About This Track

Normani and Calvin Harris join forces with Wizkid on 'Checklist', a track built on the producer's minimalist groove and Normani's assured vocal presence. The song moves between her commanding lead and Wizkid's answering verses, each voice settling into the space Harris creates without clutter or distraction. Normani's chorus sits at the centre, repeating the title as both metaphor and refusal, a posture of control wrapped in the language of desire. The production stays lean. Harris lets the rhythm breathe, letting Normani's phrasing and Wizkid's conversational flow do the heavy lifting. There's a clarity to the arrangement that lets every syllable land, every ad-lib register. The song doesn't reach for grandeur; it trusts its own restraint.

"Checklist" is a track by Normani, from the album Normani x Calvin Harris, released 22nd October 2018. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Normani.

[Intro: Wizkid and Normani]

Oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus: Normani]

I got the addy, I don’t need no GPS's (Uh, uh)

Diamonds shining, diamonds shining

Now I keep them VVS's (Uh, uh)

Don’t lie, don't lie

You tryna keep me like a checklist (Uh, uh)

Slow whine, slow whine

Body cold like a necklace (Uh, uh, uh)

[Post-Chorus: Normani]

I see you

Straight up out of heaven wit' it, uh

Baby, you a blessing wit' it, uh

Come teach me a lesson wit' it, uh

Yeah, I see you

Straight up out of heaven wit' it, uh

Baby, you a blessing wit' it uh

Come teach me a lesson wit' it, uh

[Verse 1: Normani]

Come show me what the neck ’bout

Might show you what the check ’bout

Might show you what that net 'bout

Give it all to you if you check out

Way you moving it around me

Make me feel like you wan’ drown me

Make me feel like you wan' wet me

Only you know how to get me up

[Chorus: Normani]

I got the addy, I don't need no GPS's (Uh, uh)

Diamonds shining, diamonds shining

Now I keep them VVS’s (Uh, uh)

Don't lie, don't lie

You tryna keep me like a checklist (Uh, uh)

Slow whine, slow whine

Body cold like a necklace (Uh, uh, uh)

[Post-Chorus: Normani]

I see you

Straight up out of heaven wit' it, uh

Come teach me a lesson wit' it, uh

Straight up out of heaven wit' it, uh

Baby, you a blessing wit' it, uh

Come teach me a lesson wit' it, uh

[Verse 2: Wizkid]

My gyal your body cold like a necklace

No bad mind, really can touch this

Gold so cold when you whine this

This straight one put you on me checklist

Me loving the love, 'cause it's reckless

Girl, I'm a sinner, come bless me

Baby girl, no stress me

Say bad gyal, so you kill with that vibe

Uh

[Chorus: Normani]

I got the addy, I don't need no GPS's (Uh, uh)

Diamonds shining, diamonds shining

Now I keep them VVS's (Uh, uh)

Don't lie, don't lie

You tryna keep me like a checklist (Uh, uh)

Slow whine, slow whine

Body cold like a necklace (Uh, uh, uh)

[Outro: Wizkid]

Me need a likkle bit of your time, and

Just let me give you keys to my life, and

Baby girl, show me your vibe

Baby girl, show me your light

Me need a likkle bit of your time, and

Said me give you keys to my life, and

Baby girl, show me your vibe

Take control and control
