"Potion" is a song by Scottish disc jockey Calvin Harris, English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa and American rapper Young Thug from Harris's sixth studio album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 (2022). The song was written by Harris, Lipa, Young Thug, Jessie Reyez and Maneesh Bidaye, with the production completed by Harris. It was released as the lead single from the album for digital download and streaming in various countries by Sony on 27 May 2022. The song combines dance, disco, EDM, and pop music to create a laidback atmosphere, accompanied by 1970s-style instrumentation of bongos, electric guitars and pianos. Its lyrics center around the essence of a potion that promises a good summer experience.

"Potion" garnered a warm reception from music critics for its music, production and Lipa and Young Thug's vocal performances. The song reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and achieved a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the UK. It peaked at number 31 on the Canadian Hot 100 and number 71 the US Billboard Hot 100 as well as entering the top 50 in several countries, such as Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. The psychedelic music video premiered on Harris's YouTube channel on 27 May 2022. It was designed to combine a 1960s liquid light show with a contemporary setting and displays the journey of Lipa and Young Thug stranded in a tropical island in a purple ocean.

Background and composition

[edit]

In April 2022, Harris announced his forthcoming studio album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 to be released mid-year, as a continuation of his fifth album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (2017).[1][2] Harris previewed the album's lead single "Potion" on the social media platform TikTok on 24 May.[3][4] In the preview, he showcased the development of the instrumental and a FaceTime call with Lipa, who had agreed to contribute her vocals.[5] The song was released for digital download and streaming in various countries by Sony on 27 May 2022 as the lead single from Harris's sixth studio album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 (2022).[6] Marking Harris and Lipa's second collaboration following the release of "One Kiss" (2018), he elaborated, "It's an honour to work with Dua and Thug again [...] They're both such dynamic artists who have contributed so much to today's musical landscape."[4][7]

"Potion" was written by Harris (Adam Wiles), Lipa, Young Thug (Jeffery Williams), Jessie Reyez and Maneesh Bidaye, with the production completed by Harris.[8] The song is composed in the key of B minor and time signature of common time with a tempo ranging from 76 to 100 beats per minute.[9] It follows in the chord progression of Em9-F♯m-Gmaj7-Gmaj9-Em7-F♯m-G6-Gmaj7-F♯m in the intro and Bm7-B7-Gmaj7-Em-F♯m7-Bm7 throughout.[9] The vocal range in the song spans from a low note of A4 to a high note of G5.[9] "Potion" is a laidback[10] dance,[11] disco, EDM and pop song.[12][13][14] The instrumental has a 1970s-inspired tone,[15] which includes bongo, electric guitar and piano sounds.[14][16] The song is anchored by a "steamy hook from Lipa, a nimble verse from Thug, a snaking bassline",[17] disco and retro beats,[10][14] rhodes riff, "seductive" chorus, and synth-heavy groove.[13][15][18] The lyrics of the song encapsulate the essence of a potion that promises a good summer experience.[11] In the chorus, Lipa sings about, "Late night conversations, electric emotions/ Sprinkled with a little bit of sex and it's a potion [...] Late night bodies aching, mental stimulation/ Sprinkled with a little bit of sex appeal and it's a moment."[3][14]

Critical reception

[edit]

Upon its release, "Potion" generally garnered a positive reception from music critics. Paolo Ragusa from Consequence highlighted Lipa and Young Thug's vocals as well as Harris's production in the song as a demonstration of his competence to "work with any kind of artist to accomplish his vision".[16] Dylan Green for Pitchfork also complimented Harris's "well-engineered" production, which he described as "sturdy enough to house a steamy Lipa hook and a nimble verse from Thug".[17] Samantha Reis of We Rave You labeled the song as a "hot and sensual" song, showcasing Harris' ability to effortlessly create his "especially ones that manage to perform equally bombastically on radio and on the dancefloor".[11] Rachel Narozniak from Dancing Astronaut commended Lipa's "inimitable mezzo-soprano" and Young Thug's "flair" also feeling the song to be a "seamless continuation of the Funk Wav [Bounces Vol. 1] sound".[19] Chris Deville for Stereogum commented that the song "taps right back into the first volume's fun beachside vibe".[18] Isabel von Glahn of Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) noted the song's "electrifying vibes", with Lipa and Young Thug complementing the sound perfectly, making it an "ideal summer pop track".[20]

Starr Bowenbank from Billboard described the song as "sultry", with Lipa exuding a simmering sensuality, predicting it to be a "sweltering, soon-to-be hit that's primed for dominating party playlists".[21] Katie Bein from the same publication characterised the song as a "summer jam", commenting that it fuses "Santana vibes with a lounge mood".[22] Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx labeled the song as "funky", aligning with the "disco and synth-pop sounds of Lipa's Future Nostalgia" that is "edgy enough to serve as a bridge to her next".[15] In reviewing the album Funk Wav Bounces Vol.2, Ryan Bulbeck from Renowned for Sound found "Potion" to "effectively encapsulate the record's direction".[23] Izzy Sigston for The Line of Best Fit regarded the song to be "the perfect potion for a unwinding on a sticky summer evening".[24] Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone believed Lipa and Young Thug to "dissemble the art of seduction" on the song.[25] While Hannah Mylrea from NME described it as a "sultry, carefree jam", Arwa Haider for Financial Times labeled the song as "tuneful" and "intoxicating".[26][27] However, Ben Devlin of MusicOMH rendered the song as "nice" but opined that it "seems to lack impact".[28] Owen Myers from Pitchfork viewed the song as Lipa's "weakest [...] underwhelming post-Future Nostalgia singles".[29]
