When We Lyrics
[Intro]
When we
When we
Mmm
When we
Go
[Verse 1]
I like it when you lose it
I like it when you go there
I like the way you use it
I like that you don’t play fair
Recipe for a disaster
When I’m just try’na take my time
Stroke is gettin deep and faster
Screamin' like I’m outta line
[Pre-Chorus]
Who came to make sweet love? Not me
Who came to kiss and hug? Not me
Who came to beat it up? Rocky
And don't use those hands to put up that gate and stop me
[Chorus]
When we fuck
When we fuck
When we fuck
When we fuck
I could be aggressive (I could be aggressive)
I can be a savage (I can be a savage)
I just need your blessin (I just need your blessin’)
Say that I can have it, yeah
When we fuck
When we fuck
[Verse 2]
You love it when I lose it
You love it when I go there
You love the way I use it
You love that I don’t play fair
You end up callin me master (Master)
Say this universe is mine
When we’re done it’s a disaster
End up like this every time
[Pre-Chorus]
Who came to make sweet love? Not me
Who came to kiss and hug? Not me
Who came to beat it up? Rocky
And don't use those hands to put up that gate and stop me
[Chorus]
When we fuck
When we fuck
When we fuck
When we fuck
I could be aggressive (I could be aggressive)
I can be a savage (I can be a savage)
I just need your blessin (I just need your blessings’)
Say that I can have it, yeah
When we fuck
When we fuck
[Bridge]
Face down, ass up
Back, back, back it up
Lemme get both of them legs
And put em both behind your head
This shit is gettin deep, deep up in there
Feel your legs gettin weak up in here
Get a face full of that gushy, I’m close baby don’t push me, this is how it always should be when
[Chorus]
When we fuck
When we fuck
When we fuck
When we fuck
I could be aggressive (I could be aggressive)
I can be a savage (I can be a savage)
I just need your blessin (I just need your blessing’s)
Say that I can have it, yeah
When we fuck
When we fuck
When We Q&A

When We was written by J. Valentine & Tank.
Who produced When We's ?
When We was produced by Cardiak.
What was the inspiration behind this song?
The track really did it for me. I met Cardiak at Rooftop at a party in LA. He’s like, “I got that fire.” I said, “You got the fire?” He said, “I got that fire.” He’s talking about, “I’ll be on your album.” I said, “Hm, interesting.” Let me hear your work. He sent me a load of maybe five or six track...
What was going on the day Tank recorded this?
I had a free day in New York. The weather was great. I love New York in the summertime. I like to walk. I won’t drive to the studio no matter how far. I stay awake. I’ll walk to the studio and just clear my mind, get my mind together. I hit the gym up in Equinox. Platinum Sound is one of my favorite...
What was Tank's writing process like?
I do everything off the top. I freestyle everything, so once I found the hook, then everything else was just … I’m in the booth. I’m just building it line by line, two lines at a time. The vocals you hear now are the vocals that I recorded then. It’s not like, “Let’s go back and touch it up and do t...
What does Tank want people to get from this song?
I want people to get back into sexy, into having that moment, searching for that moment and being okay with it. Sexy’s good, and everybody tries to give sexy a bad rap, but sexy is relative as well. It’s hard to judge someone else’s sexy when someone says, “I’m just trying to be sexy.” That ain’t se...
Tank's usually a sensual singer—why is he so forward on this song?
There is no soundtrack from a R&B standpoint for this particular moment of the sexual experience, when it gets aggressive. When you’re sweating. When furniture starts to move. Where’s the R&B song that supports that? There are R&B songs that you can play that feel good, but what’s the so...
