Taboo Lyrics – Fridayy | from “Everybody Got Somebody”

Fridayy is closing out the year with Everybody Got Somebody, a fresh EP dropping today on Def Jam that feels like a late-night call to that one person who gets you, and Taboo kicks it off with this slow-simmer confession about desires we don’t always say out loud—raw edges and all.

Taboo runs just under four minutes, a silky R&B groove built on those warm keys and subtle percussion that let Fridayy’s baritone breathe easy. Producers MOMBRU, Fridayy himself, Aidan Brody, and J Miller keep it understated, blending gospel-tinged soul with a modern trap undercurrent that pulls you in without trying too hard. At its heart, it’s about the pull of forbidden connections—the kind that feel electric but come with whispers of “you shouldn’t.” Lines tease that tension between wanting to dive in and knowing it’s messy, turning personal what-ifs into something universal, like Fridayy’s way of saying we’ve all got those quiet rebellions in love. No guests here; it’s pure him, evolving that signature vulnerability he honed on tracks like “When It Comes to You” into something a touch more shadowed and seductive.

The EP’s a six-track lean-in to relationships that stick, no matter the complications—title says it all, right? It flows from Taboo’s opener intrigue to Below Zero’s chill reflections, Won’t Keep You Waiting’s patient plea, Last Forever’s steady promise, and Death Do Us Part with Mariah the Scientist adding that layered harmony on eternal bonds. Then it wraps on StallIN’, a closer that nods to holding patterns in love. Clocking in at about 20 minutes total, it’s Fridayy stripping back after his big double-album swing earlier this year, focusing on those everyday entanglements that make us human. Teasers hit his Instagram yesterday, with clips of the Taboo visual already stirring up those “this hits different” comments.

Fresh off a 2026 Grammy nod for his sophomore set and that steady run of features with folks like Chris Brown and Meek Mill, Fridayy’s in this sweet spot—Philly roots meeting global shine. He’s traded some of the debut’s triumphant highs for deeper dives into the gray areas, like he’s settling into his voice as the guy who sings the unsaid parts of our stories, faith-laced but never preachy.
