14 Chaotic Kehlani Lyrics To Rule Your Quarantine Sex Life

We all need a little chaos.

by Steffanee Wang

Kehlani knows relationships are hard. Her last project, 2019's While We Wait, was all about forgiveness: finding clarity through the murky aftermath of a particularly turbulent relationship, and exhibiting enough grace to keep one last door open for her former lover. It preceded the birth of her first child, perhaps coinciding with a moment of quiet introspection in the Oakland-based artist.

But now, a little over a year later, Kehlani is ready to get freaky again. Not too freaky, but freaky enough to send you a pixelated, late-night video of all the things you may want but can't have. Of course, that doesn't mean all the emotional distance from her previous record has gone out the door on her new album, It Was Good Until It Wasn't. Kehlani's just ready to get down and dirty again; loosen up the ties, maybe text a few exes.

Which is all to say, it is the perfect soundtrack for your sex life under quarantine. What better time is there to get involved with someone, with the least amount of strings attached, than right now? To hit up some old flames for some harmless... who knows... FaceTime sessions? Kehlani puts it pretty straightforwardly on the aptly titled lead single, "Toxic": "Don Julio make me a fool for you/ And I might hit your phone up with the ra ra ra."

Over the album's 15 brooding, sultry tracks, Kehlani covers everything from giving into the basest desires, to make-up sex, to needing to get over being a serial lover, and the songs are hot, messy, and, of course, incredibly chaotic. But what's some chaos in this time where boredom and ennui reigns supreme? Below, we found 14 lyrics from the album that could fit any quarantine sex-tuation you may find yourself in: whether it's fanning a newfound Tinder flame, or trying to figure out what to sext your online partner. If all else fails, just use it as the caption for your next thirst trap.
