Jason Derulo, Slow Low | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 23^rd edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Slow Low” by Jason Derulo.   

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 23^rd edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Slow Low” by Jason Derulo.

Jason Derulo – what a handsome man 😍. That “Wiggle” music video still sufficiently titillates a decade after the release of Talk Dirty.  That said, Derulo is, or at least he released, Nu King in February 2024.  Among the 27 (!) songs on the 80-minute LP was the sexy “Slow Low”. “Slow Low,” the 15^th track, was written by eight writers (including Derulo) and produced by Pink Slip. The instrumental is colorful with its Latin vibes, which further amplify the sexiness – the midnight heat generated! Does Derulo deserve to get a pink slip for this song? That would be a resounding, HELL NO!

“Let me hit in slow motion / If you keep it up, girl, I’ma run out of Trojans.” Da-yum, Jason! Those are the opening lines of the first verse of the song, which tells you exactly where he’s going with “Slow Low.” He adds, in the same verse, “I know you couldn’t wait to bust it wide open.” Holy shite! Matters of tempo continue to compel in the pre-chorus, where the tempo goes slow, then, “She ride me faster and faster…” and he wants her to slow it down – enjoy the experience of the sex as long as possible.  After all, he can only hold it so long 😈. Fittingly, in the second verse, he’s impressed with her skills, citing her Pilates, the fact she “ride like Ferrari,” and the fact “Better hit the brake, brake, tryna make it to the mornin’.” The point is, the sexual innuendo, and sex itself is ripe AF.  The gimmicky “Slow Low” is by no means transcendent, but it’s fun and with the super sexy, versatile pipes and personality of Jason Derulo, it’s irresistibly delicious, baby!
