Normani Kordei is working on her debut solo album, and the 23-year-old former Fifth Harmony member has continued to build some momentum for its release with the release of a new single “Motivation,” which was co-written by none other than Ariana Grande.
Normani previously discussed her creative process with Grande during an interview with Rolling Stone.
“She’s been very supportive of me, too. I talk to her about the creative process,” Normani said. “I’m like, ‘When did you know your album was done.’ She was just like, ‘Honestly, you’ll know. Nobody will have to tell you. You’ll feel it […] She’s dope. She also has a part in the record that I’m releasing, too. She wrote on it.”
You can check out the official music video for Normani’s debut solo single “Motivation” below, along with the track’s lyrics.
Normani – ‘Motivation’ (Music Video & Lyrics)
[Intro: Normani]
I’ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight
And‚ baby‚ turn around‚ let me give you innovation, hey
‘Cause I do it so right
[Verse 1: Normani]
ou got that good good, baby‚ don’t you?
Got that good good, baby, don’t you?
But you leavin’ solo
And you regular‚ damn, and you regular
I ain’t gon’ keep keep fightin’ for it
Ain’t gon’ keep keep fightin’ for it
‘Cause you know this thing here
Ain’t regular, damn, ain’t regular
[Pre-Chorus: Normani]
Fallin’ into the bed
Why would we ever do somethin’ instead of
Fallin’ into the bed right now? (Now, now, now)
[Chorus: Normani]
I’ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation (Hey)
‘Cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now (Hey)
A little motivation, alright
[Verse 2: Normani & Ariana Grande]
ou got a bad one, baby, don’t you?
Got a bad one, baby, don’t you
And we both know there’s no
One better, boy, no one better, boy
Too late, won’t make it, I’ma tell ’em
Get you naked, but I won’t tell ’em (Yee)
‘Cause you know that there’s no
One better, boy, no one better, boy
[Pre-Chorus: Normani]
Fallin’ into the bed
Why would we ever do somethin’ instead of
Fallin’ into the bed right now?
(Eh, right now, now)
[Chorus: Normani]
I’ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight (And give it tonight)
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation (Hey)
‘Cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now (Hey)
A little motivation, alright
[Bridge: Normani]
Hey, ohh-ohh-ohh
A little motivation (Ohh-ohh-ohh)
[Chorus: Normani]
I’ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight (And give it tonight)
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation (Hey)
‘Cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now (Hey)
A little motivation, alright
[Outro]
Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh
