Songfacts®:

  • This superstar team-up finds Megan The Stallion and Dua Lipa serving up a big helping of dessert euphemisms to describe their sexual confidence. You could say it's a female hip-hop-pop version of Warrant's glam metal hit "Cherry Pie."
  • Dua Lipa opens the song with the chorus, which mixes car and food images. She tells her love interest he's getting the "ride of your life" and he might get "a bite of the sweetest pie."
  • During her two verses, Megan Thee Stallion owns her sexuality with a plateful of boastful sweet-based puns.
  • Megan first got the idea to collaborate with Dua Lipa from online fan-made mash-ups of their songs. Once the English pop star agreed to do a tune with her, Megan waited for the right beat. When a catchy, upbeat instrumentation arrived in her inbox from her "Thot Sh-t" co-producer OG Parker, she knew she'd found it. "I didn't just send her any track," Megan told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "I waited 'til I had the perfect one, and I feel like we both came to a mutual agreement that it was greatness."
  • Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa and OG Parker co-wrote the song with:

    Dua Lipa's "Levitating" co-writers Clarence Coffee Jr., Sarah Hudson, and KOZ.

    Los Angeles-based songwriter Nija Charles (Chris Brown featuring Drake's "No Guidance," Lady Gaga featuring Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me").
