"She Did It Again" pairs Tyla with Zara Larsson on a slow-burning blend of R&B, pop and dancehall-inflected rhythm that gets progressively more feverish as it unfolds. It's sleek, flirtatious and faintly dangerous. Both singers frame themselves less as lovers than as temptations, habits, compulsions, addictive forces that men would be wise to avoid, but won't. The repeated refrain, "She did it again," turns heartbreak into pattern rather than accident. This isn't a one-off lapse in judgment; this is recurring weather. The title is an obvious wink to Britney Spears' "Oops... I Did It Again," and Zara Larsson makes the callback explicit when she sings, "Oops, did it again like Britney." Just as the 2000 song describes the cycle of giving someone false hope, Tyla and Larsson keep doing the same; not out of cruelty, but because it's simply their nature. There are layered nods to Sade too. When Tyla sings, "This ain't Sade," she contrasts the smooth romantic serenity associated with Sade's music with something more combustible. She underlines it moments later with "No ordinary love, this is propane, no, it's not safe." By namechecking Sade's 1992 classic "No Ordinary Love," Tyla makes it clear what she's offering is combustible, not comforting. It's not every day a love song compares itself to an industrial fuel source, but pop has always been enterprising. Tyla and Larsson wrote the track with MNEK, Zikai, Brayton Bowman and producers Believve, Ari PenSmith, Mocha Bands and Sammy Soso, the latter a regular Tyla collaborator behind songs like "Water," "Jump" and "Push 2 Start." The collaboration grew out of mutual admiration. Tyla had long been a fan of Larsson, and when the Swedish singer saw Tyla tease the song on Instagram, she wanted in. After dinner in London, they booked a studio session. "Cut to us playing our music for each other in the studio and she asked me to be on it. I was blushing!" Larsson told Vanity Fair. "The rest was herstory," Tyla added. The music video was directed by Aerin Moreno, who also helmed Tyla's previous video for "Chanel." The clip leans into sensual choreography and playful rivalry, drawing visible inspiration from Beyoncé and Shakira's 2007 crossover collaboration "Beautiful Liar." Tyla said the overarching visual and sonic aim was to maintain a vibe that is "sensual, lighthearted, and enjoyable." The song was released as the second single from Tyla's second album, A-Pop. The album title is Tyla's articulation of "African Pop," her mission to push Afropop sounds into the mainstream global pop conversation. "She Did It Again" demonstrates exactly that crossover ambition, pairing her signature amapiano-influenced bounce with Zara Larsson's crisp, European pop sensibility.

Deep down you want me
I know you do

I'm addictive, baby, what you want me to do?
Not a quick fix, one hit might ruin you
A blessing, a lesson you don't need to learn
When you're playing with fire, you're begging to find out
The hard way, part ways
For your sake, save her
The heartbreak, this is sweet chin music, this ain't Sade
No ordinary love, this is propane

No, it's not safe
Baby, this a dangerous game for you
Baby, this is all child's play to me
And I don't need you blaming me like

Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
She did it again
Even when you feel like you can
You can't get me out of your head, I got you like
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
She did it again
Even when you feel like you can
You can't get me out of your head

I know deep down you want me
I know you do
Deep down you want me
I know you do
I know deep down you want me
I know you do
I know you do
I know you do

Put a man on his knees, not tryna tease
Oops, they did again like Britney, that's how it is
That's all I know
Not like anyone you met before me, mmm
Keep it in the dark
Keep secrets between you and I
You know I'm a star
Don't fly too close to me, you'll fall

And it's not safe, no, it's not safe
Baby, this a dangerous game for you
But baby, this is all child's play to me
And I don't need you blaming me like

Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
She did it again
Even when you feel like you can
You can't get me out of your head, I got you like
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
She did it again
Even when you feel like you can
You can't get me out of your head

I know deep down you want me
I know you do
Deep down you want me
I know you do
I know deep down you want me
I know you do
I know you do
I know you do

I don't like a fiend, don't fiend, ease up
We are not a team, this is not FIFA
No replays, no wheel ups
One of one, no reups
Got a body like a bottle, doesn't mean that you should spin the block
One night here have you telling lies
'Cause you can't tell her where you really are
My eyes on you, that's a scary sight

And it's not safe, no, it's not safe
Baby, this a dangerous game for you
Baby, this is all child's play to me
And I don't need you blaming me like

Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
She did it again
Even when you feel like you can
You can't get me out of your head, I got you like
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
She did it again
Even when you feel like you can
You can't get me out of your head

I know deep down you want me
I know you do
Deep down you want me
I know you do
I know deep down you want me
I know you do
I know you do
I know you—
