Sorry if it's hard to catch my vibe, mmm
I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side
Are you down for the ride?
It's not easy for someone to catch my eye
But I've been waitin' for you for my whole damn life
My whole lifetime

Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)
I see you're focused, yeah you're so independent (independent)
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)
You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen

So baby, tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies

I've been so into your mystery
Is it because of our history?
Are you into me?
When it feels so good, but it's bad for you
Can't say I don't want it 'cause I know I do
Come on over, I need your company
Craving that synergy

Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)
I see you're focused, yeah, you're so independent (independent)
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)
You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen

So baby, tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies
Tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies

If you're down, don't hide it
Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it
Baby you gon' make me overnight it
Tell me, are you down?
If you're down, don't hide it (yeah)
Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it (yeah)
Baby you gon' make me overnight it
Tell me, are you down? (Tell me)

Tell me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)
Waste the day and spend the night (waste the day, spend the night)
Underneath the sunrise (underneath the sunrise)
Show me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)
Tell me where your love lies (show me where your love lies)
Waste the day and spend the night (yeah, yeah)
Underneath the sunrise (ooh)
Show me where your love lies

In the video, she writes “Oct. 22” on a piece of red tape before somebody is heard saying “Drop the pen” so she, without question, drops said pen. Iconic.

While it’s unknown if Normani and Calvin’s collab will be the official follow-up to his back-to-back number one singles ‘Promises’ and ‘One Kiss’, this team-up is crazy for someone at the beginning of her solo career.

Following the slinky R&B of ‘Love Lies’ and her feature on Quavo’s debut solo album - which dropped last week - this will surely only showcase her versatility, while leaving us even more puzzled as to what expect from her own solo music.

We may get a snippet or, at the very least, the song title over the weekend but even if so it’s going to be a long three days waiting for this (fingers crossed) banger.

Could Normani have a UK number one single before her debut solo single even drops? We can’t stop thinking about what might come of this.

New queen of the charts arriving in 3 days! Shout it from the rooftops, Normies!
