Puzzled Lyrics – Hovey Benjamin (feat. Bella Poarch)

Hovey Benjamin is flipping the script on party fouls with Puzzled, his fresh collab with Bella Poarch out now via Netflix, and it’s that guilty-pleasure anthem for anyone who’s ever ghosted a crowd for a quick swipe of tiles—because who needs real life when the next level’s calling?

This three-minute earworm mashes Hovey’s deadpan comedy rap with Poarch’s airy pop hooks over a bouncy, synth-driven beat that feels like a mobile game loading screen come to life. It’s got that lo-fi charm, sparse drums and quirky samples underscoring the verses’ stream-of-consciousness rants about ditching a surprise bash for daily puzzles. Thematically, it’s a hilarious roast of modern escapism: the rat race versus rearranging letters, where “everything except for games fills my body with rage.” Lines like sneaking to the bathroom mid-party or muzzling chats until the board’s cleared nail that relatable itch, turning addiction into absurd self-awareness. No big production flex here—just Hovey’s wry delivery trading bars with Poarch’s wistful chorus, making it equal parts confessional and cartoonish.

Dropping as a standalone single tied to Netflix’s new Puzzled hub—a daily dose of word, logic, and visual brain-teasers pulled from hits like Stranger Things and Squid Game—it’s already racking up views since the MV hit YouTube two days back. The video’s a riot: glitchy animations and cameos that mirror the lyrics’ chaos, with the full crew shoutout in the description hyping the puzzle promo on mobile and Tudum.com. Fans are flooding comments with “me at every family dinner” vibes, quoting the post-chorus like it’s their new mantra. Stream it on Spotify or wherever—search “Puzzled Hovey Benjamin” to lock it in.

Hovey’s been carving his niche in comedy rap since Send Bobs dropped back in 2022, blending awkward confessions with R&B grooves that poke fun at the everyday grind. Teaming up with Poarch, the TikTok-to-pop star who’s nailed collabs from 6lack to Sub Urban, feels spot-on for this: her breathy “I’d rather play a puzzle game” adds that viral sparkle to his offbeat humor. At a moment when he’s fresh off Sadsummer’s introspective turns, Puzzled lands like a palate cleanser—light, shareable, and perfectly timed for holiday scroll sessions that turn into all-nighters.
