Diplo’s remix of “Bird Song” serves as the second version of the song on the 2016 album AIM, with the first version being the Blaqstarr-produced original. Due to a mistake on her label’s behalf, Blaqstarr’s version was incorrectly labelled as a remix, despite being the original.

[Verse 1]
I'm a parrot
I'm robin this joint
Not a lyre bird
Sure ain't a vulture
Don't swallow that cause I make the culture
I'm not a lyre bird, I'm not a lyre bird
Staying, staying rich like an ostrich
Love ain't a albatross hanging 'round ya neck
Drink a sparrow, love is food, take a peck
Let's go to Turkey, swift like a rail
Can't pigeon hole, I'm epic like a Zeus tail
[Hook]
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
[Verse 2]
Doves cry
Are you going home alone?
Squad flock
Migrate for the summer
Duck out for, for some hot weather
Birds of prey and I'm shaking off my feather
See the water foul, swing on a creeper
Like starlin dictating love on my speaker
Hot flamingo, go bird emoji yo
Monogamous like a swan going with the flow
[Hook]
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
[Bridge]
Watch the sky, watch the sky
Watching, watching the sky
Watch the sky, watch
Watch the sky
Watch the sky
Watching, watching the sky
Watch the sky, watch, watch
[Verse 3]
Is that a crow on a crain?
Is that you or a plane?
Where's your chicken at?
I'm watching like a hawk
Aye, I need more birds!
Gully like a seagull
Gully like a, gully like a seagull
Gully like a seagull
I'm cuckoo for you, let's talk!
[Hook]
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Staying, staying rich like ostrich
[Outro]
Drop down get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down like a falcon
Drop down get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down get your eagle on
Drop down get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down like a falcon
Drop down, fly phenomenon
Humming higher than a drone
Free up my love

Pitchfork: You can hear that family-reunion vibe on “Bird Song,” especially the remix by Diplo, who you’ve feuded with pretty publically. How did you two patch things up?
There’s a lot of water under the bridge, and if I can get on with him and he can get on with me after everything that has happen...
