Victoria Monét, Almost → Spicy Tunez

In the 65^th edition of Spicy Tunez (2026), we explore the eyebrow-raising, naughty, sexed-up vibes behind “Almost” by Victoria Monét.

Aww, shee-it! Prepare to be shooketh! Spicy Tunez is a column filled with naughty, sometimes controversial, and NSFW songs 👀.  Some songs merely dabble in innuendo and suggestiveness.  Others, however, go whole hog and embrace a give-no-fucks aesthetic, thrive on sexual endeavors, utter shock value, and sometimes find themselves firmly embroiled in censorship… DUN, DUN, DUN! In the 65^th edition of Spicy Tunez (2026), we explore the eyebrow-raising, naughty, sexed-up vibes behind “Almost” by Victoria Monét.

“I want to cum tonight / If it’s really ladies first.” 👀 Damn, Victoria Monét! The Grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter continues in the first verse of “Almost,” “Let me cum first tonight / I know it’s what I deserve.” And again, I say, damn! “Almost” is the steamy sixth track from Monét’s sophomore album, Frequency Of Love, released in 2026. Monét composed the song with Camper (Darhyl Camper Jr.), D’Mile (Dernst Emile II), Thomas Westly Lumpkins, Shelly Peiken, and Guy Roche. D’Mile and Camper produced it.

If “Almost” sounds familiar at certain moments, it’s because it samples lyrics from Brandy’s 1998 song, “Almost Doesn’t Count”. Victoria Monét delivers beautiful, sensual vocals.  A lush, sophisticated backdrop accompanies her that’s also sensual in sound. There is no shortage of spicy, steamy moments from “Almost.” “And baby, yes, I know this pussy got that grip,” she sings salaciously in the pre-chorus.  In the second verse, she implores her partner, “Baby, put it down, down (Down, down, down).” Cue up the 😈 emojis! The chorus is the centerpiece, continuing to turn up the naughtiness:

“You’re running away (Don’t run away)

No stopping allowed (Stopping allowed)

I fuck with the things (Fuck with the things)

You do with your mouth (Do with your mouth)

I almost came (Came) so loud (So loud)

But everybody knows that almost doesn’t count.”

Did you peep that ‘almost’ part 👀! “Almost” is sophisticated in sound. Yet those lyrics – naughty, naughty, naughty! Regardless, this is one of the finest moments from Frequency of Love.  Monét ‘brings the heat’ with this sizzling track!
