todrick: "her intentions could be innocent" me: " *ARE YOU LISTENING TO WHAT THIS WOMAN IS SAYING SIR?!* "

Nicole is a HELL of a vocalist ! damn

I really love the direction on this. At the beginning she's cute and sexy but a little pushy and by the end she moves like a predator and he is powerless. Also Nicole effing kills the vocals on this. She is so talented.

Todrick's gay panic is so ridiculously clear in this video

No one acknowledged how Nicole was singing her face off on this song.

NICOLE IS SLAYING THE MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE

I like how it switches from red to blue- red is her fantasy. She's sexy, confident, her hair is down, and Todrick is reciprocating her advances (leading the dance with her, staring down her shirt), but blue is the reality of it all- her hair is up, she's leading the dance, and Todrick is visibly uncomfortable. Just a neat lil detail.

Todrick: Shes not my body type My bisexual self: SHE IS MY BODY TYPE

Nicole: You have potential Trevor Todrick: Its Todrick Nicole:Whatever Producers:Yes!

This bitch knows she's the shit. I fucking love her. So diva 😍😘

I am so gay, but I fully believe this song is the reason I believed I was bisexual for a minute

No Todd, her intentions are not innocent.

nicole : idk if i'm your body type Todrick : I like boys I like pecs Like them arms when they flex Like that print, in them sweats Tell them girls, thank you next

This is one of my favorite songs in this entire production. The songwriting is so good. I wish Nicole did more like this. And "you've never touched a boob in your whole life, and she's got two of them!" is hilarious. Thank you for your art, Todrick.

I know people are focusing on the lyrics but I'm just wondering where she got that bra? Its pretty

I'm coming back to this years later and just marveling at how much of a genius he is. I have a few things to say: 1. The subject matter. He's highlighting that men can also get harrassed in the music industry, which is mentioned even less than women, so not a lot. He's not only speaking for himself(assuming this is accurate) but for others in a similar situation. 2. Writing good songs is hard, but connecting them all to a theme is even harder. I applaud Todrick for sticking with the Wizard of Oz theme throughout the whole album. As you may know, there's an infamous poppy scene in twoo where Dorothy and the gang are succummbing and being put into eternal sleep, and later in the Wiz the poppies are depicted as dancers that 'seduce' people into staying with them forever. I love how he ties the harrassment analogy in there, as she's luring him with a promosing career("I can almost see your name in lights" "Destiny's calling and your future is so clear") but the outcome is uncertain. This is a scare tactic that many talent agencies use to get people to go with them, harrassment + assault included along w a promising career, that many people in the industry fall victim to. Overall, Todrick is a hugely underrated performer/storyteller, go listen to him, that's all i have to say. Thank you. Side note: Nicole Scherzinger can freakin' SIIIINNGG!!!!

Why this shit isnt viral?! ITS AKA-AMAZING! Im speechless

Why have I only just discovered this in 2020 🥺

I love this whole 'movie' and how Todrick used play-on-words to allude back to the story. Papi sounds like poppy, the red flowers in the field of dreams and excess in the book. She even wears poppy flowers on her dress at the end. All about giving into dreams and temptation.

"You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back" I CHOKED

Papi sounds like poppy Poppies in the Wizard of Oz made the characters sleep with them Nicole in this song is trying to seduce Todrick in to sleeping with her Todrick is so clever

Nicole Scherzinger is one of the best voices in modern music, and Todrick is one of the most creative and talented people in modern entertainment. What a pair. I can't believe that I only just found this!

Years later and this line still stays with me: How many one hit wonders sit and wonder why we never knew of them?" 😔

*”she got two of them”* I died in that part 😂 Edit: Tysm for the likes y’all 🥺✨💛

Why did I just realize Nicole has a killer voice. There voices good really good together

I cry every time he says “but I don’t know”. So heartbreaking the mess people have to endure in this industry. I just want to hug all these poor babies and destroy all the predators. 😥

I wish Nicole would release more music with this rock influence, it suits her voice so fucking well.

It's rare when someone sings about the struggles of braking into the entertainment industry, and sexual harassment... Todrik really is ahead of his time. This is deep. Also, Nicole's vocals, damn! O.O'

Why why why why WHY isn't Nicole making music like this?????? 😩😩 I miss her!

