Pretty Girl by Ice Spice featuring Rema, is a 2 minutes & 17 seconds track, written by Ice Spice & Rema, with Blake Slatkin, Ephrem Lopez & Jasper Harris.
Ice Spice’s new single Pretty Girl is delightful. The instrumental for the song made by RiotUSA is beautifully cooked, & comes off as being simple, yet vibrant. US music inc. Rolling Stone, described Pretty Girl as “simple and full of delicate synths until breaking out into fluttering polyrhythmic percussion.”
Pretty Girl is a love song about affection, commitment, & trust. The lyrical composition is beautiful; catchy & relatable. Ice Spice raps about affection:
Lookin’ at you got my eyes wide, damn (Got my eyes wide)
Lookin’ at you got my eyes wide, damn, so outta this world like sci-fi (Grrah)
Lookin’ at you got my eyes wide, damn (Lookin’ at you got my eyes wide)
Lookin’ at you got my eyes wide, damn, so outta this world like sci-fi
—
Yeah, you the one, there’s no number two
If I had three wishes, I’d waste ’em on you
Watch what you say, got faces on me
No waist is on me
Yeah, yeah, oh
—
Grrah
I ain’t been in love in a minute
Don’t know what it was, but you get it (Uh-huh)
Big three words out ya mouth and you meant it
You can get it, play your cards right, bet it (Mhm, grrah)
It’s our life, so baby, let’s live it
Haters super mad, we got ’em all livid (All livid, grrah)
Thinkin’ ’bout my future, got you all in it (Like)
Shootin’ for the stars, the sky has no limit (Grrah)
The chorus sang by Rema, expresses intent to groom ‘this love’ & urges commitment, as seen in the lyrics:
Yeah, pretty gyal, me no do no kiss and tell
As long as you treat me well, I will treat you more than gem
Me no send my chain, you are my real flex
Oya, yeah, gimme promise, you ain’t gonna bail on me
