Katy Perry, Migos, ay

Appetite for seduction
Melt in your mouth kind of lovin'

Looks like you've been starvin'
You got those hungry eyes (woo)
You could use some sugar
'Cause your levels ain't right (woo)
I'm a five-star Michelin
A Kobe flown in (woo)
You want what I'm cookin', boy
Let me take you (woo)
Under candlelight
We can wine and dine
A table for two
And it's okay (woo)
If you take your time
Eat with your hands, fine

Well I'm open twenty-four (woo)
Wanna keep you satisfied
Customer's always right (woo)
Hope you've got some room
For the world's best cherry pie (woo)
Gonna hit that sweet tooth (ay), boy
Let me take you (woo)

The lyrics of Katy Perry's "Bon Appétit" featuring Migos focus on the theme of sexual seduction depicted through the metaphor of cooking and dining. The song's lyrics set the scene, with Katy Perry offering herself as an appetizing meal that her lover desires to consume. This is illustrated with lyrics like "Got me spread like a buffet" and "Fresh out the oven, melt in your mouth kind of lovin'."
Perry, the five-star Michelin chef or the cook of this metaphorical meal, is depicted as someone who is skilled and irresistible, with lyrics like "I'm all that you want, boy, all that you can have, boy." Perry presents herself as an irresistible seductor and the lyrics of Migos rappers Offset and Takeoff only reinforce this sexualized message.
Ultimately, the song's lyrics depict the act of sexual seduction in a very explicit way, using the context of a physical meal, which can be seen as an extended metaphor for the act of sex and intimacy.

Bon a, bon appétit, baby (woo)
The singer expresses her desire for seduction in the lyrics while the catchy phrase, 'fresh out of the oven' implies the girl that she is hot and irresistible.

I'm a five-star Michelin
A Kobe flown in (woo)
You want what I'm cookin', boy
The singer uses metaphors related to food, comparing the boy with someone who is starving and requiring sugar because of their low energy levels. She follows this with an impression of being a highly-sought after culinary artist, like a five-star Michelin, with Kobe beef flown in to offer exceptional cuisine. The singer asks if the boy wants her, as if her culinary prowess is her recipe for seduction.
Let me take you (woo)
Under candlelight
We can wine and dine
A table for two
And it's okay (woo)
If you take your time

The singer uses seductive language and sets a romantic atmosphere with candles and a table for two. She lets the boy enjoy the meal at his own pace, even being okay with him eating with his hands, as she is the menu item itself, making it clear that she is both the meal and the seduction tactic.
So you want some more?

Sweet potato pie (sweet)
It'll change your mind (change)
Got you runnin' back for seconds (runnin')
Every single night (hey)
Sweet potato pie is used as an example of a dish that will change one's mind. The lyrics imply that the singer's cooking is affecting the boy deeply and that he is returning for more every night.
I'm the one they say can change your life (takeoff)
No waterfall, she drippin' wet, just like my ice (blast)
Said she want a Migo night, I ask her, "what's the price?" (Hold on)
If she do right, told her get whatever you like (Offset)
The featured artists offer their own narrations, rapping about their experiences with women and what they're willing to do for them. The lyrics speak about how the girl loves Migos and wants to spend a night with them. If she does right, she gets whatever she wants.

The rapper discusses his sexual encounters with women, referring to grabbing a girl's legs and making her 'ride' like a car, and how he enjoys the women he is with, using the term 'dime' to express that they are worth the effort.

Sweet tooth (sweet), no tooth fairy (no)
Whipped cream (whip), no dairy (yeah)
Got her hot light on, screamin', "I'm ready" (hot)
But no horses (woo), no carriage (yeah)
Back to the main theme, the singer uses food metaphors to describe the boy's sweet tooth, with no fairy to give him the sweetness he desires. The phrase 'hot light' is likely referring to the red light on a 'hot-now' donut store. However, the lyrics clarify that she does not want a horse and carriage ride, instead of opting for delicious food and lovemaking to satisfy her needs.
Under candlelight (yeah)
Bon appétit, baby (woo)