Who's watching in 2024 because this song popped up in your head one day and it's so good you had to come back? 😊😊❤❤

She does not get enough credit . Her voice phenomenal! Her ability to go between soft and belting..:and that note at the end…..incredible.

OH MY GAWD PAPI = POPPY!!!! SHES A POPPY!!! LIKE WHY DIDNT I GET THIS SOONER??????? (the reference: in the original 'wizards of oz, dorothy is warned to not go into the field of poppies bc they had magical powers to make you fall asleep. in this, nicole (the poppy) is trying to tempt todrick into having an affair)

There is such a deep meaning here for Todrick and everyone is kinda blowing it off.. it's true art. He should get more credit for this

So, I just want to say that everything about this is BOMB, especially Nicole's vocals... The message creeped me the f*k out, but I'm not counting that as a bad since I totally get what this was criticizing. Props for making such a great, repeatable track that ALSO performs amazingly as critique of the industry that _sticks with you_ after. Really took me on _that_ journey.

If she wants chocolate and caramel... Just give her some Twix somebody🍫🙄😂

Nicole is so underrated. She SANG tf out of this! Poppy... sooo clever and artistic on Todrick's part, I love this!

this wasnt featuring nicole this was SHOWCASING nicole god damn her vocals

What I love about Todrick's videos is he makes sure everyone can fucking SING. All his guest stars have live-performance, Broadway-level quality. Compare it to so many pop stars who strain to find the right note without autotune. Nicole Scherzinger is such a joy to listen to!

This song is genius. And true. And I love the fact that it is shown out of a boys perspective, lured by a female boss. The fact that it is part of Todricks biography gives me shivers. And I love this song. Still. Every bit of it. After 4 years of listening and always coming back to this masterpiece video.

NOTE TO SELF: DON'T SING THIS AROUND MOM EVER AGAIN. Probably the most awkward 10 secs of my life.

"You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back" 😂😂 lmfao I love that part

So happy she hasn’t told that the Bull is Todrick. She’s keeping it to herself thank you so much. She knows he deserves to win Masked Singer ❤️❤️.

She has a great voice in this especially the high notes.

This is genius! Highlighting sexual predation in music industry and the references to Wizard of Oz too. Nicole was perfect choice as she is so sensual, her voice is almost hypnotic at points plus she becomes very predatory in a very sexy way at the end...one of my fave songs ever

AYYYYY PAPI 😍😍😍😍 TODRICK IS SO TALENTED IT HURTS

Nicole is so damn talented, her voice is amazing. Real life siren, she's such a vixen

Nicole has a perfect theatre voice! She should do some musicals~

chills. holy shit Nicole's voice is phenomenal.

someone forgot to water the plants, them poppy's is extra thirsty

It took me wayyy too long to realize “Papi” is a play on the “Poppies”

I'm watching this and thinking that it would be a moment of absolute gold if a Masked Singer contestant sang this song on the show.

This song is slightly dark and sad. I'm sorry if this happened to you Todrick. What a beautiful and epic way to communicate the experience

she is definitely MY body type

My heart. the way he looked at nicole on the masked singer as the bull melted my heart. she knew who he was right away! I love todrick so much! Yes he's the bull lol

I’m seeing comments and she be changing everyone’s sexuality😂😂😂

This still gives me chills!! Such a deep meaning and visually stunning!

It's chilling how in the end, one moment Todrick looks determined to take advantage of the situation, probably telling himself this is nothing and he's the one using her to get what he wants, then next moment she's on top of him looking so dominant and uncontrollable, starkly reminding him of how she's the one using him and not the other way around, how he is not in control of this situation at all because she's too powerful and too unreliable, and he seems unsure again whether he's made the right choice. I love both of their acting so much

Nicole's singing gives me chills every time

Scherzy with the VOCAL!!

that's when he yells out "IM GAY" and all of a sudden she goes "oh is this more your speed" and then a bunch of guys with really nice abs come out and starts dancing around him

"Lay it all on me, you little sexy piece of cho-co-late!!" is my favorite line. She just brings it with such ...umph!!!

Omg Nicole's voice in this song is just beautiful

What a masterpiece. Wow.

Todrick has long been ahead of his time. I remember hearing this but didn't put it all together. Well done.

