Ebubé’s Lay With Me: A Tender Ode to Intimacy, Drenched in Satin-Toned R&B

Ebubé’s Lay With Me doesn’t race toward a climax—it lounges, slow-burning in its own mood like the scent of incense at dusk.

Anchored by dusky synth chords and featherlight percussion, this mid-tempo slow jam wears its vulnerability on its sleeve.

“Baby, please, just leave all your load / At the door, let’s just be,” he pleads—his falsetto not just a vocal choice, but an emotional posture.

Self-produced and never in a hurry to impress, the track feels like a voice memo you weren’t supposed to hear—intimate, low-lit, and unfiltered.

“I know that you are the prize / Every single time you slide,” he murmurs, not with bravado but a quiet kind of reverence.

There’s a retro honesty to the way he opens up, but the production sidesteps pastiche.

You can hear the gospel roots in the chord progressions and the classical training in the structure, but it all comes through with a casual cool that fits firmly in the now—lush, languid, and sure of itself without needing to shout.

This is R&B that actually wants to feel something. Not perform it.

Ebubé’s Lay With Me Lyrics

Verse 1
Candles lit, roses picked
Read my lips, I’m gonna lay you down, lay you down (Yeah)
Grab your shit, half past six
Bring them tricks
I’m gonna lay you down
Lay you down, lay you down

Pre-Chorus
I know that you are the prize
Every single time you slide
That’s why I gotta keep you right
You don’t need to think about it

Chorus
Baby, please, just leave all your load
At the door, lets just be (Let us be)
What I want most
Is to provide all your needs
Hold you so close
When I hear you say, “Oui” (Baby, dis : “Oui”)
So take off your clothes
And just lay with me

Post-Chorus
Ah-ah, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh
Baby, lay with me
Ah-ah, oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh

Verse 2
How I’ll miss you, I’ll have issues
Let me kiss it before you go (Before you go)
On the island, twenty-four hours, not enough so I’m takin’ it slow
Ain’t goin’ nowhere, let’s just stay at my place (Don’t go)
Go by the fireplace, we can ge tlit
You let it rain a couple hours
Let’s take a shower (Oh, oh)
And dry off when we’re done (When we’re done, oh)

Pre-Chorus
I know that you are the prize (You are the prize, you are the prize)
Every single time you slide (Oh)
That’s why I gotta keep you right (Keep you right)
You don’t need to think about it

Chorus
Baby, please, just leave all your load
At the door, lets just be (Girl, I’m here for you, girl, I’m here for you)
What I want most (Most)
Is to provide all your needs
Hold you so close
When I hear you say, “Oui” (Ooh, baby, dis : “Oui”)
So take off your clothes (Take them clothes off, baby)
And just lay with me (Lay with me, ooh)
Leave all your load (Leave all your load)
At the door, lets just be (At the door, lets just be)
What I want most (All I want)
Is to provide all your needs (Is to provide your needs)
Hold you so close (I’ll hold you close)
When I hear you say, “Oui” (Mon bébé, dis moi : “Oui”)
So take off your clothes (Just take ’em off)
And just lay with me
