NIKI’s song “Magnets,” released on August 9, 2024, as part of her album Buzz, explores the intense and often contradictory feelings associated with attraction and desire.
The track captures the magnetic pull between two people who are irresistibly drawn to each other, despite their attempts to maintain distance.
Magnets NIKI Lyrics
I wanna be
An itch you can’t scratch
I don’t need
To know where you’re at
You put on a show when there’s nothin’ else to say
I only know
‘Cause I’m the same way
And I’ve kept you at an arms length
But now my shoulder’s sore
It’s out of my hands to wanna feel yours
Like some kind of magnet
You’re a mystic force
I try to explain away through planets, of course
But it’s no use
There’s no rhyme or reason
Each time you push the thoughts away
You’re pulling me in
Again and again and again
The air buzzes whenever you’re near
Are you the one
Or are you just a mirror?
Either way
You have me at my wit’s end
Guess what I’m trying to say is
I’d rather die than be friends
Can’t you feel the steady thrum
When you and I are side by side?
It’s electric when our fingers brush
Quit acting like we’re not two magnets
A mystic force
I try to explain a way through planets, of course
But it’s no use
There’s no rhyme or reason
Each time you push the thoughts away
You keep pulling me in
Again and again and again
I don’t wanna be your friend
I couldn’t care less if this ends, in the end
