NoMBe began the release of his debut album “They Might’ve Even Loved Me” in January 2017 with the release of his record "Wait", which was premiered worldwide on the popular Australian radio station triple J. The album is inspired by all the women who’ve helped shaped NoMBe’s life: from his godmother Chaka Khan to his high school crushes to summer flings to his girlfriend and his mother.
In April 2017 NoMBe released “Can’t Catch Me” - Pharrell selected to be the theme song for his HBO series “Outpost”. NoMBe has had multiple syncs in the TV series Ballers.

NoMBe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make every nerve and fiber rise
The way you rush inside my mind
Surprised I got this high tonight
But I'm fine to drive to a time you like
Since laws by space and time defined
Apply to all, but trust me doll, not you and I
Rock on from side to side
Round and round like fireflies
She wants it all the time
Wet dreams and lullabies
I give it my all tonight
The way I have her calling like
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby from 9 to 5 a.m. our stars align
Rock on from side to side
Round and round like fireflies
She wants it all the time
Wet dreams and lullabies
I give it my all tonight
The way I have her calling like
When you flap your wings that close to me
I'll chase that wind like you won't believe
What exactly dear, are we supposed to be
If not the king and queen of our dopamine
Like therapy, mentally
But more than that, it's meant to be
Physically, when I beat that thing like a tambourine
It's like alchemy, my recipe
To set you free from the pest that is your dress you see
Less is more and flesh are we
Why else would I give you the best of me?
And if you never leave and stretch out the now
I'll wrap all in towels
Let's drench our whole house
In sweat from our brows
Baby from 9 to 5 a.m. our stars align
Rock on from side to side
Round and round like fireflies
She wants it all the time
Wet dreams and lullabies
I give it my all tonight
The way I have her calling like
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby from 9 to 5 a.m. our stars align
Rock on from side to side
Round and round like fireflies
She wants it all the time
Wet dreams and lullabies
I give it my all tonight
The way I have her calling like
Calling, calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling
The way I have her calling like
Calling, calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling
The way I have her calling like
The lyrics to NoMBe's song "Sex" are about a passionate and intense sexual experience between two people. The song talks about the way the other person feels to the singer and how they make them feel. The opening lines "girl, you feel like china white, make every nerve and fiber rise, the way you rush inside my mind, surprised I got this high tonight" indicate that the singer is comparing the feeling of being with this person to a powerful drug, and how they can't stop thinking about them. However, the lyrics also suggest that the connection they have goes beyond just physical pleasure, as evidenced by the lyrics "Like therapy, mentally, but more than that, it's meant to be."
The lyrics also suggest that they have an intense and intimate connection, which is explored through the lines "If not the king and queen of our dopamine, like therapy, mentally, but more than that, it's meant to be." The song describes the way they come together as "rocking from side to side, round and round like fireflies," which implies that their movements are like dancing. Throughout the song, the lyrics express the idea that they can't get enough of each other, with the repeated refrain "she wants it all the time, wet dreams and lullabies, I give it my all tonight, the way I have her calling like."
Line by Line Meaning
Girl you feel like china white
You make me feel like the most powerful and addictive thing, with each moment building up an intense rush within me.
Make every nerve and fiber rise
You excite my whole being, causing my nerves and fibers to respond to your every touch and movement.
The way you rush inside my mind
You occupy my thoughts and emotions in a quick and intense manner, leaving no time for anything else to get in the way.
Surprised I got this high tonight
I am taken aback by how much I am enjoying this experience with you, reaching heights of pleasure beyond what I expected.
But I'm fine to drive to a time you like
I am willing and able to take us wherever you want to go, without anything stopping us or getting in our way.
Since laws by space and time defined
Apply to all, but trust me doll, not you and I
The laws that govern the universe may apply to everyone else, but the connection between us is beyond what can be explained by physical laws and is something unique to just us.
Baby from 9 to 5 a.m. our stars align
Rock on from side to side
Round and round like fireflies
Our bodies and movements sync up in a rhythm that feels like the stars themselves aligning. We move together like fireflies dancing in the night.
She wants it all the time
Wet dreams and lullabies
I give it my all tonight
The way I have her calling like
You want me and crave me constantly, even in your wildest dreams and most peaceful moments. I am going above and beyond to satisfy you tonight, hearing your moans and cries of pleasure as a testament to my success.
When you flap your wings that close to me
I'll chase that wind like you won't believe
What exactly dear, are we supposed to be
If not the king and queen of our dopamine
When you get close to me and show me a taste of what could be, I am willing to pursue you with an almost reckless abandon. We may not fit into any preconceived notions or societal norms, but as long as we flood each other's brains with dopamine, nothing else matters.
Like therapy, mentally
But more than that, it's meant to be
Physically, when I beat that thing like a tambourine
Our relationship is like a form of therapy for our minds and souls, but it goes beyond that when we engage in physical intimacy. The way I pleasure you is like a musician playing a passionate beat on a tambourine.
It's like alchemy, my recipe
To set you free from the pest that is your dress you see
Less is more and flesh are we
Why else would I give you the best of me?
Our connection is a transformative process, with me using my own unique recipe to free you from the constraints and pressures of society. We are not defined by what we wear or what others think of us, but by the physical flesh and blood that we share. I am giving you my all because I believe in the power of our connection.
And if you never leave and stretch out the now
I'll wrap all in towels
Let's drench our whole house
In sweat from our brows
If you choose to stay with me and revel in the present moment, I will do everything in my power to keep you satisfied and comfortable. Together, we can create a steamy environment that embodies our passion and desire.
Calling, calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling
The way I have her calling like
Your passionate cries and calls for more only fuel my desire to give you everything you want and more. We are lost in the moment, consumed by each other's passion and lust.
