Gum Body
by
Burna Boy ft. Jorja Smith
Exploring the depths of romantic longing and regret, this song delves into the emotional turmoil experienced by someone who has let a loved one slip away. The lyrics reveal a narrative of intoxication and lost opportunity, suggesting that the protagonist's actions may have been influenced by alcohol ("Why did I drink this Hennessy?"). This is further emphasized by the repeated plea to "gum body," a Nigerian slang term referring to closeness or intimacy. The song serves as an exploration of the human condition, highlighting our inherent flaws and the often-painful consequences of our actions. #RomanticRegret #LostLove
