‘You4Me’
‘You4Me’ adopts the classic R&B style of the 90s but is flavoured with Afrobeats.
A two-verse track, the song opens with Tamia’s famous lines, “I like what you’ve done to me/I can’t explain it/I am so into you.”
From there, it breaks into a mid-tempo beat, and Tiwa brings her magic.
Like Tamia’s song, Tiwa sings about being enchanted by her love interest.
She sings: “I’m down to do what you want to/Should I be with a bit of fun?/Yeah, show me what you really want/Nobody do me as good as you.
In the second verse, the mother of one continues on her love quest, promising to be a keeper..
“Caesar, call you my Caesar/I’m still a diva, but I’m a keeper/It’s your ability, for stability/How you keep me held in captivity oh me like it/You know I’m for real,” she sings.
Queen of remixes
“Into You” is a phrase from Tamia’s song featured prominently in Tiwa’s.
One of the defining songs of the ’90s R&B era, Tamia’s ‘So Into You’ has its roots in The Commodores’ 1978 song, ‘Say Yeah’.
