About This Track
'Cigarette' pairs Raye with Mabel and Stefflon Don over a track that builds its central metaphor with deliberate swagger. The song frames desire as a habit, one that cuts both ways; Raye positions herself as something addictive and ultimately corrosive, a pleasure her subject cannot refuse. The production sits somewhere between trap and dancehall, giving the hook room to breathe across multiple vocal layers. Stefflon Don's verse shifts the register entirely, arriving in patois and bringing a different energy to the negotiation at the heart of the track. The song never settles into a single mood or perspective, instead layering competing voices and tempos to keep the dynamic restless. It's a study in control and leverage, wrapped in the language of physical attraction and the kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you're worth.
"Cigarette" is a single by Raye, from the album Side Tape - EP, released 3rd May 2018. The track is 3:08 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Raye.
