“Would You Mind” is the debut single from PRETTYMUCH, who were formed in 2017 by Simon Cowell. As Edwin stated:
The song is about seeing a pretty girl in the club or on the dance floor, you kinda wanna in a gentleman way ask her “can I pull you closer?”
[Intro: Zion, All]
If I pulled you closer, would you mind?
Would you mind? Would you mind?
(Let's go!)
[Verse 1: Brandon]
Say you don't catch feelings, say you ain't the love type
I'ma have to work, then, (uh) the whole night
Nothing like your ex, no, this ain't what you used to
Just give me that chance, girl, (uh) won't lose you
[Pre-Chorus: Zion & Austin]
And I know you've been hurt before, but
I'll make it better for ya
I'll make it better for ya, for ya (ow!)
And you heard it all before, but
I've got a question for ya, I've got a question
[Chorus: All]
If I pulled you closer, would you mind?
Would you mind?
Would you mind?
If my hands get lower when we grind
When we grind, would you mind?
If I pulled you closer, would you
[Verse 2: Zion, All]
Let's not waste a moment
Ain't no need to be shy
I got room for your friends
If your friends want a ride (Ahh)
Tell them not to stress, though (Oh)
I'll treat you so special (special)
Just give me that chance, girl, and
I won't let go
[Pre-Chorus: Edwin & Austin]
And I know you've been hurt before, but
I'll make it better for ya
I'll make it better for ya, for ya (ow!)
And you heard it all before, but
I've got a question for ya, I've got a question
[Chorus: All]
If I pulled you closer, would you mind?
Would you mind?
Would you mind?
If my hands get lower when we grind
When we grind, would you mind?
If I pulled you closer, would you
[Bridge: Brandon, Austin & All]
Mind, mind, (c'mon) mi-i-ind
Tell me, baby, would you mind?
Tell me, baby, would you mind? (aye, aye)
Mind, mind, mi-i-ind
Tell me, baby, would you mind?
Tell me, baby, would you mind?
[Pre-Chorus: Nick & Brandon]
Girl, I know you've been hurt before, but
I'll make it better for ya
I'll make it better for ya, for you
I'll make it better
[Chorus: All, Edwin, Brandon]
If I pulled you closer, would you mind?
Would you mind?
Would you mind?
If my hands get lower when we grind
When we grind, would you mind?
(Oh!
Tell me would you mind, girl)
If I pulled you closer, would you mind?
(I know you've been hurt before, but)
Would you mind?
(I'll make it better for ya)
Would you mind?
(I'll make it better for ya, oh oh oh, babe)
If my hands get lower when we grind
(And you heard it all before, but)
When we grind
(I got a question for ya)
Would you mind?
(I got a question)
If I pulled you closer, would you mind? (babe)
(Mind, mind, mi-i-ind)

I think mainly we knew we wanted to make a unique first impression and I think “Would You Mind” being so different – you know, it has that throwback feel, it has that R&B vibe, an attention-grabber [so] people start to be a little bit curious and want to know more. Because when it comes down to...
In an interview, PRETTYMUCH confirmed this, saying:
The amount of times one of us have said, “I don’t know if I should talk to her. It’s always… It’s that question.
You never know the answer. Would she mind?
We’re trying to show the world that chivalry is not dead. The song is a girl telling you she’s not “the love type,” she’s not into relationships and she’s not trying to take it serious right now. But when y'all hit the dance floor, all jokes aside, you gotta ask her “if I pulled you closer, would yo...
