About This Track

'Dontcha' rides a slick bassline and funk groove, its three-minute arc built on the kind of production that makes brevity feel like a crime. The track moves with upbeat energy, Syd's smooth voice steering the song through verses that blend seduction with straightforward desire, the repeated title hook becoming both question and plea. The song was written by David Rosser, Nick Green, and Syd, and carries the Neptunes' fingerprints in its production choices. It works as a study in control and surrender, the narrator caught between wanting to lead and wanting to know if the feeling is mutual, the bassline and rhythm section doing most of the emotional heavy lifting whilst the vocal stays measured and cool.

"Dontcha" is a track by The Internet, from the album Feel Good , released 11th September 2013. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Dontcha

[Verse 1]

I can be your fantasy while you're dancin' alone tonight, yeah

Or you can be my majesty

Got me runnin' for you

Said, we ain't got to take it slow

Here's what you do to me, yeah

I think it's time to take control

Girl, I just want to love you

[Pre-Chorus]

Bad that you want to give it

I want to give it to you

I know you won't admit it

But at least I know the truth

The way you move around me

There's somethin' seductive to it

Got a place we can go if you're down

Let's go all the way

[Chorus]

('Cause basically I)

I just wanna ride with you

(I gotta getcha)

'Cause I just wanna vibe with you

(Let's find someplace to go)

'Cause I just gotta know if you want me too

(Dontcha want me? Yeah)

('Cause basically I)

I just wanna ride with you

(I gotta getcha)

'Cause I just wanna vibe with you

(Let's find someplace to go)

'Cause I just gotta know if you want me too

(Dontcha want me? Yeah)

[Verse 2]

Swimmin' through your galaxy

Starstruck on all of you, yeah

Perfect love analogy

That's how I describe you

[Pre-Chorus]

Bad that you want to give it

I want to give it to you

I know you won't admit it

But at least I know the truth

The way you move around me

There's somethin' seductive to it

Got a place we can go if you're down

Let's go all the way

[Chorus]

('Cause basically I)

I just wanna ride with you

(I gotta getcha)

'Cause I just wanna vibe with you

(Let's find someplace to go)

'Cause I just gotta know if you want me too

(Dontcha want me? Yeah)

('Cause basically I)

I just wanna ride with you

(I gotta getcha)

'Cause I just wanna vibe with you

(Let's find someplace to go)

'Cause I just gotta know if you want me too

(Dontcha want me? Yeah)

[Outro]

Dontcha, dontcha, dontcha, dontcha want me?

Dontcha, dontcha, dontcha want me?

Dontcha, dontcha, dontcha want me?

Dontcha, dontcha

Dontcha, dontcha, dontcha, dontcha want me?

Dontcha, dontcha, dontcha want me?

Dontcha, dontcha, dontcha want me?

Dontcha dontcha
