Can I hit it in the morning
Can I hit it in the morning (laughs)
Oh I'm nervous, why am I nervous?
This is so exciting. I don't know. What's up
My name is H.E.R. and I'm about to play a game of song association with ELLE. So the rules of the game are very simple
I'm gonna be given a word and I have 10 seconds to use that word in a song
Why is that the first song that came to my mind? I think of all the old school songs. All right, let's do this
I'm ready! Again... Oh...
"Try again, try again
Again, again, First you don't succeed, first you don't succeed..." Aliyah "Dust yourself off and try again"
I love this one.
"World"
"If I could change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe (Humming the song)
If I could change
The world. " That's Babyface and Eric Clapton.
"Girl" Ooh
"Girl, if they don't know your worth, tell 'em you're my girl..."
That's "The Internet".
You guys! Three of three!
Ok
Oh
"I set fire to the rain and watched it burn as I... (Hums the song)"
Adele "When it fell something..." You get it.
"Lady" Uh
"You're my lady.... you're my lady. Oh, I can tell they're looking at us, you're my lady" Thats D'Angelo.
Oh
Okay, one of my favorite Donny Hathaway's songs. "Love, love, your love
Um, why'd it take so long to come to me?" It's only that. It's Donny Hathaway.
Heh "I just wanna see how beautiful you are. You know that I see it, I know you're a star.
Where you go I follow, no matter how far. If life is a movie, then you're the best part."
Oh
It's me and Daniel Caesar.
"Lost" Um...
My song
"A lost soul can't lead the people, a lost soul can't lead the people. Confusing the celebrity with your integrity
You drinkin' Hennessy for your therapy Can't get no peace of mind, can't get no serenity
But the public ain't the enemy it's the inner me." That's Lost Souls...
By H.E.R.
"All"
"All I do is think about you , ooh, baby just suppose I should happen to cross your mind." Stevie Wonder.
Ego
"You got a big ego...(Hums)" That's Beyoncé.
Ego. Mmm
"You make me feel..."
"You make me feel like a natural woman."
Natural. Natural Woman. That was "Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin
Rest in peace, Aretha.
Forever? I think of all the old school songs. Um,
Actually, uh
"Oh I guess forever doesn't last too long. Forever doesn't last too long these days. And I tried to believe..." Jazmine Sullivan.
Forever don't last.
Lights?
"Leave the lights on. Leave the, leave the lights on." That's my song, Lights On.
"Morning" Um...
"Can I hit it in the morning? (laughs) Can I hit it in the morning?" I forgot
Um, it's J. Cole and Drake
"Real" Um, Uh...
"I'm real. I'm real, I'm really really real." That's Kendrick. That's one of my favorite albums
It's one of my favorite kendrick albums, did I just get every single word?! Wow!
You you want to add more words because I'm right now undefeated. I'm undefeated right now. This is crazy Wow
The champ this was really fun. I was nervous and I had no reason to be nervous
