Guess which song got stuck in my head because of a reel I saw? You guessed it, Smooth Operator have been around like a wildfire! 🔥
Lagu Smooth Operator-nya Sade makin viral di TikTok dan Instagram, apalagi setelah ada versi tech house remix yang beredar; populer jadi backsound pilihan pertama para content creator.
Smooth Operator jadi viral karena karakteristik lagunya yang catchy dan classy, cocok banget buat jadi backsound di reels zaman sekarang seperti model reels GRWM, A Day in My Life, atau Review Hidden Spots yang biasa dibikin konten kreator kuliner/lifestyle.
Gue yakin kalian kebayang reels yang pake lagu ini sebagai backsound.
Tapi, lagu ini juga gak asing bagi banyak orang. Karena dari sebelum TikTok juga udah di cap sebagai lagu yang everlasting, lagu yang banyak orang tau dari generasi yang berbeda.
Dari generasi bokap gue, ke millennials sampai Gen Z, banyak kok yang familiar!
Mainly karena lagu ini juga udah booming pada waktu itu. Bahkan masuk #5 di Billboard 100 Charts selama 13 minggu pada tahun 1985. Lagu Smooth Operator ternyata tentang keberadaan seorang alpha-male yang toxic namun menggoda (setara sama buaya darat kali ya???).
Gak bisa dipungkiri, emang lagunya catchy dan menjual! Pantes aja dijadiin backsound sama banyak kreator, nih langsung aja gue kasih liriknya!
Lirik Lagu Smooth Operator - Sade
[Intro]
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights
High in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls
[Verse 1]
Diamond life lover boy
He moves in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
[Pre-Chorus]
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
The sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
[Chorus]
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
[Post-Chorus]
Coast-to-coast, L.A. to Chicago: Western male
Across the North and South, to Key Largo: love for sale
[Verse 2]
Face-to-face, each classic case
We shadowbox and double-cross
Yet need the chase
[Pre-Chorus]
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels; his heart is cold
[Chorus]
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
[Post-Chorus]
Coast-to-coast, L.A. to Chicago: Western male
Across the North and South, to Key Largo: love for sale
[Outro]
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
