Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s first song as Silk Sonic, “Leave the Door Open,” earned them a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit and a spot performing at the 2021 Grammys.
The single comes ahead of their full-length album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, which features funk legend and “special guest host” Bootsy Collins. The pair picked apart how they cooked up “a groove from scratch” to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in an interview. “You guys are trying to figure out what’s going to work. What’s the math behind this that’s going to get everybody feeling good? What is it? Is it too heavy? Is it not heavy enough? And especially with this song, it’s a song that requires so much patience and delicate…,” .Paak said before Mars jumped in with the word, “Delicatessen.”
“Delicatessens. A lot of meat went into this song,” .Paak confirmed.

Say baby, say baby, say baby
What you doin’? (What you doin’?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Oh, you got plans? (You got plans?)
Don’t say that (shut yo’ trap)
I’m sippin’ wine (sip, sip)
In a robe (drip, drip)
I look too good (look too good)
To be alone (woo-hoo)
My house clean (house clean)
My pool warm (pool warm)
Just shaved (smooth like a newborn)
We should be dancing, romancing, in the east wing
And the west wing of this mansion, what’s happenin’?
I ain’t playin’ no games
Every word that I say
Is coming straight from the heart
So if you tryna lay in these arms
I’ma leave the door open
(I’ma leave the door open)
I’ma leave the door open, girl
(I’ma leave the door open, hopin’)
That you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you’re coming through
Ooh, you’re so sweet (so sweet)
So tight (so tight)
I won’t bite (uh-huh)
Unless you like (unless you like)
If you smoke (what you smoke?)
I got the haze (purple haze)
And if you’re hungry, girl I got filets (woo-hoo)
Ooh, baby, don’t keep me (waiting)
There’s so much love we could be making (shamone)
I’m talking kissing
Cuddling
Rose petals in the bathtub, girl, lets jump in
It’s bubblin’
I ain’t playin’ no games
Every word that I say
Is coming straight from the heart
So if you’re tryna lay in these arms
I’ma leave the door open
(I’ma leave the door open)
I’ma leave the door open, girl, mmm
(I’ma leave the door open, hopin’)
That you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you’re coming through
(C’mon girl)
La, la, la, la-la-la-la
I need you, baby
La, la, la, la-la-la-la
I got to see you, baby
La, la, la, la-la-la-la
Girl, I’m tryna give you this
Ah
Hey, hey
I’ma leave my door open, baby (I’ma leave the door open)
I’ma leave
I’ma leave my door open, girl
(I’ma leave the door open, hopin’)
And I’m hopin’
Hopin’ that you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you’re coming through, woo
(La, la, la, la-la-la-la)
Tell me (tell me that you’re coming through)
Woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo
Woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo
(La, la, la, la-la-la-la) la, la, la, la-la
(Tell me that you’re coming through)
Girl, I’m here just waiting for you (ayy)
Come on over, I’ll adore you (I gotta know)
(La, la, la, la-la-la-la)
I’m waiting, waiting, waiting for you (tell me that you’re coming through)
Girl, I’m here just waiting for you
Come on over, I’ll adore you
(La, la, la, la-la-la-la)
