Tiramisu" is a dreamy R&B song where Don Toliver uses the Italian dessert as a metaphor for the sweetness of a lover's touch. While he never names her directly, all signs point to Toliver's longtime girlfriend, Kali Uchis, as the song's muse. The two first connected in 2020 and got together romantically in 2021. Their collaborations have blurred the line between personal and professional ever since. Uchis even revealed her pregnancy in Toliver's "Bandit" video. On Uchis' track "Fantasy" he rapped about wanting to "start a family," while in their duet "4 Me" he flat-out sang, "I need to hold my bae, baby." By the time you get to "Tiramisu," the metaphor of love-as-dessert feels like a natural continuation of their ongoing musical diary. Musically, the track rests on slinky synths and jittery hi-hats courtesy of Cardo Got Wings (who helped craft Kendrick Lamar's "Euphoria" and Drake's "God's Plan") and Polo Boy Shawty, a Chicago producer making his first big splash with a major artist. Toliver co-wrote the song with Bbykobe, a behind-the-scenes wizard known for shaping hooks and vocal lines for the likes of Future and Metro Boomin ("Like That") and Travis Scott ("Champain & Vacay"). If the song feels sticky-smooth and hook-heavy, that's his touch. The video, directed by Idan Barazani and Liron Eini, doubles down on the theme, placing Toliver in a neon-lit lounge while models (Ashley Graves, Paris Petitjean, and Bryana Straker) orbit him amid dessert-inspired visuals. And then there's the dessert itself. Tiramisu - literally "pick me up" in Italian - is a concoction of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone, and cocoa whose origins are fiercely disputed between Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Like most great things in Italian cuisine, no one can agree who invented it, only that life would be a lot more dull without it. It's worth noting: Toliver isn't the first to turn tiramisu into pop inspiration. In 2015, South Korean indie band We Are The Night released "Tiramisu Cake," a song that unexpectedly took off on TikTok in 2024, soundtracking over a million videos. For a while, it was the most-used Korean track on the platform, proof that sometimes dessert works as well in a playlist as it does on a dinner table.

Yeah, call me when you need it late at night, you know I'm slidin'
I heard you been dreamin' 'bout me lately, girl, I'm ridin'
Tell me that you think about me 'cause you're on my mind, babe
You ain't gotta check your watch, you know I'm on that time, bae

Let's keep it cool and break it down
Break it like some sticky glue
If you bring your friend, better bring two (bring two)
Pussy taste sweet like it's tiramisu

You got me doin' the most, she jumpin' a rope to go get it
My hands all over her throat, she steady takin' off my fitted
This shit right here pain, she squirtin', you thought that it rained
The tens in the back let it bang, she eatin', she might get a ring
I'm so in here down to get it, I'm soiled here, down in her kitty
I buy you a SIG, get with it, in my city, this shit get wicked
I know that it's been a lil' minute, but I'm down, I'm still down to get it
It's whatever, lil' nigga, I'm lit, yeah, I'm down, I'm still down to get it

Yeah, call me when you need it late at night, you know I'm slidin'
I heard you been dreamin' 'bout me lately, girl, I'm ridin'
Tell me that you think about me 'cause you're on my mind, babe
You ain't gotta check your watch, you know I'm on that time, bae

Let's keep it cool and break it down
Break it like some sticky glue
If you bring your friend, better bring two (bring two)
Pussy taste sweet like it's tiramisu
