[Verse 1]
(Wait, now)
Time for me to turn the lights down
Night falls cover me in violet circles
I'm finally down totally on
All the way ready to go
You're finally here, just for the night
So I'mma make sure that you know

[Hook]
I'll make it so you won't forget it
I'm gone get when you least expect it
Oh, you ain't going nowhere now that
I'm gone hit you with my secret weapon oh

[Verse 2]
Man down screaming in the hallway, so loud
Reppin' all night, victim of another love crime
I'm keeping your mind totally off
All that you wish you had done
You're finally here the past is behind
Forever's begun, begun

[Hook]
I'll make it so you won't forget it
I'm gone get when you least expect it
Oh, you ain't going nowhere now that
I'm gone hit you with my secret weapon oh

[Verse 3]
Bet you can't handle it
Something in my mind tells me you can't handle it
Bet you can't handle it
But if your man enough you better show you love it
Like yeah, like yeah, yeah, like yeah

[Hook]
I'll make it so you won't forget it
I'm gone get when you least expect it
Oh, you ain't going nowhere now that
I'm gone hit you with my secret weapon oh
I'll make it so you won't forget it
I'm gone get when you least expect it
Oh, you ain't going nowhere now that
I'm gone hit you with my secret weapon oh
I'll make it so you won't forget it
I'm gone get when you least expect it
Oh, you ain't going nowhere now that
I'm gone hit you with my secret weapon oh

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
