The beat in this song drops so nicely that you can do even the simplest of the dance steps and it’ll look cool. TikTok stars have figured this out, which is why so many of them are sharing their attempts and each seems to be better than the last. Now get involved below!
TikTok’s But Before I Lead You On song
“Before I lead you on” is lyrics from the song “motive”, which was created by American singer Ariana Grande and rapper Doja Cat. It was released on 30th October 2020 by Republic Records as one of the songs in the singer’s album “Positions”.
However, on TikTok, the mashup of motive plus promiscuous by Nelly Furtado was the version that became super-popular.
This song has been used to perform dances in more than 400k videos on TikTok and it has just been three months (it was released in November 2020) since the mashup has been made.
Now there is a dance routine based on this mashup that everyone is learning. Join in on the trend to get some clout.
Lyrics of this amazing song
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna turn me on
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna make me yours’
Cause I see you trying
Subliminally trying
To see if I’m gon’ be the one that’s in your arms
I admit it’s exciting
Parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
Baby, tell me what’s your motive?
What’s your motive? What’s your motive?
So tell me what’s your motive?
What’s your motive? What’s your motive?
I could call bullshit out from a mile away (don’t say)
You’ll want me if you can
Keep coming back for me
Might have to curve you
If you just can’t talk straight (just say)
Say what you mean, ’cause you might get it
‘Cause I see you trying
Subliminally trying
To see if I’m gon’ be the one that’s in your arms
I admit it’s exciting
Parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
Tell me what’s your motive?
What’s your motive? What’s your motive? (Uh)
So tell me what’s your motive?
What’s your motive? What’s your motive?
You treat me like gold baby
Now you wanna spoil me
Did you want a trophy?
Or you wanna sport me, baby?
Want me on your neck ’cause you wanted respect
‘Cause you’re fighting some war, baby
Well I had to bring the fists out
Had to put a wall up
But don’t trust phonies, baby
You gotta tell me what’s your motive, baby
‘Cause you got your candy on your arm
No need to sugarcoat a lie
Say what you want
I needed a real bonafide G
Can you promise me
You’ll bring it all tonight
‘Cause I need you to be wise
Tell me everything that’s on your mind
Baby, tell me what’s your motive?
What’s your motive? What’s your motive?
What’s your motive? What’s your motive? (uh)
So tell me what’s your motive? (yeah, tell me, baby)
What’s your motive? What’s your motive?
What’s your motive? (yeah, ayy)
