Fridayy’s Baddest In The Room Is a Mesmerising Mix of Groove and Style

10th September, 2024

If you thought Fridayy’s breakout moment on DJ Khaled’s GOD DID was a one-off, it’s time to reconsider.

With multiple Grammy nominations, collaborations with top-tier artists, and hundreds of millions of streams to his name, Fridayy has been proving he’s here for the long haul.

Released on June 21, 2024, Baddest In The Room is another step in his continued rise, a track that solidifies his place as an artist who blends genres effortlessly.

The September 6th music video drop, featuring a playful homage to Coming to America and a cameo from LL Cool J, adds another layer to this irresistible track, confirming Fridayy’s knack for crafting music that resonates on every level.

Setting the Tone: A Chant That Pulls You In

The song starts with a rhythm that immediately grabs your attention.

The claps, and soft choir hum bring you into a space where the beat takes its time to unfold. It’s not rushed, and neither is Fridayy.

When his vocals finally arrive with “I’m two shots in, what am I supposed to do?” the scene has already been set.

This is more than just a party song; it’s about the kind of connection that cuts through the noise.

The vibe feels immediate and intimate all at once.

R&B, Afrobeats, and Hip-Hop Seamlessly Fused

What makes Baddest In The Room stand out isn’t just the catchy hook or Fridayy’s smooth vocals, but how he fuses multiple genres so seamlessly.

There’s a soft R&B melody running throughout the track, but it’s anchored by a steady Afrobeats groove that keeps the rhythm flowing.

Beneath it all, there’s a subtle hip-hop energy that gives the track its swagger.

Each element feels organic, never forced, which makes the entire song feel like a conversation rather than a performance.

Fridayy’s Vocals: Smooth Yet Conversational

Fridayy’s vocals land in the track with ease. His lines, like “I’m just tryna catch a vibe, what you wanna do?” don’t feel like typical lyrics—they feel like something you’d hear in a real conversation.

The chorus, where he repeats “You’re the baddest in the room,” is understated yet impactful, the kind of hook that stays with you without being too over-the-top.

It’s less about grand declarations and more about simply stating what is already obvious. Fridayy doesn’t need to shout to make you listen.

The Subtle Magnetism of Presence

The lyrics in Baddest In The Room go deeper than just noticing someone’s looks.

“I don’t know what it is, but you just got it” encapsulates that feeling of being drawn to someone’s presence, not just their appearance.

It’s the kind of connection that doesn’t need to be explained but is undeniably felt.

Fridayy has a way of expressing this in both the lyrics and the music, with the steady, almost hypnotic rhythm echoing this unspoken pull.

A Visual Story Rooted in Coming to America

The music video, directed by Mike The Shooter and Edgar Cutino, pulls from Eddie Murphy’s classic Coming to America and layers it with Fridayy’s smooth confidence.

Set in a barbershop and a club, the video plays out like a modern-day competition to crown the “baddest in the room.”

LL Cool J’s cameo feels like a subtle nod to the golden era of hip-hop, but it’s Fridayy’s calm, commanding presence that anchors the entire visual experience.

He’s not competing for attention; he’s simply owning the space.

Fridayy’s Unstoppable Momentum

It’s clear Fridayy isn’t slowing down anytime soon. From his collaborations with artists like Lil Baby and Chris Brown to his critically acclaimed When It Comes to You, Fridayy has shown he can move between genres and styles with ease.

Baddest In The Room builds on this momentum, showcasing his ability to mix elements of gospel, Afrobeats, and hip-hop into something entirely his own.

With lines like, “You just make me feel alive, and I can’t explain it,” Fridayy continues to tap into the emotional depth that defines his music.

Commanding the Room Without a Word

If you thought commanding a room meant making noise, Fridayy’s Baddest In The Room proves otherwise.

The track builds slowly, never rushing but always holding your attention.

The hook is understated yet powerful, and the rhythm invites you in without needing to shout for attention.

Fridayy’s approach is all about balance—allowing the music, the lyrics, and the energy to speak for themselves.

Shame Valentine’s Day is behind us because Baddest In The Room would’ve been the perfect soundtrack.

But hey, you can always save it for Valentine’s 2025—unless, of course, Fridayy drops another romance-themed banger before then. Given his track record, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Fridayy’s Baddest In The Room Lyrics

Intro
The baddest in the room
The way that you move

Verse 1
I’m two shots in, what am I supposed to do?
When your body’s callin’, lovin’ that type of view, uh
Ain’t the type to play with somethin’ so special, know that I’d be a fool, uh
Ass too fat, know just what to do with it, control it

Pre-Chorus
I’m in the middle of the party, but all I’m thinkin’ ’bout is you
A hundred million shawties, but you make it easy to choose
How many men wish they could wake up right next to you?
Oh, baby, bring it closer, I know just what to do

Chorus
You’re the baddest in the room, the baddest in the room
The way that you move, I’m focused on you, oh
The baddest in the room
I’m five shots in right now, and all I see is you

Verse 2
Work it, work it, work it, work it, baby
I know it’s been a while for you, baby (Baby)
Know you won’t give it up if ain’t me, if ain’t me
You know that we locked in
And your body is mine, girl, forever
Don’t take it from me, you know better
Won’t compare them to you, girl, I’ll never

Chorus
You’re the baddest in the room, the baddest in the room
The way that you move, I’m focused on you (Yeah), oh
The baddest in the room, hmm
I’m five shots in right now, and all I see is you

Outro
The baddest in the room
The baddest in the room
The way that you move, I’m focused on you
The baddest in the room
Ten shots in right now, and all I want is you
