The song "Reaction" by Avant, featuring Sean Don, is about a man's desire to dance and share intimate moments with a woman at a party. The lyrics suggest that the man is attracted to the woman's physical features and wants to see her reactions to his advances. He refers to himself as "python" and "James Bond," highlighting his confidence and prowess. The chorus repeats the question, "Can you do it like this babe? Can you do it like that babe?" which implies sexual actions and the desire for experimentation.
The lyrics also touch on the man's need for validation and acknowledgement from the woman, as he asks if she can say his name right and what he can expect from her. The song's themes revolve around physical attraction, sexual exploration, and the desire for a deep connection with another person. The repetition of the chorus creates a sensual and hypnotic atmosphere, encouraging listeners to join in the dance and follow their instincts.
