Ah, you know what time it is! It’s 3 to 5 BOPS time – WOO! On 3 to 5 BOPS, it’s all about brevity and sweetness… for the most part! There’s a theme/topic, 3, 4, or 5 songs, and a blurb – two paragraphs or less. 3 to 5 BOPS, hence, is a mini playlist that shouldn’t take much time to consume. In the 23rd edition of 3 to 5 BOPS (2023), we select songs that are associated with GOOD in some form or fashion. The BOPS arrive courtesy of 🎙 City Girls, 🎙 Mary J. Blige, 🎙 Olivia Rodrigo, 🎙 Pastor Mike Jr., and 🎙 Wrabel. Okay, let’s get into it!
1. Pastor Mike Jr., “So Good”
💿 Impossible • 🏷 Worldwide Music • 📅 2023
Appears in 🔻:
2. Olivia Rodrigo, “good 4 u”
💿 Sour • 🏷 Geffen • 📅 2021

3. Mary J. Blige, “Good Morning Gorgeous”
💿 Good Morning Gorgeous • 🏷 Mary Jane Productions Inc • 📅 2022
“I wake up every morning and tell myself
‘Good morning gorgeous’
Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say,
‘Good morning gorgeous’
No one else can make me feel this way
‘Good morning gorgeous.’”
Worth noting, “Good Morning Gorgeous” was written by an elite team, including Blige, 🎼 ✍ D’Mile, and H.E.R.. As far as the production (D’Mile and H.E.R.), the sound embodies slow, soulful R&B with old-school vibes. I love the use of a lilting, six-eight meter as well as a robust bass line. Blige sounds potent and powerful as ever. This song plays to her strengths, reminding us why she’s among the best in the game.

4. City Girls, “Good Love” (Ft. Usher)
🎵 “Good Love” • 🏷 Quality Control Music / UMG Recordings, Inc. • 🗓 2022
Usher gets it started, hyping things up on the intro, before dropping the centerpiece, the chorus. Expectedly, the chorus is sexed-up, as he clearly thinks with his pants: “Wanna lay down, make you fall in love / All the freaky things that I can do / I can freak you ‘til the mornin’ / Get on top and ride on it.” Woo! Of course, both City Girls aren’t overdone when it comes to sex. Yung Miami asserts she’s “Showin’ my coochie print / Crop top, no bra, bitch.” As for JT, in the second verse, she makes it clear, “We ain’t shakin’ ass for niggas with no cheese / And we ain’t pullin’ up for niggas with no keys.” Shallow, but true! She’s truly lit at the end of her verse, asserting, “He want a good girl, that’s too bad / I’m so cunty, I’m too bad.” Day-um!!! “Good Love” is a surefire vibe and a surefire winner!

5. Wrabel, “good”
💿 these words are all for you • 🏷 Big Gay / Nettwerk Music Group • 📅 2021
“You see the end before the thing get started,” Wrabel sings in the second verse, adding, “You always bracing for the fall.” Often, if we’ve experienced adversity, particularly with love, we anticipate the worst. Wrabel wants to dissuade his partner against this – ruining what they’re building: “I know you still see him in your apartment / Let me in, I’ll paint the walls.” By the second chorus in particular, “good” has grown much grander, as Wrabel masterfully delivers a message filled with prudence and the utmost dedication. The “ooh-ooh(s)” of the post-chorus only amplify the excellence of this utterly sublime gem from this pop standout.
