“Return the Favor” is the second single (UK) off of Keri Hilson’s debut album, In a Perfect World… (2009).
This song is an example of Keri’s musical diversity: it sparkles with electro-pop as she experiments in dirty talk with Timbaland (“I’ll be a bad girl, punish me”).
Return the Favor was most...
[Verse 1: Keri Hilson, Timbaland, Both]
(Aye, aye) Can you find my sexy body? Oh
Boy, come explore (Aye)
Baby, you first, I'll show you mine
You show me yours (Aye)
You about to have me OC
On my worst behavior
And I can return the favor
Hey, hey, hey
[Pre-Chorus: Keri Hilson, Timbaland, Both]
I don't know 'bout you but I'm down
Know you got what it takes
To turn me out (Turn you out)
Think with your body
Baby, let it out
[Chorus: Keri Hilson, Timbaland, Both]
Feeling alright
Boy, I feel just fine
Might even take it all the way with you
So keep it on the low, nobody knows
Betta make a promise, boy, you better be true
Tonight is ours
So baby, let's go
Feels so right, I can't say no
I'm gon' get on my worst behavior
I'll return the favor (Hey, hey)

[Verse 2: Keri Hilson, Timbaland, Both]
(Hey, aye) So you liking what I've been giving you?

So give it up, girl, I'm a busy man

Tell me what's your flavor
And I can return the favor
Hey, hey, hey
[Pre-Chorus: Keri Hilson, Timbaland, Both]

[Chorus: Keri Hilson, Timbaland, Both]

Return the Favor was written by Walter Millsap III & Patrick “J. Que” Smith & Candice Nelson & Balewa Muhammad & Ezekiel Lewis & Timbaland & Keri Hilson.
Return the Favor was produced by Timbaland.
Keri Hilson released Return the Favor on Tue Oct 07 2008.
Talking to Digital Spy about the song, Keri said that Timbaland called her and said: I’ve got a song that I think’s better than “The Way I Are”. I think it’s bigger.
They took the track and wrote “Return the Favor” over the beat. According to Hilson, she said the song was partially inspired by that...
