It's no secret that MNEK is one of the most talented people in pop. From his production and writing credits ('Hold Up', 'Touch') to his own music ('Paradise', 'Never Forget You'), he never fails to craft amazing songs that change the landscape of the charts.

Last night MNEK released his brand new single 'Tongue' and it is nothing short of sublime. We are obsessed.

View the lyrics
If you wanna leave
if you wanna go

baby don't leave
why don't we go
somewhere somewhere somewhere somewhere

why don't we go
somewhere somewhere somewhere somewhere

Would you like to go to paradise
Cos I'm not tryna go alone
Runaway with me to paradise
If you wanna leave, then we can go
Cos the real world told me lies
The realest lies ever told
so let's run away and find paradise
paradise
and soon paradise will be home

If you wanna leave
if you wanna go
baby don't leave yet

take my hand, shut your eyes and imagine
wouldn't it be nice
just to have, an escape, a distraction
far away from this life
I tried to be cool but this world's too cruel
for me, to sit around, & simply drown in fear
so I'm asking you, what would you do
if we could get out of here

Would you like to go to paradise
Cos Im not tryna go alone
Runaway with me to paradise
If you wanna leave, then we can go
Cos the real world told me lies
The realest lies ever told
so let's run away and find paradise
paradise
and soon paradise will be home

If you wanna leave
if you wanna go
baby don't leave yet

your love's like a fantasy
nothing like what I saw on the news yesterday
another man down, blood on the ground
makes me wanna just runaway
where we run is a mystery
ignorance is bliss to me
cos whenever I turn on my tv it's just misery

I tried to be cool but this world's too cruel
for me, to sit around, & simply drown in fear
so I'm asking you, what would you do
if we could get out of here

Would you like to go to paradise
Cos I don't wanna go alone
Runaway with me to paradise
If you wanna leave, then we can go
Cos the real world told me lies
The realest lies ever told
so let's run away and find paradise
paradise
and soon paradise will be home

(Paradise is an escape)
Hooooome
(If you wanna leave if you wanna go)
Hoooome
(If you wanna leave if you wanna go)
Paradise is in the mind baby
Paradise is in the mind baby
it won't take too long to find baby
Paradise is in the mind baby
In Paradise we're free
to do what we want to do
we're free
baby

The 'You Don't Know Me' co-writer began teasing the new single with tongue emojis last Friday and announced on Twitter yesterday that Annie Mac would premiere it as her Hottest Record last night. Since then we've not been able to take it off of repeat.

'Tongue' is a gorgeous slice of sexy, pop magic that somehow sounds both current and like nothing else out today. From the spoken word chorus and the ad-libs to way that the production builds and the 'licky you, licky me, licky la-la-la' hook, it's perfect.

It's MNEK's most confident release to date and it goes off in every single way. We couldn't love it any more.

MNEK - Tongue (Lyric Video)

Speaking to Annie Mac about 'Tongue', MNEK said: "I think this song more than ever I'm having fun". 

He then went on to speak about his new album and what we can expect from it. "The album I'm a lot more free and a lot more aware of what I wanna say and I wanna do." Annie also got him to confirm that it will be out this year and we are so excited.

'Tongue' is such a brilliant song and we can only imagine how excellent the entire LP is going to be.

Fingers crossed that the record comes out in time for us to enjoy it all summer long.

We've been waiting for this album for years and we know that it will not disappoint.
