Stormzy Firebabe

Following his appearance on the soundtrack for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Stormzy’s back with his latest single, “Firebabe.” The UK rapper’s new single is the latest in his rollout for his forthcoming album, This Is What I Mean, due out on November 25th. Last month, he announced the project and shared the first official single, “Hide & Seek.”

The rapper said the song was in collaboration with singer/songwriter Debbie, who recently signed to Def Jam.

“It’s a song about that first spark when you meet your partner and how it feels. That first time, when you’re really observant of them,” he said in an interview with i-D magazine. He explained that “Firebabe” found him committing to singing more than ever. “I want to sing how Stevie sings, or Frank Ocean, or Whitney. I mean I’ll never be able to sing like Whitney but I can sing my way.”

Lyrics

[Intro: Debbie Ehirim]
Stealin’ all their hearts, yeah
Stealin’ all their hearts, yeah
Stealin’ all their hearts, yeah
Stealin’ all their hearts, yeah

[Verse 1: Stormzy]
She was standin’ in her dress
And she was lookin’ like an angel
Her eyes took away my breath
And that’s when I knew she was mine until the end

[Pre-Chorus: Stormzy]
My miracle
My happy place
My heart and soul
Forever yours

[Chorus: Stormzy & Debbie Ehirim]
‘Cause I, I just can’t explain
Even in the way, you love me with your flame (Flame)
My firebabe (Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)
You keep burnin’ bright
Touch me with your name, and I’ll be with your flame
My firebabe

[Verse 2: Stormzy, Debbie Ehirim & Both]
She makes (Hmm), everybody laugh (Everybody laugh)
Then she starts dancin’ on the table (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
She can’t stop stealin’ all their hearts (Stealin’ all their—, ooh-ooh-ooh)
How she lights up a room, somethin’ to behold (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Stormzy & Debbie Ehirim]
My miracle
My happy place
My heart and soul
Forever yours

[Chorus: Stormzy & Debbie Ehirim]
‘Cause I, I just can’t explain (I just can’t explain)
Even in the way (Even in the way)
You love me with your flame (Love me with your flame)
My firebabe (Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)
You keep burnin’ bright
Touch me with your name (Touch me with your name)
And I’ll be with your flame (Your flame, your flame)
My firebabe

[Outro: Debbie Ehirim]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh, hmm)
