Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ladies looking hot
Shaking up what they've got
Elephant Man and Kat, c'mon
Kat
Sense is telling me you're looking
Boy I wonder what would happen
If I trip and let you in
Don't get shook by my aggression
I just might be the one
Let's skip this conversation
Just whine your body up
(Ha ha ha)
Don't wanna wait no more
(Ha ha ha)
You got what I'm searching for
I'm feeling your vibing
I'm riding high its exotic
And I want you, I want you here
Pull me closer and closer
and hold me tight to your body
I wanna feel you, I wanna feel you near (whoo)
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
A ese nene lo tengo trikiao
Cuando lo bailo lo bailo de lao (oye)
Y lo empujo lo tengo tumbao
Con mis caderas lo tengo amansao wind!
Boy keep doing what you're doing, get me hot
Winding up your body you don't have to stop
My temperature is rising, want you more than before
It's an animal attraction, whine your body up
(Ha ha ha)
It's the magic on the floor
(Ha ha ha)
I don't wanna wait no more
'Cause I'm feeling your vibing
I'm riding high its exotic
And I want you (and I want you too)

The song “Whine Up” by Kat DeLuna featuring Elephant Man is a catchy dancehall tune that invites the listener to let themselves go and dance to the beat. The lyrics talk about the sensation of attraction and the energy that builds up between two people. Kat sings about sensing someone’s gaze, and wondering what would happen if she let them in. She encourages skipping the conversation and letting the body do the talking instead. The chorus repeats the phrase “Whine Up” which is a Jamaican slang term for grinding or dancing suggestively.
Elephant Man’s verse is in patois and adds an extra layer of rhythm and texture to the song. He describes Kat’s body movements as being so alluring that even a blind man could see her clearly. He commands her to bring her body to him, to shake her booty, and to touch the drums, representing a call to dance. Together, the lyrics make for a flirty and playful song that is perfect for the summer party scene.
