## Background

On the Spotify storyline she explained:

“*I love juxtaposition in instrumentation to lyric. A gospel song with a contrasting lyric. This song is empowering and fun to end the album. Me and Mike Sabath also recorded hundreds and hundreds of vocals on top of each other to create the choir together.*”

## Lyrics

So I'm dancing on the kitchen floor

I caught a vibe to and a song to whine to

I said, "I'll whine my waist for evermore

Until I find you, until I find you"

I'm gon' buss it down, I'm gon' buss it (she gon' buss it)

I'm gon' tic-tock on it like a clock, I'm gon' touch it

Oh, I'm gon' back it up and break it down and he's gon' love it (he's gon' love it)

I'm gon' buss it down, buss it down

I'm just tryin' to prioritize

Who I grind for, who I take my time for

I got my mind on my money, got my girls by my side

Until I find more, something I'll ride for

I'm gon' buss it down, I'm gon' buss it (she gon' buss it)

I'm gon' tic-tock on it like a clock, I'm gon' touch it

Oh, I'm gon' back it up and break it down and he's gonna love it (he's gonna love it)

(Mmh) I'm gon' buss it down, oh, oh

I'm gon' buss it down, she gon' buss it down

(Back it up like a truck) he gon' buss it down, they gon' buss it down

(Slow it down, speed it up) shake it 'til my ocean drown it, shake it 'til your ocean drown it

(Shake it 'til your ocean drown) until I decide that I'm settling down

Oh, best believe I'm ready now

I'm gon', uh, hmm, eeh

And then, I'm gonna uh-uh-uh

I'ma, uh (they gon' buss it down)

I'm gon', uh, hmm, eeh

And then, I'm gonna uh-uh-uh

I'ma, uh (they gon' buss it down)

I'm gon' buss it down, I'm gon' buss it (she gon' buss it)

I'm gon' tic-tock on it like a clock, I'm gon' touch it

Oh, I'm gon' back it up and break it down

And he's gonna love it (he's gon' love it), yeah, aye
