[Intro — bouncy 2-bar bright marimba and vocal-chop motif, clean muted offbeat electric guitar chops, deep round 808 sub-bass]

[Male vocal — smooth, clean, velvety melodic tone, relaxed smile]

Yeah...

You’re still standing by the door, huh?

Tell me another one.

[Theme — 4 bars: punchy 118 BPM four-on-the-floor kick and crisp syncopated rimshot lock in with the marimba hook]

[Verse 1 — smooth male vocal, clean melodic flow, cheeky conversational swagger]

You called an Uber twenty minutes ago

Cancelled it twice, yeah, I already know

Checking your phone like you’re looking for a ride

Whole time you’re inching right back to my side

Talking 'bout the wind, talking 'bout the street

While you got your heels kicked under my seat

You don’t gotta make up a reason to stay

We both know you weren’t leaving anyway

[Pre-Chorus — female lead cuts in, smoky 90s neo-soul reggae flow, sassy and melodic]

[Female lead vocal — rich, confident, effortless rhythmic pocket]

Don’t flatter yourself, boy, look at the glass

I’m just waiting for the midnight freeze to pass

If I stay the night, that’s a favor to you

Now stop talking big and do what you do

[Chorus — explosive modern Afro-reggae dance groove, infectious Top 40 singalong duet]

[Duet — tight rhythmic bounce, stacked vocal harmonies]

You say it’s too cold outside

[Male ad-lib]

Too cold, too cold

[Duet]

That’s why you’re staying the night

[Female ad-lib]

Yeah right, yeah right

[Duet]

Say you’re gonna leave, but you never go

Locking up the door when the lights go low

Blame it on the winter, blame it on the rain

Here we go, here we go, doing it again

Too cold outside!

[Female lead — soulful run]

Way too cold tonight

[Duet]

Too cold outside!

[Instrumental Drop — 16 bars: catchy 2-bar marimba and pitched vocal-chop hook explodes over punchy 118 BPM kick, rolling 808 sub-bass, crisp rimshots, and bright offbeat electric guitar chords]

[Verse 2 — female lead takes command, Lauryn-style rhythmic neo-soul cadence, playful attitude]

[Female lead vocal — smoky, bouncy triplet flow, zero rush]

Ten past two and you’re pouring a glass

Acting like you want this winter to last

Borrowed your hoodie, yeah, it fits me better

Might just keep it till the warmer weather

[Male vocal — smooth clean melodic interjection]

You can keep the hoodie, you can keep the keys

[Female lead — laughing into a melodic run]

Boy, please, I’m only here 'cause of the degrees

[Pre-Chorus — duet interplay, rising percussion and warm synth swell]

[Female lead]

Don’t flatter yourself, boy, look at the glass

[Male vocal — smooth harmony]

Look at the glass

[Female lead]

I’m just waiting for the midnight freeze to pass

[Duet]

Now stop talking big and do what you do!

[Chorus — full radio-hit impact, wide harmonies, bouncy Afro-reggae pocket]

[Duet]

You say it’s too cold outside

[Male ad-lib]

Too cold, too cold

[Duet]

That’s why you’re staying the night

[Female ad-lib]

Yeah right, yeah right

[Duet]

Say you’re gonna leave, but you never go

Locking up the door when the lights go low

Blame it on the winter, blame it on the rain

Here we go, here we go, doing it again

Too cold outside!

[Female lead]

Way too cold tonight

[Duet]

Too cold outside!

[Bridge — beat strips to rolling 808 sub-bass, crisp handclaps, and muted offbeat guitar; cheeky vocal back-and-forth]

[Male vocal — smooth, close-mic melodic tease]

So what happens when the sun comes out in May?

What’s your excuse gonna be to stay?

[Female lead — rich soulful belt and vocal run]

I’ll figure something out when the summer comes around

Right now, boy, don’t you make a sound

[Snare roll builds, marimba hook filters up]

[Duet]

Deadbolt the door!

[Final Chorus — maximum euphoria, soaring female ad-lib runs, smooth male counter-melody, full groove]

[Duet]

You say it’s too cold outside!

[Male ad-lib]

Too cold, way too cold!

[Duet]

That’s why you’re staying the night!

[Female ad-lib]

All night, all night!

[Duet]

Say you’re gonna leave, but you never go

Locking up the door when the lights go low

Blame it on the winter, blame it on the rain

Here we go, here we go, doing it again

Too cold outside!

[Female lead — high soulful run]

Nobody’s leaving tonight!

[Duet]

Too cold outside!

[Outro — infectious marimba hook and offbeat guitar ride out over bouncy 808 bass]

[Female vocal — playful spoken]

Seriously though, it’s freezing out there.

[Male vocal — warm laugh]

Yeah, sure it is. Come here.

[Final crisp rimshot and sub-bass drop]
