Theme & Lyrics ✍ 

“Bad bitch, I could be your fantasy (Yeah) / I can tell you got big dick energy (Uh-huh).” Oh, $hi†! 🎙 Latto! There’s no doubt in the least that there’s ample energy on 🎵 “Big Energy”, a breakout record for the rapper.  Released in 2021, “Big Energy” ultimately appeared on her 2022 album, 💿 777.  So, how much energy did this BDE-heavy track have on the charts? Well, “Big Energy” peaked at no. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also spent a total of 51 weeks on the chart, which is huge, and we know SIZE MATTERS!

Featuring bold, sexual, and unapologetic lyrics, “Big Energy” has no shortage of personality. “I’ma bust it on a pole like Onyx (Ooh) / I’m just bein’ honest (Uh-huh),” she asserts in the colorful first verse, continuing in raunchy fashion, “Pussy juicy, Minute Maid (Oh) / But can’t do it one minute, man (Hell no).” Gah-day-um! The second verse is also sexually charged: “Blindfold (Yeah), tie me to the bed (Yeah), while we roleplay (yeah) / Can’t skip foreplay, kill the pussy cold case.” Ah, snap! The chorus, of course, is the BIGGEST attraction, excerpted at the top and seen below in its ROBUST entirety:

“Bad bitch, I could be your fantasy (Yeah)

I can tell you got big dick energy (Uh-huh)

It ain’t too many niggas that can handle me (Yeah)

But I might let you try it off the Hennessy (Uh)

Make ‘em sing to this pussy like a melody (Make ’em sang)

And if your bitch ain’t right, I got the remedy (Ooh)

It ain’t too many niggas that can handle me (Ayy)

Bad bitch, I could be your fantasy (Ayy, ayy).”

Besides the lyrics, one thing that also can’t be failed to mention is the samples.  The big inspiration is 🎵 “Genius of Love” courtesy of 🎙 Tom Tom Club.  Also, how about a little 🎙 Mariah Carey featuring 🎙 Ol’ Dirty Bastard with 🎵 “Fantasy (Bad Boy Fantasy)”.

Final Thoughts 💭

With such awesome ingredients – the lyrics, samples, production, personality, rhymes, and of course, big dick energy – it’s unsurprising that 🎵 “Big Energy” was such a hit and surefire bop.   It can’t be overemphasized that SIZE MATTERS, right? Da-yum right!
