🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa
  • Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa
  • Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa
  • Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa

Echo the hook

  • I wanna take you away
  • Let's escape into the music, DJ, let it play
  • I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this
  • Keep on rockin' to it
