Butterfly

Jamiroquai · Synkronized [1999]

Little butterfly come back to me

Everything that I want written on your face

I want it, I want it (x2)

So take me where you want to

It's your love that I chase

I want it, I want it (x2)

Now you got something

I want it, I want it

So beautiful

I want it, I want it

And the way you move me baby

Its like no other girl

I want it, I want it (x2)

I feel like I'm a butterfly in June

So colour in my wings

And let me hold your hand

I could be the sun and you could be my moon

But all you ever say is catch me if you can

Feel like a butterfly

Searching in the summer sky

A perfect love so hard to find

Little butterfly come back to me (x4)

Honey you pushing a condition

But I don't mind

I want it, I want it (x2)

I think you're my addiction

But that's alright

I want it, I want it

That's alright

I want it, I want it

You've got to slow down

I can't keep up with you

I want it, I want it

No no no All the other butterflies

They don't love like we do

I want it, I want it (x2)

I feel like I'm a butterfly in June

So colour in my wings and let me hold your hand

I could be the sun and you could be my moon

But all you ever say is catch me if you can

Feels like a butterfly

Searching in the summer sky

A perfect love so hard to find

Little butterfly come back to me (x4)

Butterfly

Released in 1999, Butterfly stands as a defining track from Jamiroquai's fourth studio album, Synkronized. The song captures the band at the height of their commercial success, blending sophisticated funk rhythms with the smooth, soulful vocals of frontman Jay Kay. While the group had previously established a reputation for high-energy dance tracks, this recording showcases a more introspective and polished side of their sound. The production features the tight, groovy instrumentation characteristic of the era, merging disco influences with modern funk sensibilities. As a key component of the Synkronized catalogue, the track highlights the band's ability to craft enduring melodies that resonate across generations. It remains a celebrated example of late nineties British funk, reflecting the group's artistic evolution and their significant impact on the genre during a pivotal period in their discography.
