Music to F*ck to: The Been a Minute Mixtape - by Ericca M.

THE BEEN A MINUTE MIXTAPE

We’ve all had those nights where we’re laying alone and start to miss that one ex in particular that may have gotten on our last nerve, but was extremely good in the bedroom. You start to get confused and wonder if you really miss the person or if you just miss the sex. Nine times out of ten, you’re just missing the sex. After a while, you either decide to hit them with the ‘Hey Big Head’ text or take care of your problem, sorta speak.

Let’s say you make the decision to actually call or text your ex and ask them to come through. Much to your surprise, they quickly respond and agree to the rendezvous. There’s something very special about that ‘one last time.’ Whether it be for closure or if you just want to re-live those many nights you guys spent writhing in ecstasy, you want to make it memorable.

That’s where this playlist comes in. The artists featured croon about longing to be with their ex-lover while providing smooth, melodic, rhythmic grooves for your bodies to slow grind to. So sit back, put this playlist on shuffle, wait on that special person to arrive and prepare for the most sensual night of your life.

OUR TOP PICK

“Faking It” was released as the fifth and final single from Calvin Harris’s fifth studio album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1. The song features singer Kehlani and rapper Lil Yachty. This song landed at the top of our list this month because not only do the lyrics tell the story of a conflicted lover fighting to stay away from their ex, but the beat is absolutely amazing. The verses are sang over a smooth mellow guitar and whenever the hook comes in, the tempo changes and transitions into a funky, bouncy, instrumental.


Check out the lyrics and be sure to tune in next month for more recommendations to make your bedroom boom.





LYRICS
Calvin Harris feat. Kehlani & Lil’ Yachty - “Faking It”

Pray to god, but I’m feeling like he’s going deaf
Now when I lean on you and I got nothing left
Hey, I’ve been wanting to call you
Tell you that I’m sorry
Same old fucking story everybody sings

And I’m say I’m okay but I guess I’m a liar
You say you’re okay but I saw that you liked it
2 A.M. and faded
I know that’s when you like it
Know that’s when you miss me
Know that’s when you’re crying

Why you, why you, why you checking, if you’re over it
Why you, why you say, “Let go, “ if you’re still holding it?
Just a little bit better at faking it than me, baby
Just a little bit better at faking it than me, baby

[Repeat 1x]

Nowadays I’m just a bitch to everybody else (fuck you and you)
I don’t need no shoulders I’m good crying by myself (fuck you too)
Moving on to chokers, you know I still adore ya
Unrequited love is just a lover’s telling

And I’m say I’m okay but I guess I’m a liar
You say you’re okay but I saw that you liked it
2 A.M. and faded
I know that’s when you like it
Know that’s when you miss me
Know that’s when you’re crying

Why you, why you, why you checking, if you’re over it
Why you, why you say, “Let go, “ if you’re still holding it?
Just a little bit better at faking it than me, baby
Just a little bit better at faking it than me, baby

[Repeat 1x]

I’m not gon’ act like I don’t love ya baby ‘cause deep in my mind, girl I know I do
Try to search all through the world and that well but I can’t find a girl who looks close like you
I done made millions of dollars, but I’m still alone until I come home back to you
I remember all of the times we were parked by your house and laughed all on your avenue
Oh you can’t front, you’re a stone cold diva
I had to get counselling from my mom, she’s a heartbreak teacher
Remember that time I put those pepperonis on your face made you a creature
Now I think ‘bout you every single time I eat pizza

Why you, why you, why you checking, if you’re over it
Why you, why you say, “Let go, “ if you’re still holding it?
Just a little bit better at faking it than me, baby
Just a little bit better at faking it than me, baby


[Repeat 1x]
