In "Relax with Me," PARTYNEXTDOOR is inviting a girl to join him in Miami's South Beach, where he plans to party with her until the sun goes down. He boasts about her Gucci wear and how she lets him do whatever he wants to her when they're together. He also encourages her to relax and trust him as he promises to say and do the right things at the right time.
The first verse is mainly about the material things that the girl has and how flamboyant their night's activities will be in South Beach. He mentions Baby Phat, a once-popular women's clothing brand owned by Kimora Lee Simmons. He also talks about how her ass is instrumental, meaning that it plays a crucial role in their sexual encounters. Continuing with the music metaphor, he suggests that she takes things up a notch and be a rock star by being explicitly sexual with him, even having sex on the top of a sports car.
The second verse is more about intimacy between the two, as he talks about how he doesn't shy away from crossing the line with her, whether it's in his speech or when doing drugs with her. He waives the notion of loyalty and praises his girl's ability to handle it well. He also boasts about his wealth and status and how it makes him feel like a coke boy. He ends the verse by reiterating how excellent the girl is and how it's nothing new, to begin with.
