Player (Remix) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tinashe]
Live life like if I want, I do
If I want love, I get it (get it, I get it)
Fooled me twice, if I fall for you
If I go there, forget it

[Pre-Chorus: Tinashe]
So you better stay up, player
Yeah, you better keep up, player
'Cause tonight is a game-changer
So you better stay up, player

[Verse 2: Tinashe]
Playing with fire, if I burn, you do
If I hurt, you won't let it (you won't let it)
Stacked my deck like I ain't gon' lose
Like a victim, forget it

[Pre-Chorus: Tinashe]
So you better stay up, player
Yeah, you better keep up, player
'Cause tonight is a game-changer
So you better stay up, up, player

[Chorus: Tinashe]
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all messed up?
Yeah, you got me holding back, holding back
But it ain't enough
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all messed up?
Yeah, you got me holding back, holding back
'Cause it ain't enough

[Verse 3: AK-69]
All right, baby girl
Rap in Japanese

[Pre-Chorus: Tinashe & AK-69]
So you better stay up, player
Yeah, you better keep up, player
Cause tonight is a game-changer
So you better stay up, up, player

[Chorus: Tinashe & AK-69]
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all messed up?
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
But it ain't enough
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all messed up?
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
'Cause it ain't enough

[Chorus: Tinashe & AK-69]
You and I make so much love (I been wanna give up, nah)
Player (but you're making it rough, nah)
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back (you got me holdin' back, ooh yeah)
You and I make so much love (I been wanna give up, nah)
Player (but you're making it rough, nah)
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
'Cause it ain't enough

[Outro: Tinashe]
(Ain't enough)
Player
(Ain't enough)

About

“Player” is a promo single by singer-songwriter Tinashe. The official radio/video version included vocals from Chris Brown.

Initially meant to be the lead single from her sophomore album Joyride, the chart failure of the song meant the singer eventually released 5 more promo singles before deciding on “No Drama” as the official first single from the LP. The main version of the song did however appear on pressings of the final album, featuring vocals from AK-69 in place of Chris Brown.

An EP was released to digital media to promote the single, featuring 6 official remixes. The original solo version was also released to Spotify and the Luca Lush Remix to Beatport.

The song was produced by Max Martin /Wolf Cousins-associates Alexander Kronlund and Lukas Loules, who the singer also worked with on the track “Prisoner”, recorded during initial Joyride sessions, as well as the Fifth Harmony promo singles “That’s My Girl” and “The Life”.
