Turn me up, uh
Turn me up
[Verse 1: Normani]
Phone ringin', it's you, I'm on that time
You on it too, what's on your mind? I'm on it too (Ooh, brrt)
Call me, I come through, I fantasize
You want it two times on the side, clocks in the rooms (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus: Normani]
Back on that vibe again
It's hard to fight again
Shit, we can't hide again
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus: Normani]
When I get you alone
Boy, what you gon' do with it? (Shh)
Don't talk too much, just do this shit
Boy, what you gon' do with it? Yeah
When I get you alone
Boy, what you gon' do with it? (Shh)
Don't talk too much, just do this shit
Boy, what you gon' do?
What you gon' do with it?
I can tell you off top, girl, you gon' like the things I do (Do)
Sexy, camera shy, couldn't leave, she melt when it's hot in the room (The room)
Fuckin', we made love to tunes, fuckin' shrooms
Lock you to the bed, don't let you move
Baby, help me heal the pain (Heal the pain)
This don't feel like lust and I feel love in my veins (Veins)
Who this for? Tell me, babe (Tell me, babe, who this for?)
We made love on just the chemistry, keep me sane
[Pre-Chorus: Normani & Gunna]
Back on that vibe again (Back on that vibe again)
It's hard to find again (It's hard to find again)
Shit, we can't hide again (Shit, we can't hide again)
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus: Normani]
When I get you alone (When I)
Boy, what you gon' do with it? (When I, mm, shh)
Don't talk too much, just do this shit
Boy, what you gon' do? (What you gon' do with it?)
What you gon' do with it? (Brrt)
[Bridge: Normani]
Text me where you at, let me know you back, gets me every time
Know I love to do things my way, baby, and you let me every time
Spent a long time tryna get away, baby, but you catch me every time
When you text me, "Where you at," lettin' me know you back, gets me every time
When I get you alone (Alone, when I)
Boy, what you gon' do with it? (Oh, what you gonna do with it? Mm, shh)
Don't talk too much, just do this shit
Boy, what you gon' do with it? Yeah (What you gon' do with it?)
When I get you alone (Yeah)
Boy, what you gon' do with it? (Ah, ah, shh)
Don't talk too much, just do this shit (Shit)
Boy, what you gon' do? (Do whatever you wanna do)
What you gon' do with it?
[Outro: Normani]
Yeah
It's here for you to do what you wanna do
Mm

It felt like it bridged the gap from ‘Wild Side’ to where I am now. It feels cohesive, it made sense, but it felt like an evolved version of. [Gunna and I] met at a football game. We wanted to do a record together, and he loved it. It was immediate. He sounds really good, and I think it’s a pocket that’s different for him, which I feel like I always love to do. It was really dope to hear his chameleon. It’s sexy, it’s sensual. I am a 27-year-old woman, and it’s just me owning my sexuality, but in my way. [About the title 1:59] If you know, you know.
– via Billboard interview
“1:59” with Gunna actually came about because we were both at a football game at SoFi; and I written to him, he written to me. I was like: “Yo, I’m a really big fan”. He was like: “Yo, same”. We were like to getting in it together and so that’s exactly what happened. Then we worked on [“$$$”] for his project and in the same session I actually played “1:59” and he loved it. He loved it, and the rest is history.
