The song seems to interpolate the hook from Blue Boy’s dance hit Remember Me, a Top 10 single in 1997 that itself samples Woman Of The Ghetto by ’60s soul singer Marlena Shaw.

Best Lyrics line Of the song Mabel – Boyfriend
I wanna boyfriend, so put it on me
I’m looking for a man who can take that heat
Wanna boyfriend, but not too sweet
My baby gotta be tough while he running that street
