VERSE 1
Golden hour on my skin
Sun still dancing when I move
Every shade tells a story
Yeah, I’m glowing in my truth
No rush in the way I walk
I let the moment take its time
I don’t chase the light no more
It already knows I shine
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
I’ve been good to my body
Even better to my soul
If loving me is the vibe
Then baby, let it roll
⸻
CHORUS
Sunkissed, feeling like cocoa butter
Melanin glowing, smooth like summer
Brown sugar when I move my waist
Same truth, just different shades
Sunkissed, yeah I love this weather
Every tone getting better together
I don’t need no filter on my face
Same truth, just different shades
⸻
POST-CHORUS (instrumental)
Flute melody
Guitar answers
Soft vocal hums
⸻
VERSE 2
Barefoot dancing on the balcony
Salt air kissing my hair
Confidence looks good on me
Yeah, I wear it everywhere
I don’t dim for nobody
I don’t borrow someone else’s shine
If the sun made room for me
Then I’m right on time
⸻
PRE-CHORUS 2
I’m at peace with every mirror
Every version I’ve been through
If you love it when I glow
Then you’ll love it when I’m cool
⸻
CHORUS (repeat)
Sunkissed, feeling like cocoa butter
Melanin glowing, smooth like summer
Brown sugar when I move my waist
Same truth, just different shades
Sunkissed, yeah I love this weather
Every tone getting better together
I don’t need no filter on my face
Same truth, just different shades
⸻
BRIDGE
Sunset dripping on my shoulders
Night breeze telling me stay
I don’t gotta say too much
My body speaks anyway
⸻
FINAL CHORUS (slightly lifted, fuller harmonies)
Sunkissed, every shade divine
All this beauty still mine
If the sun wrote a love song
It would sound like this time
Sunkissed
Same truth, different shades
⸻
OUTRO
Guitar riff fades
Soft laugh or breath
Shaker carries it out
⸻
