Tension is building with drinks
I wanna know what you're thinking
Hoping you’re getting the hints
Getting more obvious with them
Who'll be making the move?
Feels kinda weird when it's you and I
And I
[Pre-Chorus: MC Zaac with Tove Lo]
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, danada
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, malandra
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, me arranha
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, na manha
[Chorus: Tove Lo]
Our bodies tangled tight in the purple light
We’re making love, passed out, we look so damn good tonight
And Sunday's shining in, feel the shame coming
You don't belong to me
Are you gonna tell her?
Our bodies tangled tight in the purple light
We're making love, passed out, we look so damn good tonight
And Sunday's shining in, feel the shame coming
You don't belong to me
Are you gonna tell her?
Ih, fico malucão, malucão, e aí?
Pura tentação quando senta aqui
Nesse jogo de perigo que mexe comigo
Quando eu tô contigo é tesão, não dá pra resistir
Você joga só de sacanagem
Quando chega cheia de maldade
Lance perigoso é mais gostoso
Nossa pegação é nível hard
[Pre-Chorus: MC Zaac with Tove Lo]
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, danada
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, malandra
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, me arranha
Boom, toca aqui, boom, senta aqui, boom, na manha
[Chorus: Tove Lo]
Our bodies tangled tight in the purple light
We're making love, passed out, we look so damn good tonight
And Sunday's shining in, feel the shame coming
You don’t belong to me
Are you gonna tell her?
Our bodies tangled tight (Tangled tight) in the purple light
We’re making love, passed out, we look so damn good tonight
And Sunday's shining in, feel the shame coming (Coming)
You don’t belong to me (No, no)
Are you gonna tell her?
Ah, yeah
Are you gonna tell her?
Are you gonna tell her?
Que brisa, hein, mano?
Are you gonna tell her?
Are you?
Are you gonna tell her?

This came out of a drunken experimental session with Ludvig and Jakob. They played the track and I said, ‘This is f**king awesome. What do we do on this?’ The song is about a guilt hook-up and making mistakes. I really wanted to work with a Brazilian artist because I have so much love for Brazil; Mc Zaac was someone that a lot of people recommended. We listened to his music and felt that his voice would be perfect. It was tricky, because he doesn’t speak English, and none of his team did either. We ended up finding someone to translate a very interesting session on FaceTime.”
