“Sweet Tea” is Snoh Aalegra’s second single from her upcoming fourth studio album. The soft piano ballad has an 1980’s Michael Jackson vibe similar to iconic songs “Human Nature”, “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” & “The Lady In Our Life”.
[Verse 1]
I'm my best
I'm myself whenever you're around
You're my favorite sound
Favorite sound
I felt my pain drift away with November rain
Cleared my soul and my mind
And, you're the reason why (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You make no sense (Makes sense)
So perfect, it makes no sense
Like that empty cup you left in my, my fridge
And that sweet tea is sweeter than you, sweeter than you (Boy)
Sweeter than you
It feels like I'm dreamin', dreamin' (Dreamin')
But my dreams ain't sweetеr than you
My dreams ain't sweeter than you
No, my dreams ain't sweetеr than you
My dreams ain't sweeter than you
[Verse 2]
I feel so free
So serene, whenever you're with me
Sweep over my soul, yeah, I don't mind
I know the reasons why (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You make no sense (Makes sense)
So perfect, it makes no sense
And I don't know what this is but you're pure magic
And that sweet tea is sweeter than you, sweeter than you (Boy)
Sweeter than you
It feels like I'm dreamin', dreamin' (Dreamin')
But my dreams ain't sweeter than you
My dreams ain't sweeter than you
No, my dreams ain't sweeter than you
My dreams ain't sweeter than you
[Verse 3]
Nothing sweeter than your love
I'm fallin' way too deep now
Nothing sweeter that your love
I need you here
[Outro]
And that sweet tea is sweeter than you, sweeter than you, boy, sweeter than you
Sweeter than you, oh
It feels like I'm dreamin', dreamin', dreamin'
Nothing sweeter than your—
Sweeter than your love
Your love
Sweet Tea was written by Snoh Aalegra.
Sweet Tea was produced by No I.D. & Greg Phillinganes.
Snoh Aalegra released Sweet Tea on Wed Aug 02 2023.
I wrote it prior to kind of finishing up the production and once it was completed, it just really felt really spiritual in a way. It also has one of my favorite bridges I’ve ever written, and that bridge really takes me to another place in the song.
