Potion
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you by my side, side
Top down and the moon is high and the mood is right
And you're by my side, side, yeah
Late night conversations, electric emotions
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex, and it's a potion, yeah
Late night, bodies achin', mental stimulation
(Ah) yeah, (ah-ah, ah-ah, yeah) yeah
I been catchin' love off a backboard
Runnin' from your love, that's what this track for
Fuckin' every bitch and never tell 'em, no
I'm pushin' P, they black and white, a Oreo
I been catchin' love off a backboard
Runnin' from your love, that's what this track for
Buyin' niggas' bitches from the corner store
Thug, why you wanna do that? I don't need this love
Ball like Lebron James in the finals
We 14Hunna, just like a minor
I'm yellin' "Free Big Meech" with designers
Fifteen million hoes 'cause I'm undecided
I'm kickin' shit, karate, ooh
I'm servin' bricks somebody hood
Fucked a bitch, catch a charley, ooh
Gucci flip flops and joggers, ooh
In the whip on a Tuesday night, got the music high
And you by my side, side
Top down and the moon is high and the mood is right
And you're by my side, side, yeah (ah, ah)
Late night conversations, electric emotions
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex, and it's a potion, yeah
Late night, bodies achin', mental stimulation
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex appeal, and it's a moment
Yeah, yeah
Feelin' fly all night, yeah, yeah
Goin' with the motherfuckin' vibe, yeah
It's goin' down tonight, oh, yeah
But don't you leave, don't you move
Bada-bing, bada-boom 'bout you, whoa, oh
Late night conversations, electric emotions
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex, and it's a potion, yeah
Late night, bodies achin', mental stimulation
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex appeal, and it's a moment
(Ah) yeah, (ah-ah, ah-ah, yeah) yeah
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex, and it's a potion, yeah
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex appeal, and it's a moment, yeah
(Huh)
The song "Potion" by Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, and Young Thug takes us on a journey of a perfect Tuesday night with a special someone. The trio sings about the mood and the emotions that they feel while being together. The lyrics "In the whip on a Tuesday night, got the music high, And you by my side, side" creates a visual of a perfect ride with your loved one. The lyrics "Late night conversations, electric emotions, Sprinkled with a little bit of sex, and it's a potion" depicts the physical attraction and chemistry that they share.
Young Thug's verse, on the other hand, talks about him being in love but running away from it. He seems to be indulging in temporary relationships and buying women from corner stores, which further emphasizes his detachment from love. The lyrics "I'm pushin' P, they black and white, an Oreo, Buyin' niggas' bitches from the corner store" reflects his nonchalance towards love and commitment.
Overall, the song talks about the beauty of being in the moment with someone you love while experiencing electric emotions and excitement. In contrast, it also shows the repercussions of being detached from love and commitment.

In the whip on a Tuesday night, got the music high
