All songs written by Nadia Berry.SOUND"Hooked on Love" is a simplistic, sultry R&B slow-jam that opens with light piano notes and synths, with soft breaths from Nadia that are heard faintly in the background, opening with the line "Honey, put that cigarette out", Nadia's voice sounding gentle, yet demanding. Following on from in-your-face rock tracks and the dance anthem "Shadow", it's a much needed more relaxed track that keeps its slow, sensual pace throughout the whole song. Finishing the song with "And I don't even think we care / If we're late for work...", linking perfectly into next song "One of Those Days".
COMMENTS"The first of the two more seductive songs on the album is 'Hooked on Love', a more relaxed track that's made to just put on in the background for you to simply unwind to, or get crazy to, hey, I don't judge! I'm not very open when it comes to saying why I wrote certain tracks, or who I wrote them about, but I think it's pretty obvious who inspired these two songs on the record. I wrote this just a short while after me and Ryan had gone through a slight rough patch, we made up one night when he came to mine, we had a big award show the next day, I was worrying I was gonna look like some sort of hot mess on the red carpet, but part of me didn't care at the time, and so the night passed by... that's all I'm saying, hahaha."
Honey, put that cigarette out
Come on over, and kiss my lips
You taste so sickly sweet
But I'd never let you go to waste
You taste even better than I last remember
Let's go and turn the radio off
Let's make some music of our own
It's not even your birthday
But let's blow out the candles, I've got a surprise
We're two wanderers lurking in the dark
Reaching our hands out for one another
Steam up the windows, you call me a nympho
You'd think tomorrow wouldn't come
The way I'm so eager, nothing's tasted sweeter
Cause there's no way I'd let this night
Just pass us by and go to waste
Yeah, baby, I wouldn't put up a fight
Just give me what I want, alright
I could ask the cameras in the morning not to judge me
Cause if I'm not a pretty picture, please don't blame me
But I just can't get enough of that guy
He's the one who's been turning me nocturnal
But I'll be happy to take the blame
Yeah, we don't have to be ashamed
We're just hopelessly hooked on loveHoney, what are you thinking about?
I've got just the slightest idea
So don't try to give me that look
I know you're thinking the same
So go and take your t-shirt off
Don't make me do it myself
I'll admit, I've got a dirty mind
Sometimes I don't let everything spill out of it
Sometimes I'm willing to make an exception
If that time was now, would you tell me off?
Would you let me show it off?
I'm feeling pretty crazy and so damn careless
I could go all night, I'm feeling so damn restless
Cause there's no way I'd let this night
Just pass us by and go to waste
Yeah, baby, I wouldn't put up a fight
Just give me what I want, alright
I could ask the cameras in the morning not to judge me
Cause if I'm not a pretty picture, please don't blame me
But I just can't get enough of that guy
He's the one who's been turning me nocturnal
But I'll be happy to take the blame
Yeah, we don't have to be ashamed
We're just hopelessly hooked on loveI apologise when I roll you over at four in the morning
With your tired eyes that I can always make come alive
There's always a beast waiting to be tamed
Under the covers, me and you, we become infernal
I can't help it if I want you more...
I love you, baby, let me prove it
I can't deny the way you get me off
I love how you always like to show me off
So let me show you how I can set you off
Cause there's no way I'd let this night
Just pass us by and go to waste
Yeah, baby, I wouldn't put up a fight
Just give me what I want, alright
I could ask the cameras in the morning not to judge me
Cause if I'm not a pretty picture, please don't blame me
But I just can't get enough of that guy
He's the one who's been turning me nocturnal
But I'll be happy to take the blame
Yeah, we don't have to be ashamed
We're just hopelessly hooked on loveAnd I don't even think we care
If we're late for work...
SOUND"One of Those Days" is a mid-tempo blues-inspired track, opening with the sound of rain falling, before fading into the first line "Rain pouring down outside, we've got the curtains drawn", accompanied with playful blues guitar chords and a faint drum beat. Nadia's vocals sound sexy, her voice alone doing a good job on enticing the listener, as she describes the steamy morning routine between her and her lover. Building into the chorus where Nadia's vocals become louder and more powerful, she remains sounding passionate. The song later features a break that features a saxophone solo for around half a minute, before moving into the final chorus.
COMMENTS"After the ending line of 'Hooked on Love', it perfectly fits into this next track, 'One of Those Days', which is also my new single. I wanted to kinda give the impression that these two people are so addicted to each other, they're going from the night to the morning, and then deciding that they're still not finished with each other and then decide not go to work, so they can finish up, without even caring if they're gonna get fired or not. Pretty heated, I know! I don't think I need to spell out what they're doing though, and if you don't know, then you're too young to be listening in the first place."
Rain pouring down outside, we've got the curtains drawn
Might be late for work, but my mind's only set on you
Quater to nine, we've been at it since the break of dawn
Might not even leave the house, we've got something else to do
Clothes on for work, only for us to take them off once more
So let me loosen your tie, unbutton your shirt
We've lost a lot of time that we've gotta make up for
Taking off my heels, loosen up my skirt
Only thing left to do is to lock the door
Every piece of clothing I slide on, you slide me back out of it
Looks like neither one of us are leaving the house today
This ain't the first time this has happened
I can gurantee you I'll be fired tomorrow
Somehow, I couldn't care less about everything else
Because nothing compares, no nothing compares
To a morning with you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is get some more of your loving
And I just wanna disappear into nothing
Just so I can get lost in you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is cling to you and breathe you in
My lips meeting your skin
Turning into our sweetest sin
And it's just one of those daysFeels like we've just set ourselves back into rewind
Cause I could've sworn we did this last night
Looks like we're still stuck on the day behind
And I can't even face the morning light
Gliding my fingers through your morning hair
There's only one thing that we're putting the effort into
We haven't even gotta worry about what to wear
You're the only boss who I've gotta get to
And I'm leaving all the rest up to you
Every piece of clothing I slide on, you slide me back out of it
Looks like neither one of us are leaving the house today
This ain't the first time this has happened
I can gurantee you I'll be fired tomorrow
Somehow, I couldn't care less about everything else
Because nothing compares, no nothing compares
To a morning with you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is get some more of your loving
And I just wanna disappear into nothing
Just so I can get lost in you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is cling to you and breathe you in
My lips meeting your skin
Turning into our sweetest sin
And it's just one of those daysCold outside, we've got the fire burning
In your arms, you've got me yearning
Grip me tighter and the world falls away
With you is a place I wanna stay
And it's just one of those days...
Every piece of clothing I slide on, you slide me back out of it
Looks like neither one of us are leaving the house today
This ain't the first time this has happened
I can gurantee you I'll be fired tomorrow
Somehow, I couldn't care less about everything else
Because nothing compares, no nothing compares
To a morning with you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is get some more of your loving
And I just wanna disappear into nothing
Just so I can get lost in you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is cling to you and breathe you in
My lips meeting your skin
Turning into our sweetest sin
And it's just one of those days
