The lyrics for Starboy's song "Blow" refer to the intense attraction and desire between two people. The singer tells the girl that he is captivated by her and wants to be with her. He talks about how she holds him down and how every day with her he feels like he is high on Sapele water. He also references the Nigerian god Maka Chukwu, praying that he doesn't miss his shot with the girl.
The chorus urges the girl to blow her "trumpet," which likely refers to sexual activity. The singer asks her to take things slow and begs her to "do me small small." The song is essentially an ode to the passion and excitement of a new relationship.
Overall, the lyrics are fairly straightforward, unashamedly sexual, and driven by the danceable, afropop beat. The high-energy chorus and catchy rhythm make it a popular choice for clubs and parties.
