Baby, calm down, calm down
Girl, this your body e put in my heart for lockdown
For lockdown, oh lockdown
Girl you sweet like Fanta, Fanta
If I tell you say I love you no dey form yanga, oh yanga
No tell me no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby come gimme your lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love

Shawty come gimme your lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love, hmm

I see this fine girl, for my party she wear yellow
Every other girl they dey do too much but this girl mellow
Naim I dey find situation I go use take tell am hello
Finally I find way to talk to the girl but she no wan follow
Who you come dey form for? Mm mm
Why you no wan conform? Mm mm
Then I start to feel her bum-bum (warm)
But she dey gimme small-small
I know say she sabi pass that one
But she feeling insecure
'Cause her friends go dey gum her like chewing gum
Go dey gum her like chewing gum

Baby, calm down, calm down
Girl, this your body e put my heart for lockdown
For lockdown, oh lockdown
Girl you sweet like Fanta, Fanta
If I tell you say I love you no dey form yanga, oh yanga
No tell me no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby come gimme your lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love

As I reach my house I say make I rest small (Make I rest small)
As me I wake up na she dey my mind (Na she dey my mind)
Day one, day two, I no fit focus (I no fit focus)
Na so me I call am, say make we link up (Say make we link up)
As I start to dey tell her how I feel all my heart dey race
Baby girl, if you leave me I no go love again
Because e get many girls wey put my heart for pain

Baby, calm down, calm down
Girl, this your body e put my heart for lockdown
For lockdown, oh lockdown

If I tell you say I love you no dey form yanga, oh yanga
No tell me no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

One of those songs where I'm asking "is this the same station that used to play Joe Cocker, Natalie Merchant, and Zero 7?"

This sweet little pop ditty is really, really good.  Doesn't mean I don't need to hear something from Audioslave to clear the palate, but this song is a delight.



Well said from a fellow music lover

I love that RP is playing this. It's been a big hit on mainstream radio in the UK - but that should never be a barrier to playing something if it's interesting. I love William's comment below, too!

LOL, the tempo and persistence was taking too much of my focus.  As I go to hit the PSD/Next button, I had to chuckle at the title...

I'll probably like this on another day.

Nobody in the history of calming down, has ever calmed down after being told to calm down.

Then I saw William's one - and froze it. He's right!

We're not playing because it's a hit. That's largely irrelevant in a day when everybody listens to playlists, not the radio. We're playing it because I think it's quirky, fun, and catchy as hell.

Giving it a 10 out of spite against the army of haters. Perfectly serviceable pop song which bops along with a happy vibe. The Selena Gomez vocal is a superfluous but presumably necessary addition for the international market (the original Nigerian version is exactly the same but without the added vocal).  

A reasonable question to ask is why a huge (and ubiquitous) international pop hit is in RP's rotation. I guess 'eclectic' covers ALL bases.



Didn't know about the Selena-free option. I just swapped that version out for the original in our library. Thanks!

I don't listen to ANY commercial radio stations. Based on your comment, this is a 'hit' song. New to me, and it's perfectly acceptable in the broad and wonderful world that is Radio Paradise.

Damn…average 4.7 rating by RP listeners.  I like it well enough to give it a 7.

This song is awesome, thank you for playing it! Very smooth, great understated vocals, nice production. Apologies for being crude, but this one's going in my "close the deal" mix.

First time hearing this. Came straight here to see the controversy! 

Probably wouldn't buy it but I still found it quite likeable.

Hard pass.  If I wanted to listen [to] rap I'd listen to the mainstream radio.  
Posted 2 years ago by crackker8385    [ Reply ]
Uhhg, so excruciatingly repetitious. Song could be put on a 60% diet and be all the better. It is surprising to hear such a widely played pop tune on RP (I heard it the last time I went to Trader Joe’s 😂).

By far and easy the absolute worst track ever played in the otherwise glorious history of RP - how dare you? 
i am listening day in and out for 10+ years. seldomly obiously there are songs i dont really like (among countless others which are enriching daily life and often are resulting in the discovery of artists unknown to me), but all them, like it or not have e certain "quality level" musically - burt this is the first time i considered seriously to stop the app and change.

i am not rating this "song" cause the scale not goes below 1

please "new" radio paradise-keep your signature up and stick with quality and dont try to fish in a crowd which wont stick with you neverthless

does for the news staff eclectic means that any shit will be good enough. as you can read, i am quite shocked and disturbed 
hope this is not nodding towards the future of RP - 
Posted 2 years ago by saellig668552    [ Reply ]
I might like this more if it wouldn't be drowned in the exact same DSP effects sauce as the majority of unremarkable contemporary pop songs on commercial radio. What is wrong with just singing into a plain old microphone and not trying to make oneself sound like some kind of robot?
Posted 2 years ago by DrLex    [ Reply ]
I listen RP more then 15 years, and I will never stop. 
Just, please, please stop with this kind of pop music. This is not in spirit of Radio Paradise.

Oh man, this does not sound like Radio Paradise.  I wonder if the new helpers are picking the songs now.
 
A lot of these newer additions also have no year listed, it's always "0", Bill was meticulous with those details.
 
EDIT: It only happens for legacy.radioparadise.com, but it is a problem that started this year.

Well, not at all surprised by the large number of 1s. I was generous and gave it a 2. I'm all for playing new and different stuff, but boy I did not like this one at all.

I gave this a 1 when I first heard it. Today I was having lunch with some friends and this came on. Every one of them said WTF is this! I have endured it a few times & still don't care for it. I don't expect it to grow on me. It seems I am not alone.

Holy cow, 4.8 rating and 8 plays in 30 days.  That's gotta set some sort of record.

This is why you guys are so good.  Yeh, not what you usually play. But it has come through.  My co-teacher was all about this last year.  I'm gonna tell her, you got great musical taste!  It keeps getting better.
