Coi Leray is back with a new label, Island Records, and a new single designed to kick off her “grown and sexy” era. Produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, the song is called “Wanna Come Thru,” and it’s a steamy R&B slow jam indicative of an adult woman feeling very comfortable in her own skin.
“This song is about me on my grown and sexy,” Leray said in a statement. “Grown and sexy means being so in love with yourself—that it is one of the most sexiest, maturest, grownest things that a woman can do. As you get older and you tap into your womanhood and your femininity and I feel like you should embrace that. It’s feeling good for yourself; looking in the mirror and just loving yourself. 2024 is going to be my grown and sexy era. I’m taking over this year. I’ve got so much new music and a whole new side of me to get to know.”
Leray shares writing credit on “Wanna Come Thru” with Mike WiLL, co-producer Carter Lang, and Jean Marcel Day, Jr. In the first verse, she describes a relationship that’s hit the skids. Her partner is angry and looking to stay that way, while she’s hoping for a truce.
It was all good, now we falling off
Fuck being mad, come and break me off
Try this again, you can have it all
Put your name on it, come tat it up
On the chorus, Leray chips away at his stubbornness. Is he really going to turn down make-up sex?
Know you think about me
I wanna come through, let you decide
You won’t put your pride aside
But I know you like it
Leray goes for the hard sell in the second verse.
Give me head like I did
Keep going, don’t you stop
Come sweep me off my feet
I wanna feel it inside
