In Nailah Blackman feat. The Laventille Rhythm Section's song, "Iron Love", the lyrics are an ode to the Trinidadian tradition of playing music with irons on a metal surface. The chorus repeats the phrase, "I bring it, I bring it, I bring it, bring the iron love", referring to the excitement and joy that comes from playing the iron instrument. The line "iron man, oh he sweeter than when he lick the pan" is a play on words, as the iron instrument is made out of a pan and the sound it produces is compared to the sweetness of honey. The line "jam iron woman does leave their man" references the fact that women are often so taken with the sound and energy of the iron band that they will leave their romantic partner to join in the festivities.
The song celebrates the power of music to heal and bring people together, with lyrics like "music brings the love. Throw away all my burdens, heal all that is hurting". The repeated phrase "whole day" emphasizes the idea that the music and the communal spirit it creates can last all day long. The verses also touch on the idea that the iron is a form of love, with lines like "is love in the iron iron iron" and "iron of we life yeah, everybody nice yeah". The song encourages listeners to join in the celebration and experience the joy of the iron band.

This song feels like a reintroduction to the quintessential sound of soca music. She's been given the gift of having the soul of soca music imbedded in her - phenomenal work β¨

What a positive, fun song. A tribute to what Trini music was. Where is the iron in the music. It is what makes Trini music so unique. Love her positivity this is where kids belong learning a skill, enjoying music, being out of the streets, out of trouble! I am a fan. Will certainly purchase this song and support. Been along time Iβve heard a good scoa song.
Stefan Dennis
Beautiful song. Nailah always delivers
Nia E
She is sooo freaking refreshing. I love all that she is, her voice, her energy, her vibes. Patrice will always be my number one female when it comes to soca but Nailah is definitely holding it down. She's definitely a welcome addition to the game.
