Company

"**Company**" is the first single off of Tinashe's second studio album "**Nightride**". The single was released by RCA Records on September 16, 2016. The song was written and produced by American R&B producer The-Dream. The song follows her previous single "Superlove", released on July 15, 2016. The song's official video was met with acclaim, with *Billboard* calling it "choreographic perfection".

On September 15, Tinashe performed the song, alongside "Superlove", on MTV's *Wonderland* program.

## *Background*

After saving lives in the video for her first single “Superlove”, the singer-songwriter Tinashe is back with “Company”, a brand new R&B song and the buzz single from her project "**Nightride**".

The track, written & produced by The-Dream (who also produced Superlove), brings Tinashe back to her sexy vibe according to the video teaser she posted onto Twitter.

## *Critical reception*

Danny Schwartz of HotNewHipHop described the song as if Tinashe were "taking applicants for a no-strings-attached situation that literally millions of young men would be more than happy to fill". However, Schwartz continued that "despite her lack of a companion", the sexual tension on the track was described as "somehow through the roof".

[Hook]

I don't need the lovin'

So don't make this something, see

I'm nothing like a girlfriend

I'm not like someone I'm supposed to be

And I just want some company, company

I just need some company

I just need some company

I just need some company

[Verse 1]

'Panion, shout-out to my road dawg

I'm straight up

With this one boy I know of

I call 'em

When I start feeling alone

I want it and sometimes see I don't

[Pre-Hook]

I don't need no problems wit nobody

And I know how to get there, don't follow me

I just need a moment, fuck and leave

You can say you had it all

No strings

[Hook]

I don't need the lovin'

So don't make this something, see

I just need some company

I just need some company

[Verse 2]

Companions

But we keep it even lower

I never, ever been the type to just show up

And you can't ever be the type-a-guy to just show up

And treat this like a meet and greet

And then we go up

[Pre-Hook]

I don't need no problems wit nobody

And I know how to get there, don't follow me

You can say you had it all

No strings

Just a little sweet fling, baby

You don't have to buy things

I just want the high, supply me

[Hook]

I don't need the lovin'

So don't make this something, see

I'm nothing like a girlfriend

I'm not like someone I'm supposed to be

And I just want some company, company

I just need some company

I just need some company

I just need some company

[Outro]
