“Banana” is a flirty, bilingual sugar-rush of a pop song where Brazilian star Anitta teams up with Becky G to turn the dance floor into a candy shop of desire; packed with mouth-watering metaphors like chocolate, cotton candy and, of course, banana, the lyrics celebrate unapologetic female confidence, playful dominance and mutual pleasure, inviting the listener to follow the leader, shake their hips and satisfy a sweet tooth for love while reveling in the delicious freedom of owning one’s sensuality.
