about
Kota Bank’s music feels like reading her own personal journal, a sonic amalgamation of intimate deep in the throws of navigating love, and ‘Mutual XO’ is no different.
As a melody heavy exploration into the alternative sides of Kota’s influences, ‘Mutual XO’ delves into unrequited crushing and the frustrations that follow. Fusing raw, hypnotic synths and bouncy pop production, the track ties together another example of Kota’s ability to lead listeners into a futuristic and melancholic hyperspace.
lyrics
Need that XO come on over
Vroom vroom baby skirt your motor
Zoom zoom baby whip the rover
Then trips on me boy fuck a chauffeur like
Wanna get you going
Wanna turn you on
Like you’re a radio, or my favourite song
Ooh come on
Wake up wakeup, don’t sleep on me
Unless I'm starring in your every dream boy
Make up make up, make it up to me
It’s not no secret that I want to keep
I can’t let go let go of the feeling
I want your XO, XO yeah I need it
I can’t let go let go of the feeling
Is it mutual? Am I delusional, baby?
Come and sip that coca cola, that’s Kota cola, when Kota’s over
Pu$$y pink like a flip phone Motorola
Like a kitchen sink that’s flowing over
I would think you would drink it up a little slower
Savour it cos baby when you blink it’s over
I’m thick like zinc I’m sick like smokers
Do you want me or are you just gonna fuck me over?
This is confusional, tell me
Love is this mutual do you
You think I’m beautiful or is it
Business as usual like
Are my texts mutable?
Got me smiling like a fucker at funeral
This energy’s not renewable
So fucking wake up baby
I want them kisses baby is that wrong?
I’m on a mission and I must stay strong cos
I’ve wanted this so long
Wake up wake up, is this mutual?
I can’t let go let go of the feeling
I want your XO, XO yeah I need it
I can’t let go let go of the feeling
Is it mutual? Am I delusional, baby?
