Anna Wintour

“Anna Wintour” is a song from Azelea Banks from 2018


Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m so cold, I’m so grown, I’m so real life
I’m so show off my diamonds designed to twinkle and bleed light
As the valley fills with darkness, shadows chase and run around
I can make them stop for me – and no lamb, no savior’s shelter
I’ll be better off alone, I’ll walk at my own pace
I don’t need no one, I’ve got my own, I’ve got it made
In the morning I cheer for sunshine and I feel, but I don’t feel enough
In the midnight hours I try to

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you show me, now I believe
Diamonds and dreams come true for girls like me

[Chorus]
Now I feel in love, babe
I really know that your love is enough
And I’m so lucky you found me in the day I needed love
Now I feel in love, babe, everywhere you are

[Verse 2]
Your dude came to rock for me, hot body, yes, I got it, got it
All of the girls are dance floor queens until I put my Blahniks on it
Move and make it hot for me, hot rod, oh yes, I’ll ride it, ride it
Dance for me, get naughty, he wild out for these expensive options
You know the glow stuntin’ in front row
Shades always, these bitches can’t look, no
Bob sleek-chic petite, I fit those
En Vogue, I do what you can’t know
I’m runway, you know they a side show
I’m first page, the mainstage as I pose
The one dame, the one name that y’all know
Just take notes, stay on top like halos
Make pesos, most of these bitches is my clones
You new puss, this catwalk is my throne
I’m penthouse, you’re trap house and rhinestones
These diamonds on my bones be my own
Invent styles, I been crowned, this my home
Bitch, I’m grown in ball gowns – it’s french sewn
You take shots, I make shots, the end zone
These bitches overall is some Laura’s they Winslow

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you show me, now I believe
Diamonds and dreams come true for girls like me

[Chorus]
Now I feel in love, babe
I really know that your love is enough
And I’m so lucky you found me in the day I needed love
Now I feel in love, babe, everywhere you are

She said on a Billboard Magazine interview, quote: “When I was writing the song, my choreographer Matthew Pasterisa was at home with me, and I kinda was using him as a soundboard. I was like, “Matt, what do you think about this?” And he was like, “Oh, yeah. That sounds cool. That sounds kinda like Scary Spice.” Then he goes, “You should just get Scary Spice on the song.” And I’m like, “Whoa, that’s an insane idea.”

She announced that Mel B agreed to record the duet on a Instagram post, on February 3rd with a snippet video. After anticipating the release for Mel B, she revelead on February 24th on her Facebook account, that unfortunately Mel B couldn’t be available to perform the song, due schedules problems (being a mom, America’s Got Talent, and Balafonte’s divorce). Azelea thanked Mel B for considered to be part of the song and re-singed the parts she wroted for her and released the song as a no-feature song.
