Roy Woods Touch You

Roy Woods, who occupies the dreamy songwriter spot in the OVO roster, is back in time for the summer with an intimate R&B slow jam. The song sees Woods reaching for a distant lover and fantasizing about summer love. Woods’ impressive and comforting vocals soar over decadent synths that drive the moody ballad. The percussion is familiar yet constant– not taking away the focus from Woods’ vocals and vibe-setting melodies while driving the momentum of the song. This is a well-known approach for Woods, who has spent the years after his 2015 breakout single “Drama” honing in on this signature sound.

This new single follows up the quarantine inspired Dem Times EP that the singer released in 2020. The EP tackled the struggles and societal reckonings spurred on by the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic– taking on everything from everyday hardships to large-scale inequality.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I think I need a
A little bit of inspiration
When can we meet up?
So I can come and sex you, baby
Lil’ mamacita
I’m tryna get you down with us
Oh, you know the kids up
Picture me, you and a villa, oh

[Chorus]
Fuck a COVID-19
Long as I get to see that body on the beach, oh
In your lil’ two-piece
Tryna see you in the Bahamas, under the sheets, oh
You’re the one that I need (I need)
Chills in your body when I touch you like this, ooh
When I touch you like this (Touch you like this)
Tell the truth, ain’t nobody touch you like this, ooh

[Verse 2]
Ooh, how it feel we ridin’ legit?
I’m tryna chill (Yeah)
I’m just tryna get outside quick
Get you off your phone
All you do is scroll through your Gram
You need to get out your crib
Baby, can’t lie, I’m convinced
Quarantine got shorty in her feels
Tryna stack some money, not the bills
Baby got it poppin’ where she lives
Why was it my heart you had to steal?
Got me spendin’ hunnid dollar bills
We both can’t leave the 6ix
And shorty’s on her own

[Bridge]
Lockdown, lockdown with a body like that
Shawty gon’ lock with the sound like that
She’s a night owl, oh, you’re just like me
Tell me pull up, I’m there
But I know you lockdown, lockdown with a body like that
Shawty gon’ lock with the sound like that
She’s a night owl, oh, you’re just like me
Told me pull up, I’m there
Shawty got her friends screamin’ out (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Fuck a COVID-19
Long as I get to see that body on the beach, oh
In your lil’ two-piece
Tryna see you in the Bahamas, under the sheets, oh
You’re the one that I need (I need)
Chills in your body when I touch you like this, ooh
When I touch you like this (Touch you like this)
Tell the truth, ain’t nobody touch you like this, ooh

[Outro]
(Fuck a COVID-19)
