Overall Meaning

The song "Girls Dem Sugar" is a collaboration between Jamaican dancehall artist Beenie Man and American R&B singer Mya. The song is an upbeat love song where both artists express their devotion and love to the girls they admire. Throughout the song, different elements of Jamaican popular culture come together, including the use of dialect ("Zagga zow, ziggy zow"), the mention of Jah Jah (a Rastafarian term for God), and the use of the sim simma phrase, which means "listen to me".


The opening lines of the song include the line "badman nah bow" which can be interpreted as an affirmation of their confidence and power; they will not bow down to anyone. They go on to assert their status as desirable men and good lovers, emphasizing their appeal and prowess in the context of romance. The song also speaks to the power dynamics between men and women, with the artists describing themselves as having "the girls dem power".
