🎶 Better When I’m Late
Structure: Intro → Verse 1 → Pre-Chorus → Chorus → Verse 2 → Pre-Chorus → Chorus → Bridge → Chorus → Outro
[Intro]
(Bass kicks in immediately with a rhythmic, filtered synth)
(Check the watch... yeah.)
(They're already there? Good.)
[Beat drops to just kick and snaps]
💄 Verse 1
[Cool, conversational flow]
Tried to leave but I swapped the fit (Swap it!)
Hair wasn’t hittin’, had to fix it quick
Gloss on the lip, lights on the skin
If it ain’t a ten, I ain’t steppin' in.
Phone keep buzzin’ like "Where you at?"
I’m in the mirror like "Give me that" (Ooh, she bad)
One last check then I’m out the door
They ain't seen a "Late" look like this before.
🔁 Pre-Chorus
[Build – Rising synth tension]
I ain’t rushin’ nothin’ tonight (Nothin')
If it’s meant for me, it’ll wait outside
I don’t show up outta place...
I show up when I own the space. [Drum Fill]
🔥 Chorus
[The Drop – Full Bass and Power]
I look better when I’m late
Make ‘em wait, let ‘em wait (Let 'em simmer!)
Every second worth the weight
I look better when I’m late
Walk in, all eyes on me
That “Where you been?” energy (Where you been at?)
Time don’t run me, I set the pace
I look better when I’m late!
👠 Verse 2
[The "Arrival" – Beat gets moodier]
Pull up slow, I don’t jump out fast (Patience...)
I let the anticipation last
Door swing open, heels hit the street
Watch the room go mute when I move my feet.
No apology in my stride
Got that "Main Character" inside
If they mad, that’s a "them" thing, babe
I don’t move for pressure, I move for the stage.
🔁 Pre-Chorus
[Build – More layered harmonies this time]
I ain’t rushin’ nothin’ tonight
If it’s meant for me, it’ll wait outside
I don’t show up outta place...
I show up when I own the space.
🎶 Chorus
[Full Energy]
I look better when I’m late
Make ‘em wait, let ‘em wait (Yeah, you waitin'!)
Every second worth the weight
I look better when I’m late!
💥 Bridge
[Breakdown – Minimal instruments, vocal focused]
Fashionably late? Nah, I perfected it (I'm the GOAT)
Timing so good, I’m directin' it
[Beat builds rapidly]
If I’m behind, just know it’s fate
‘Cause I don’t just show up… [Full Silence] I elevate.
🎶 Final Chorus
[Maximum Energy – Ad-lib heavy]
I look better when I’m late (So much better!)
Make ‘em wait, let ‘em wait (Let 'em wait for it)
Every second worth the weight
I look better when I’m late!
Walk in, all eyes on me (All on me!)
That “Where you been?” energy
Time don’t run me, I set the pace
I look better when I’m late!
🎧 Outro
[Smooth Fade]
(You're welcome for the wait...)
(I told you it was worth it.)
If I’m late...
[Echoing] It’s on purpose.
[Final Snap]
