Saweetie got us wondering how she walk through, swingin’ that body on her new single “NANi,” which she released on Friday.
“Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani/ How she walk through, swingin’ that body/ Yellin’, ’Who gon’ stop me?’/ You ain’t got the time to clock me,” she sings. “Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani/ Big, bag, I’ma fill it up with money/ Yellin’, ‘Who gon’ stop me?’/ You ain’t got the time to clock me.”
“We gon’ fkkk up the Summer,” she wrote on Instagram earlier this week while revealing the single’s cover art. Last weekend at the 2024 Gold Gala — where Saweetie received the first-ever Billboard Gold Music Honor during the event dedicated to recognizing the 100 most impactful Asian Pacific changemakers in culture and society over the past year — she told Billboard on the red carpet, “‘NANi’ is that girl. ‘NANi’ is main character energy.”
When Billboard caught up with her earlier this year at Women in Music — where she presented Young Miko with the AMEX Impact Award — and asked what’s coming up for Saweetie in 2024, she responded, “Hopefully the album. I recorded over 300 songs. I have a lot of music, so we’ll get to it.”
“NANi” is her second solo single of 2024, after “Richtivities” from February, which was included in a six-song project titled PRETTY HU$TLER MIX featuring other previously released tracks: “Pretty Bitch Freestyle,” “BO$$ Chick,” “Pretty & Rich,” “Get It Girl” and her 2017 breakout debut single “ICY GIRL,” which reached No. 16 on Rhythmic Airplay. This year, she’s released collaborations with Indian singer-songwriter Diljit Dosanjh (“Khutti”), P-Lo (“Do It For The Bay”) and IVE (“All Night”).
