Back It Up
Dadju Lyrics

Back it up, back it up
Repeating the command to back it up

Merci à ta mère, tu n'as pas d'erreur, pas d'erreur
Thanking the partner's mom for giving birth to someone without any mistakes

Quel coup de reins quand tu back it up, back it up
Praising the partner's moves when they back it up

Demande-moi la Terre, je suis sérieux, sérieux
Offering to fulfill the partner's wish even if it's as big as asking for the whole world

J'peux te rendre zen-zen, sans fumer la beuh, ouais
Assuring the partner that they can feel relaxed and comfortable around the artist without the use of drugs

Pour toi je peux dead tout de suite
Willing to do something risky or dangerous for the partner

22, 22, tu leur fais prendre la fuite
Implying that the partner is intimidating to others

Comment tu peux rester lucide
Wondering how the partner can stay clear-headed amidst so much attention

Quand la moitié d'la Terre te veut de jour comme de nuit
Pointing out how many people admire and desire the partner

Stoppent tout quand tu défiles
Suggesting that the partner has a powerful presence that catches people's attention

T'aimes nous montrer qu'on est tous morts dans le film
Asserting that the partner is the main character and everyone else is just an extra in their story

Tu dessines un S de profil, t'es mi-vulgaire, mi-charismatique
Describing the partner's unique and appealing personality

Sur Instagram, dans tes DM's, il pleut ouais
Noting how popular the partner is on social media

Tu fais semblant d'nous faire croire que tout l'monde peut, ouais
Observing how the partner claims to be inclusive and empowering

Pas d'homme fragile, pas d'polygame, ni tit-pe
Listing some of the partner's preferences or requirements for a partner

Fini d'prendre des risques, tu fixes les règles du jeu ouais
Accepting the partner's leadership and willingness to take control

On aime les femmes qu'ont du style et celles
Expressing a preference for women who are stylish and confident

On fleek d'la semelle jusqu'aux cils (bébé)
Describing how attractive and fashionable some women are

Celles qui montrent que c'est impossible (bébé)
Appreciating women who challenge expectations and succeed against the odds

Celles qui n'ont pas besoin qu'on leur dise
Celebrating women who are independent and self-sufficient

Tu es, tu es problématique (problématique)
Admiring the partner's complexity and tendency to challenge norms

Tu m'vois comme Aya, vois Djadja dans sa 'sique
Comparing the artist and the partner to two popular singers

Parlons français, viens que j't'explique
Inviting the partner to a private conversation or intimate experience

Comment j'vois les soirées pas loin du style romantique
Sharing the artist's vision for a romantic evening together

Noir total, quatre-cinq bougies
Setting the mood for an intimate and sensual atmosphere

Elle sent pas trop fort l'album d'R.Kelly
Joking about the music the partner might choose for the evening

Rose, rouge sang dans le jacuzzi
Painting a picture of a luxurious and sensual scene together

Parler des gens jusqu'à pas d'heure
Enjoying each other's company and conversation late into the night

Peignoir, genga après minuit
Describing some of the details of the artist's ideal date night

Netflix nous tient seulement compagnie
Acknowledging the role of entertainment in the evening without detracting from the intimacy of the moment

Quarante-huit degrés dans le lit
Further describing the passion and heat of the moment

Les draps retiendront nos odeurs (back it up, back it up)
Suggesting the intimacy and sensuality of the moment will be memorable and special

J'aime quand tu back it up, back it up
Expressing admiration for the partner's moves and confidence

Et tu nous rends dingue, dingue, back it up, back it up
Acknowledging the effect the partner has on many people, not just the artist

Oh oh ah
Repeating a vocalization to round out the song
