“Chicken Tenders” is the first single from Dominic Fike’s debut full-length, What Could Possibly Go Wrong. On the song, he fuses his typical alternative pop sound with R&B, singing about living in luxury with his lover. The track also features an infectious chorus with high-pitched vocals about...
[Chorus]
Chicken tenders in my hotel, yeah
Christina's in my bed watchin' TV shows
When she hit the remote with her legs shakin', that's good love makin'
Watchin' wherever my head facin', it's for bugs, baby
[Post-Chorus]
White wings in my pillows and blankets (Lovin' under covers)
I got markings on my body from tracin' (All over my body, girl)
Rodeo for Cartier glasses
But, girl, you know how itchy my back get (Woah)
[Verse 1]
Every time (Every time)
We settle, but it never felt right 'cause we can't keep still
And we try to fight the way everything feels
When we step out of line
I met your gaze and it was love that we were makin' it
And she spoke a different language
There was no need for translation
And I ordered chicken fingers to my room, girl
But we got some things to do first
[Chorus]
Chicken tenders in my hotel, yeah
Christina's in my bed watchin' TV shows
When she hit the remote with her legs shakin', that's good love makin'
Watchin' wherever my head facin', it's for bugs, baby
[Post-Chorus]
White wings in my pillows and blankets (Lovin' under covers)
I got markings on my body from tracin' (All over my body, girl)
Rodeo for Cartier glasses
But, girl, you know how itchy my back get (All over my body, girl)
[Verse 2]
Every night (Every night, she calls)
You call me for whatever feels right
Baby, don't stay still, make your mind
You could be wakin' up in here for the rest of your life
And I knew just what she was thinkin'
With no need for speculation
Just your body and a blanket
And I hope this doesn't change it
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the best part of my day is (Oh)
When I get to see you naked
[Chorus]
Chicken tenders in my hotel, yeah
Christina's in my bed watchin' TV shows
When she hit the remote with her legs shakin', that's good love makin'
Watchin' wherever my head facin', it's for bugs, baby
[Post-Chorus]
White wings in my pillows and blankets (Lovin' under covers)
I got markings on my body from tracin' (All over my body, girl)
Rodeo for Cartier glasses (Oh, oh, oh)
But, girl, you know how itchy my back get

This simple phrase: “IF YOU CAN’T GET OUT OF IT, GET INTO IT.” means the world to me. When I worked at a restaurant as a busboy/server last year, my Mom would see my stress, my anxiety, my frustration before I went to work. Sh...

In a June 2020 interview with Annie Mac for BBC Radio 1, Dominic said:
I don’t want anyone to get confused, Christina’s not a real person. Also, I prefer chicken nuggets to tenders, that’s just a fact. I feel really bad about those two things, but other than that this song is one of my favorites. I...
