Overall Meaning

Tank's song "When" is an R&B track that has a clear sexual connotation. It starts with the singer asking his partner to talk to him, asking her when she is ready to let go. He wants to know when he hits the right spot and is putting in the work to please her. He is encouraging her to be vocal and tell him when she is reaching orgasm. The singer is asking his partner to open up and scream out when she is feeling pleasure. The chorus repeats the word "when" to indicate that he wants her to let him know when she is ready to climax. The second verse describes a sexual encounter where the partner's body is getting harder, and the singer is deep inside of her. He is telling her to slow down and breathe, and then he encourages her to let him know when she is ready to let go again.


The lyrics of "When" are a clear representation of sexual consent, where the singer is asking his partner to be vocal about her wants and needs. He wants to ensure that she is feeling good and is enjoying the sexual experience. In contrast, the song's music is a slow, seductive R&B beat that is meant to set the mood for the sexual encounter. Although the song's lyrics are straightforward, they are delivered in a way that is not vulgar or offensive, making it appropriate for radio play.
