[Verse 1]
I just need to express myself, oh
When I feel the beat
It's like there’s no one else, no

[Pre Chorus 1]
See me in the club, underneath the lights
Thinking that you know me, like I'll give you the time
Hear it in the drums, try to catch my vibe
Feeling for the double bubble, I got what you like

I, I'm on a roll (On a roll, I’m on a roll)
Don't even try, fuck with my flow

[Chorus]
I don't need nobody on me
I don't want no one to call me
You can watch me getting naughty
I'll be dancing for my lonely
Keep your hands up off me
I'm just trying to move my body
You can watch me getting naughty
When I'm dancing for my lonely
Underneath the lights

[Post-Chorus]
Underneath the lights
Underneath the lights

[Verse 2]
Trying to get a me
Go ahead, run that game (ru-run that game, r-ru-run that game)
Loving what you see
All you boys the same (hmm)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
See me in the club, underneath the lights
Thinking that you know me, like I'll give you the time
Hear it in the drums (yeah), try to catch my vibe (oh)
Feeling for that double bubble, it won’t be tonight

I, I’m on a roll (Yeah, I'm on a roll, I’m on a roll)
Don't even try, fuck with my flow (On a roll, I'm on a roll)

[Chorus]
I don't need nobody on me
I don’t want no one to call me
You can watch me getting naughty
I'll be dancing for my lonely
Keep your hands up off me
I'm just trying to move my body
You can watch me getting naughty
When I'm dancing for my lonely
Underneath the lights

[Post-Chorus]
Underneath the lights
Underneath the lights

[Bridge]
I, I'm on a roll
Don't even try, fuck with my flow

[Chorus]
I don't need nobody on me
I don't want no one to call me
You can watch me getting naughty
I'll be dancing for my lonely
Keep your hands up off me (Off me)
I'm just trying to move my body (My body)
You can watch me getting naughty
When I'm dancing for my lonely
Underneath the lights

[Outro]
Underneath the lights
Underneath the lights (oh, ohh)
Underneath the lights (oh, yeah, yeah)
Underneath the lights
Underneath the lights

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.
