1. Drake, “Way 2 Sexy”

Ft. Future & Young Thug

💿 Certified Lover Boy • 🏷 OVO / Republic • 📅 2021

“I’m too sexy for this syrup / Too sexy for you girl / Too sexy for this world…” Woo! 🎵 “Way 2 Sexy” ends up being one of the bangers that stands out on 💿 Certified Lover Boy, the sixth studio album by 🏆 Grammy-winning, Canadian rapper/singer, 🎙 Drake. The fact that “Way 2 Sexy” ends up being a banger is a bit surprising considering it samples the corny 🎙 Right Said Fred classic, 🎵 “I’m Too Sexy”.  Yes, you can hear the infectious “I’m too sexy for my shirt” on the intro, before 🎙 Future delivers the excerpted, confident chorus.

In addition to being joined by Future, 🎙 Young Thug comes along for the ride too.  Future, again, plays a sizable role on the repetitive, ‘far too sexy’ chorus, as well as dropping the second verse.  As you’d expect, it’s not only ‘sexy’ but drippy and druggy. As for Young Thug, on the third verse, he’s true to self in all his idiosyncrasy: “I been kickin’ shit (Woah, woah), might need a prosthetic (Yeah).”  Drake, of course, drops the first verse, which includes the ‘thoughtful’ line, “And I’m way too sexy to go unprotected.” Following chart domination, “Way 2 Sexy” earned Drake another no. 1 hit.  It’s amazing what sexiness will do for you.

2. Nick Jonas, “Sexual”

💿 Spaceman • 🏷 Island • 📅 2021

“Head back / Marvin Gaye on the track / Let’s keep it going / Till 5:00 in the morning.” Amazingly, 🎙 Nick Jonas avoids being explicit on his 2021 solo album, 💿 Spaceman.  That said, he doesn’t avoid thinking with his pants, as you’d expect to be the case on 🎵 “Sexual.” “I love to watch you, baby.” Ooh wee!

Clearly, what she’s putting out is lit, as he is freaky throughout.  The freakiness is exemplified through numerous examples such as “All the mirrors in the room,” the “soaked bed,” or being “tongue tied” and following “Your neck down to your thighs…” SEXY and sexual indeed (and satisfying).

3. Demi Lovato, “Sexy Dirty Love”

💿 Tell Me You Love Me • 🏷 Hollywood / Island • 📅 2017

“You’re my new obsession / Let go of any hesitation / Baby, be my new addiction / Intoxicate me gently with your loving.” 🎵 “Sexy Dirty Love” ranks as one of the best moments from 💿 Tell Me You Love Me, the 2017 album by 🎙 Demi Lovato.  “Dirty Sexy Love” doesn’t usurp “Sorry Not Sorry” – the ace-in-the-hole from Tell Me You Love Me – but it’s awesome!

“Sexy Dirty Love” is groovy AF, featuring slick production work, courtesy of 🎛 Warren “Oak” Felder, 🎛 “Downtown” Trevor Brown, and 🎛 William Simmons.  Musically, as well as lyrically, “Sexy Dirty Love” is fun and upbeat.  Expectedly, it’s suggestive, but not explicit.

“You got me so high
Pull me closer into you and watch our bodies intertwine
I feel so alive
You know what I’m thinking of
Got me dreamin’ ‘bout that sexy, dirty love.”

Ultimately, there are no glaring cons – it’s a rad record!

4. Rihanna, “Sex with Me”

💿 Anti • 🏷 Roc Nation • 📅 2016

“Sex 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.”  Sigh, there are plenty of men who have fantasized about hooking up with 🎙 Rihanna – just keeping it 100. On 🎵 “Sex with Me” from her 2016 album, 💿 Anti, she’s explicit about the sexual experience.

A prime example is the first verse, in which she sings, “Five fingers on it / Hit it like you own it, I’ma hit it like I’m on it.” She later closes the verse asserting, “I’ma get it wet like jacuzzi, ah-yea.” Hmm, wonder where she’s going with that… Rihanna’s confidence only soars on the second verse:

“Sex with me is amazing, with her it’ll feel alright
The sex doesn’t get any better, make it long, let it be all night.”

5. The Offspring, “We Never Have Sex Anymore”

💿 Let the Bad Times Roll • 🏷 Wabi Sabi Worldwide LLC / Concord • 📅 2021

“We never have sex anymore / We never roll around on the floor like we did so long ago.” Hmm, intimacy issues, 🎙 The Offspring? 🎵 “We Never Have Sex Anymore”, appearing on their 2021 album, 💿 Let the Bad Times Roll, continues with more things that have changed within the relationship beyond the bedroom: “You never yell at me anymore / You never want to even the score like you did so long ago / But you’re still with me so I guess I’m not complaining / And you always leave my dinner on the stove.”

Basically, it sounds as if the singer (or his character) and his wife are in a rut.  It’s not that they don’t love and care for each other, but even the good and bad times have sort of just become neutral.  I mean, 🎙 Dexter Holland go so far as to sing, “Baby please! / If you won’t love me, will you hate me? / If you won’t violate me, well, will you just at least aggravate me?” He’s not seeking out abuse but rather desires more oomph, life, and within the relationship, like they once had.  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.

“We used to do it constantly
We used to have a ball
We use to do it everywhere
We never do it at all.”

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.
