In the 27^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz (2025), we break down “Wet Tennis” performed by Sofi Tukker.

“Come play with me / It’s about to get freaky / Bring your hips to life.” Oh, snap! Hmm, “Wet Tennis”  must be different from plain old tennis, Sofi Tukker! The dance pop duo (Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern) spice up the sport with sexual innuendo and double entendre.  Sofi Tukker composed “Wet Tennis” alongside producer John Hume.  Hume produced with Bynon and Andres Levin.

It is not only the lyrics that make “Wet Tennis” intriguing.  The music ‘kicks ass and takes names.’ The instrumentation includes a trumpet (Luis Fernándo Chávez) and an organ (Daniel Flores), which adds a mean punch.  Furthermore, the percussive groove (Gilmar Gomez) fuels the funky fire.  Sophie sets the tone, drawing first blood in the first verse (“Honestly, if somebody knew everything that I know / I think that everybody would be coming to my château”).  Then, she unveils the pre-chorus, excerpted at the top.  Her and Tucker (parenthesized) collaborate in the infectious chorus:

“So, what are you waiting for?

(It’s your serve)

Won’t you come on over?

(The ball’s in your court)

If it’s one on one, if it’s two on two

I wanna play wet tennis all night with you.”

Has tennis ever sounded more compelling? Memorably, Sophie asks Tucker “What’s the score” in the second verse, to which he memorably responds, “It’s love, love.” Of course, it is . Sofi Tukker delivers an epic bop with “Wet Tennis”.
