BY: Alexis Eichelberger

It seems like almost every artist turned up the heat in 2019. So many great songs, from this year, were irresistible sexy, both musically and lyrically. Today, we’re focusing on words that turned us on the most.

Here are nine songs with the sexiest lyrics and our favorite line from each.

Summer Walker’s “Tonight” 

One of 2019’s breakout stars was the hot, young R&B artist, Summer Walker. Her slow and seductive “Tonight” is the title track of her debut studio album, Over It. It dropped in October.

Our favorite lyrics: I like to taste it when you / run down my back, arched and relaxed / Oh, touch me like that / Please, nice and slow

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”

The Weeknd made an epic return with the release of two sensual new cuts. “Blinding Lights” is already one of our favorites this year. It captures all of the Weeknd’s signature sexiness, with a touch of emotion, that we love so much.

Our favorite lyrics: Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe / I’m going through withdrawals / You don’t even have to do too much / You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

The Jonas Brothers’ “Only Human”

Yes, we included the Jonas Brothers on our list of sexy song lyrics. The guys’ purity rings are definitely gone now and their sexy new music are a fun surprise. “Only Human” is funky, hot and a definite highlight of their album, Happiness Begins.

Our favorite lyrics: It’s only human, you know that it’s real / So why would you fight or try to deny the way that you feel? / Oh, babe, you can’t fool me, your body’s got other plans / So stop pretending you’re shy, just come on and dance

Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar”

We knew what was coming when Harry Styles tweeted, “Kiwi walked so Watermelon Sugar could run.” But that didn’t stop us from feeling ecstatic over the British heartthrob’s delicious new single. “Watermelon Sugar” is the second cut from his upcoming album, Fine Line. We can’t wait to taste the whole record.

Our favorite lyrics: Strawberries on a summer evenin’ / Baby, you’re the end of June / I want your belly and that summer feelin’ / Getting washed away in you

Bazzi’s “I.F.L.Y.”

Bazzi first rocked our world, in 2018, with “Mine”, a sweet but sensual single. His latest, “I.F.L.Y”, is a more explicit track with a refined twist. It has a jazzy feel with a modern flare that puts us in the mood, every time we listen.

Our favorite lyrics: Touchin’ you slowly, love how you hold me / I was a player, that was the old me / I sent a prayer for something holy / Got naked and showed me

Fletcher’s “Undrunk”

Fletcher got her start on the very first season of The X Factor and she emerged as a solo musician, this year. Her talent for writing raw, honest lyrics has earned her a dedicated following. Her song, “Undrunk”, weaves hotness with heartbreak.  It’s unlike anything we’ve ever heard.

Our favorite lyrics: But I’m afraid of being sober / ‘Cause the first thing I do when I’m alone / I start touching myself to the photos that you used to send me / I should have deleted, but kept it a secret / Is that crazy to do?

Maren Morris’ “RSVP”

Country music might not be the genre that comes to mind when we talk about sexy lyrics, but Maren Morris released one of the most irresistible songs of 2019. “RSVP” is playful but VERY specific, making it the perfect sassy and seductive song.

Our favorite lyrics: Don’t tell me that you got better plans / For those velvet hands, they’re in demand / Don’t tell me that you’re not a little curious / Don’t be so serious, it can be only us

Kehlani’s “Butterfly”

R&B is the soundtrack of sexy, but Kehlani takes lyrical heat to another level. Of the many seductive tracks she sang about this year, “Butterfly” stands out. It’s slow and gentle, taking its time turning us on and it doesn’t disappoint.

Our favorite lyrics: Know we’re scared of us, what this might become / Ain’t no goin’ back no more, no more / We’re in the same bed, cannot lay awake / Let’s fill up this space with us

Shawn Mendes’ “If I Can’t Have You”

The adorable Shawn Mendes occasionally reveals his sexy side and he didn’t disappoint with  “If I Can’t Have You”. It shows the steamy side of yearning and has us dreaming about lying in bed next to him.

Our favorite lyrics: I’m in Toronto and I got this view / But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah / It doesn’t matter ’cause I’m so consumed / Spending all my nights reading texts from you
