The song "Habibi" by Lamu is a love song with strong sexual undertones. The lyrics express the singer's desire for her lover, who she refers to as "habibi," an Arabic term of endearment meaning "my love" or "my darling." She longs to be intimate with him, to touch and be touched, and to explore her sexual desires with him. The chorus, "Oh my baby, All I think of is you habibi, Touch my body, Wanna get lost in you habibi," is especially telling of this desire.
The verse "I don't want that click click click click, I don't want that click click click, I want you right right here with me," implies a rejection of digital communication and a longing for physical connection. The line "You got me weak weak weak weak, So weak baby, But imma bring out the freak freak freak in me" reveals her vulnerability to her lover, but also her willingness to explore and embrace her sexuality with him.
The singer invites her lover to her place, where she wants him to put his hands on her body and fulfill her desires. She sings, "Come by my place there's a party, Want both your hands on my body, Baby karibu ingiya ndani," which means "Welcome, come inside" in Swahili. She finds his touch calming and comforting, as evidenced by the line "So steady I like it." The song ends on a repeat of the chorus, emphasizing her all-consuming longing for her "habibi" and desire for physical intimacy.
