- Hey, what's up? It's Saweetie.
I'm here, and I'm trying to guess my songs in one second.
- (FBE) Saweetie, thank you so much for being with us here today.
We are gonna be playing a little game with you,
where we're gonna play you part of one of your songs.
And we're gonna see how long it takes you to guess
which one it is. But of course, that sounds
a little too easy, so there's a catch.
Your songs will all be distorted in a variety of ways,
which might make it pretty difficult. - I'm pretty competitive,
so I think I'll rise to the occasion.
You gotta feel the heart, spirit, and soul of the record.
You scarin' me, girl. How fast you gonna play the song?
- Do you think you are ready to get into this challenge?
- I'm ready, girl. - For this first round,
we have some of your songs that are accompanied
by the music video. But this will be in reverse,
so we'll see if this will make it a little easier for ya.
♪ (reversed audio) ♪
- Tap In? - You're correct.
(ding) - That's that mm.
That hmm. - Do you do that a lot
in your songs? - In my newer project, I do,
but you guys haven't heard the other new song,
so I was like, hmm... okay, Tap In. (chuckles)
- For this one, we're gonna be switching it up
to keep you on your toes, and this one's gonna be played
at 3.5 speed. - You trying to set me up
for failure. ♪ (sped-up audio) ♪
Girl, what?! Oh, is it Up Now?
(ding) (laughs)
Played yourself! Girl, I seen that
blue fur coat, honey. - Well, don't worry.
We're gonna make it a little bit harder now,
because we're gonna be switching it up,
where for these next few songs, we are going to take away
the music videos. - Well, if you keep speeding it up
the way you keep speeding it up, I don't know if I'm gonna
be able to hang in there. (chuckles)
- (FBE) This one will be in verse. - In reverse?
♪ (reversed audio) ♪
Sis! Come on now. I'm not a robot.
Is it Yuso? - Nope.
- See, when you mash up my voice, it just sounds so sexy.
So, I'm just thinking, what's a sexy record? Yuso.
That's why I keep saying Yuso. - (FBE) Okay, well, let's show you
five seconds of this in reverse, and we'll see if maybe
you can get it this time.

and then we'll see if you have any last guesses.
- Okay. ♪ (sped-up audio) ♪
- Give up? - Not I.
Nope, nope, nope.
Icy Girl?
- You are correct. - Ah! Look at me.
See? See? (laughs) I took it, and I slowed it down
in my head, and I heard "Can't stop, won't stop, get guap."

That don't count. - We gotta keep you
on your toes, you know? - (laughs) No.
All right. We got one more? - We got one last song.
And I will say, this is probably gonna be the hardest one.
- No, that was the hardest one. You couldn't even understand
what was going on. - It is going to be slowed down,
reversed, and have a filter. - Has anyone ever guessed
all of these? - No. (laughs)
But let's see how you do. - Okay.
♪ (warped audio) ♪
Girl, let's just skip to 15. - You know what? Yeah.
I'll just skip to the 15. I'll go past this
five-second one right now. - Can you give me a clue?

guessed this song previously if that helps.

My Type. (ding)
- (laughs) So, how'd you guess? - 'Cause I speak alien talk, girl.
That's why. They talk to me all the time,
believe it or not. - So, overall, I think you got
five out of seven, which I think was pretty good.
- So, what's that? A B+? A B for bougie?
This is a setup. It's kind of like when you go
to the mall, and you gotta play the game, where you're supposed
to go down and pick up the prize. It just sets you up for failure.
Like, how we supposed to understand what's going on? (chuckles)
There was definitely some inspiration.
I might have to rewind a track or two,
'cause I sound a little sexy when it's backwards.
- Saweetie, as an artist, you've kind of really used
social media to your advantage. You first gained a lot of traction
on Instagram. And even more recently,
there's been a ton of TikTok trends attached to your songs.
So, for you, how big of an impact would you say
that social media has on current artists trying
to make it in this industry? - I always tell people,
I feel like social media is the new streets.
Like, you don't gotta stand on the corner no more.
All you gotta do is #post. And if it's good, it'll go viral.
If it's good, it'll be a trend on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok.
I'm just excited, because Icy Girl was number one on TikTok,
My Type was number one, and now Tap In is, so I'm grateful.
- Finally, after going through some of your bigger songs today,
it's obvious you've done a lot in the past few years.
But do you have anything exciting coming up
that you can tell us about? - Girl, I got pretty [censored] music
on the way. I got fashion.
I have another capsule coming out soon with the fashion line.
In this time-- in a social climate with the injustices that you've seen
in the Black community, I've been inspired to create
my own foundation. So, I haven't announced it yet,
but me and my team is working on a foundation, and we will be
supporting autism, single mothers, the Black community,
minorities as well, and education. I have a big platform.
And with a big platform, you gotta do big things.
And you have to give back to the people who support you.
So, I'm excited to expand and just to go beyond music.
Thanks for watching React. Make sure you follow me
on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Twitter,
all them good things. You know, Tap In is blowing up.
The Tap In remix is out now. It's @Saweetie. Love y'all. (smooches)
