Babe, I know we don't care
Ain't so famous ova night, yeah
Don't be scared to admit it
Seen you look from the start
Oh, on my Instagram he be lookin'
Secret looks on yo phone, I know
I guess I'm yo favorite
But you won't let it show, no way
If you like what you see then
You gotta let me know
That you won't double tap that hoe
That you won't double tap that hoe
Go and lemme know about ya (about ya)
Hash tag, sum' to show you're gangsta
Oh no, don't, he no square
Just say it, just say it if ya want me
Baby, on the low, you stay on the page 'cause
I guess I'm yo favorite
But you won't let it show, no way
If you like what you see then
You gotta let me know
That you won't double tap that hoe
That you won't double tap that hoe
Must be a sucka, 'cause I been lookin'
Ya ass gettin' fine with ya big cookie
Niggas know I woulda been takin'
School of hard knots, they was were plain lickin'
I really did it 'cause I say I did it
It's a turn on if a girl say she in the pot
It's a turn on if a girl say she independent
If I ask her, can a home girl come to dinner
People gonna question you if you're a singer or a stripper
Tryna get with you, yo otha nigga inefficient
Well, is it an issue, well, I ain't think it was an issue
'Cause when I get with ya I double tap more than a pistol
Baby, on the low, you stay on the page 'cause
I guess I'm yo favorite
But you won't let it show, no way
If you like what you see then
You gotta let me know
That you won't double tap that hoe
That you won't double tap that hoe
That you won't double tap that hoe
The song Double Tap by Jordin Sparks and featuring rapper 2 Chainz is all about social media and how it affects relationships. Right from the opening lines, the singer wants to look better than the last woman her partner was with. She then talks about the fact that they don't care about being famous overnight, indicating that they prioritize each other. However, she is aware of the fact that her partner has been looking at other women, even those on social media, with secret looks on his phone.
The chorus is where the title of the song comes into play. The singer wants her partner to let her know that he won't "double tap that hoe," which is a reference to double-tapping a photo on Instagram to like it. She wants him to show her that he is loyal to her and won't like or engage with any other women's photos on social media. The verses and chorus both emphasize the idea that social media can cause problems in relationships and can lead to insecurities and jealousy.
Overall, Double Tap is a fun and catchy song that addresses a common theme in modern relationships - the impact of social media. It highlights the importance of communication and trust in relationships, especially in the digital age.

I like it. It's different from what she usually had sung.
Michie Oo
Shes not going to always be singing ballads, shes stepping out and exploring other markets and there's nothing wrong with that

+Michie OoΒ loll truuuuuuuuuu
Jelila4ever
+Michie Oo yeah but this is a bit childish don't you think? I expect this from a 16 yr old, not a 26 yr old. Yes, she's trying something different but instead of moving forward, she's stepping backwards. That's why people may hate or find this uncomfortable, it just doesn't seem age appropriate.
Nick Lee
Yes there is something wrong with it. Song Sucks!!

This used to be my song back in high school, and it still is. β€οΈπ₯
Amma Torres
Can we just take a moment and see how underrated this great song is ???
banditgeist
Honestly, I really like this song. Chill beat and mellow vocals, I'll probably be playing this all summer. And its cool to see Jordan is moving into some new directions and experimenting, because I think it will work for her. And many artists in today's music are all beginning to shift and change around their styles of music. And I can tell this song isn't to be taken too seriously, its just a good single a lot of people will play over the summer. And that is perfect for me.
