With whatโ€™s just transpired!โ€ Hmm, doesnโ€™t take deep thought to interpret what front man ๐ŸŽ™ Caleb Followill is singing about.ย  While it took ๐ŸŽ™ Kings of Leon a while, they finally managed to get wider recognition beginning with their 2008 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Only by the Night.ย  While โ€œUse Somebodyโ€ is the most decorated record from the LP, winning two ๐Ÿ† Grammys (including Record of the Year), ๐ŸŽต โ€œSex on Fireโ€ won a Grammy a year earlier for Best Rock Performance.

โ€œAll the commotion

The kiddie like play

It has people talkinโ€™

Talkinโ€™.โ€

โ€œSex on Fireโ€ is good old, throwback, gritty traditional rock, driven by red hot sex.

18. Marsha Ambrosius, โ€œ69โ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Friends & Lovers โ€ข ๐Ÿท RCA โ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 2014ย 

Marsha Ambrosius, Friends & Lovers [๐Ÿ“ท: RCA]โ€œNow get a taste of my flavour, Iโ€™ll return the favour.โ€ Holy moly! British R&B singer/songwriterย ๐ŸŽ™ Marsha Ambrosiusย doesnโ€™t hold back onย ๐ŸŽตย โ€œ69โ€, a titillating standout from her 2014 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟย Friends & Lovers. Clearly, Marsha and her partner are going to please each other simultaneouslyโ€ฆ Prior to those highlights from the pre-chorus, Marsha sets the mood, and itโ€™s a sexed-up, NSFW vibe, referencing undressing and Stiletto heels. On the second verse, she gets nasty: โ€œTake your clothes off / Fuck me till you forget, then I blackout, blow my back out.โ€ Da-yum!

On the chorus, she lays out the sex, with some help courtesy of aย ๐ŸŽ™ Lukeย /ย ๐ŸŽ™ 2 Live Crewย sampleย (๐ŸŽตย โ€œFace Down, Ass Upโ€). โ€œSixty-nine / I stay on your mind, you stay on my mind,โ€ she sings, adding, โ€œYou know you put it down / Face down, ass up, thatโ€™s the way we like to fuck.โ€ For good measure, the bridge is steamy AF: โ€œI might not come at all, but you do.โ€ This lustful gem was produced by ๐ŸŽ›ย DaInternz, perfectly capturing excellent S-E-X.

19. Stephen Puth, โ€œSexual Vibeโ€

Stephen Puth, Sexual Vibe [๐Ÿ“ท: Arista]โ€œYour effort so effortless / So, donโ€™t move too fast / Cause I like it when ya / Fuck with me reckless / And Iโ€™mma give it right back / Make the tension last likeโ€ฆโ€ Woo! There is another musical member of the Puth family, just in case you werenโ€™t aware! In late 2018, ๐ŸŽ™ย Stephen Puthย dived into sexual matters on ๐ŸŽตย โ€œSexual Vibeโ€.ย 

Stephen clearly separates himself from his older bro, Charlie.ย  His vocals are noticeably deeper, characterized by more bass โ€“ a more masculine quality. His approach is rather chill and effortless, never over-singing or over-indulging. Sure, โ€œSexual Vibeโ€ is a vibe, but a bit more lyrical contrast couldโ€™ve really โ€˜sealed the dealโ€™ โ€“ Haha!ย

20. Grace Jones, โ€œPull Up to the Bumperโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Nightclubbing โ€ข ๐Ÿท UMG Recordings, Inc. โ€ข ๐Ÿ—“ 1981ย 

Grace Jones, Nightclubbing [๐Ÿ“ท : UMG Recordings, Inc.]โ€œNow in the parking lot garage, I found the proper place / Just follow all the written rules, youโ€™ll fit into the space.โ€ Hmm, ๐ŸŽ™ Grace Jones, doesnโ€™t seem like youโ€™re really talking about parking a car.ย  Though Jones has suggested that ๐ŸŽต โ€œPull Up to the Bumperโ€ wasnโ€™t necessarily intended to reference anal sex, itโ€™s hard not to read into that way.

โ€œPull up to my bumper baby

In your long black limousine

Pull up to my bumper baby

And drive it in between.โ€

Hmm, a โ€œlong, black limousineโ€ huh? Sure sounds like a reference to size, as well as ethnicity.ย  The post-chorus is also dirty, as Ms. Jones sings, โ€œPull up to it / Donโ€™t drive through it / Back it up twice / Now that fits nice.โ€ Mercy!ย  In the second verse, Jones goes on to say, โ€œIโ€™ve got to blow your horn.โ€ Not so subtle there.ย  Thereโ€™s also the bridge, where she encourages to โ€œGrease it, spray it / Let me lubricate it.โ€ย  My oh my! Grace Jones really wants us to believe โ€œPull Up to the Bumperโ€ isnโ€™t sexual AF? Please! This record screams sex and the fact that she mentions her โ€˜bumper,โ€™ well, sure sounds like anal.ย  The good news is, โ€œPull Up to the Bumperโ€ is rad.

21. Marvin Gaye, โ€œSexual Healingโ€

๐Ÿ’ฟ Midnight Love โ€ข ๐Ÿท Sony Music Entertainmentโ€ข ๐Ÿ“… 1982

Marvin Gaye, Midnight Love [๐Ÿ“ท: Sony Music Entertainment]โ€œBaby, Iโ€™m hot just like an oven / I need some lovinโ€™.โ€ What more can you say but da-yum, thatโ€™s hot! Okay, two words: ๐ŸŽต โ€œSexual Healingโ€! Enough said! The title expresses all the listener needs to know. Clearly, sex is therapeutic, particularly in the hands of iconic soul artist ๐ŸŽ™ Marvin Gaye.ย  This comeback effort by Mr. Gaye is lit to the nth degree โ€“ groovy, marvelously performed, and of course S-E-X-Y!

โ€œAnd when I get that feeling

I want sexual healing

Sexual healing is good for me

Makes me feel so fine, itโ€™s such a rush

Helps to relieve the mind, and itโ€™s good for us.โ€

Agreed! If โ€œSexual Healingโ€ itself isnโ€™t enough to stimulate you by itself, just listen to the entirety of ๐Ÿ’ฟ Midnight Love. Gaye is totally fueled by the universal three-letter word.ย