This song is my favourite from the album 😍😍

I like the fact that the lyrics os written so nicely... its actually a story you can follow... awesome

I listened to this SO MUCH when it first came out, then a few years later I was obsessed with it again.. and now AGAIN. It's such an amazing song to come back to whenever

Todrick is honestly a fucking genius. Papi = Poppy. like. fuckkk

The best thing about this is his reaction, bruh just look at his face. I"M DYING

Someone needs to make this into a fucking musical

I realise that this is still an issue in the industry (a few industries, in fact) but can we just take a moment to appreciate how willing Scherzinger & Hall were to be lighthearted and have fun with this? Its great to see people have fun (& be a bit silly) doing what they love, while also making a point :-)

Can we just talk about how great the video editing/visual effects are in this video? Like how it goes back and forth between office lady to hair down lady to sexy flower lady

He needs to do a WORLD TOUR cause I NEED to see him

This is still 🔥🔥🔥

Holy shit..this is amazing Todrick is light..Nicole is a vocalist.. Wow

This man is a damn genius..the entire visual album was AH-AMAZING!!!!

This is one of those videos that i want to see "the making of"

I like how Nicole has been pretending she doesn't know Todrick is The Bull on Masked Singer all this time....

Omg Nicole could sing! i love how she puts soul and feeling to this song. Todrick is so smart love this collab.

This is such an interesting video now that we know all about the Hollywood sexual abuse scandals...

NIcole gave me chills. It still baffles me that she couldn't have a successful solo career. With the right material she could ve done a lot.

This was posted 5yrs ago and I’m still Here watching it til today enjoying it! 💁🏻‍♀️

i found this gem yesterday and i cant stop coming back

her dress is bludy amazingg

Nicole Scherzinger could literally sing the bee movie script and I would love it she has such a great voice

I would die to know how this collaboration came to be!

Can't believe I only just discovered this song, NICOLE SLAYSSSSS

"once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back" Todrick all ready know😂😂😂

I can't believe Todrick was able to stay calm! If I was acting alongside Nicole Scherzinger I'd DIE

She calls him Trevor again two lines after he corrects her lol

This song, video, the whole concept is just a phenomenal masterpiece! Seeing it so many times, even after 3 and a half years later, it's matchless. Both Todrick and Nicole are gorgeous and super gifted.

After listening to this over and over I'm just realizing papi/poppy as in wizard of oz...did everyone else know this right away or did it take you guys this long too? lol I feel stupid

I want to cut Mrs. Scherzinger some slack! Really great move to be so brave to portray the one who is harassing! It's so exaggerated but the message comes across brilliantly!

2:41 *yea me too buddy.*

THAT GIRL CAN SINGGGGGG!!

It just hit me that this is Todrick’s version of the flower field. Being lulled into ‘sleep’, thinking everything is okay. It’s fine, everyone is doing it. This is how you make it in this world. Doesn’t matter what you were supposed to be doing, what goals you were striving for, just ‘sleep’ and everything will be okay. Oh god. My heart.

So I'm realizing this song's title is probably a play on words reference to a significant element of the movie (like a lot the other songs), and Papi is a play on words for "Poppy". Probably in reference to dangerous the poppy fields that made dorthy fall asleep! So cool todrick

LYRICS: So glad you came to visit Your talent is exquisite Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? The AC might be broken Let's crack a window open Then hold me close so you can whisper in my ear Tell me all your dreams and fantasies Pardon me, I have a tendency to talk a lot Lay it all on me You little sexy piece of chocolate Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Wait don't... wait don't go A little non-committal Just meet me in the middle Don't be afraid our little secret's safe in here You got potential Trevor It's Todrick Whatever Destiny's calling in, your future is so clear I can almost see your name in lights What a sight... my mind is spinning like a carousel Trevor all I need is a little taste of caramel Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Find myself in the strangest predicament Her intentions could be innocent But I don't know if I should go through with this If I do, I risk saying yes But what if it's a test? That's a mess You can rest assured the fate of my success would be less But the question is if I should tell her no Would I blow my big break? Would it be a mistake? For God's sake, she's gotta know... She's not my body type And I know, what's wrong just can't be right On the one hand you got one life You should cut yourself some slack You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back Is she talking a big talk or is this how you play the game? She says I got sharp potential, she can't even say my name How many one-hit-wonders sit and wonder why we never knew of them? You've never touched a boob in your whole life and she's got two of them This road is full of choices, tough decisions, rough mistakes Take the highroad or the easy street, the choice is yours to make But I don't know If I'm your body type I'm so close to all those emerald lights Won't you stay and lay with me tonight Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side?
