About Can We Chill

"Can We Chill" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Ne-Yo, taken as the third single from the singers second studio album, Because of You (2007). The song became Ne-Yo's lowest charting single in the U. S. and second lowest in the UK. In the U. S., "Can We Chill" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 altogether and only peaked at #52 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. In the UK, "Can We Chill" outperformed previous single "Do You", peaking at number sixty-two on the UK Singles Chart, despite the music video receiving limited airplay before being removed from TV airplay schedules altogether. There was also confusion regarding the singles release date, with some retailers pushing the date back to the 15 October 2007, whereas the 1 October release still remained, despite airplay being limited (the video was premiered in the UK three days before the song's release).

Baby, don't you be so mean
I try to keep my conversation clean
But you the flyest thing I've seen, yeah
Since I came up in here, you're a superstar, my dear
I don't wanna waste your time
With no corny player lines (corny player lines)
But, girl, if you don't mind
I would love to occupy the space right by your side

Girl, can we chill?
Talk about leavin' together, sure, we will
But, just for now, don't let my champagne spill on you
As you make your move to the floor, floor, floor, floor
Girl, can we chill?
Talk about leavin' together, sure, we will (sure, we will)
Later I'll do everything you want me to
Makin' love to you
Beg for more, more, more, more

Shawty speakin' honestly (speakin' honestly)
I can picture you and me (picture you and me)
Bein' ever so discreet (ever so discreet)
Disappearin' to the back of this club, imagine that, baby
(Don't get mad at me
No, baby girl, I was just playin')
Hey, unless you really wanna go
You're in control, just let me know
But right now my song is playin'
Let's take it to the floor

Girl, can we chill?
Talk about leavin' together, sure, we will
But, just for now, don't let my champagne spill on you
As you make your move to the floor, floor, floor, floor
Girl, can we chill?
Talk about leavin' together, sure, we will (sure, we will)
Later I'll do everything you want me to
Makin' love to you
Beg for more, more, more, more

(Ooo, don't wanna rush
Let's take it slow)
Enjoy the night, babe
Then you decide if you want to
(Get to know me on a physical side)
(Baby, tonight) Oh, baby, tonight
(Let's get right) Let's get it right

Girl, can we chill?
Talk about leavin' together, sure, we will
But, just for now, don't let my champagne spill on you
As you make your move to the floor, floor, floor, floor
Girl, can we chill?
Talk about leavin' together, sure, we will (sure, we will)
Later I'll do everything you want me to
Makin' love to you
Beg for more, more, more, more
