Kim Petras, Polo | Song Review 🎵

Grammy-winning pop artist Kim Petras brings attitude, fierceness, and indisputable musical excellence to her ambitious and sexy single, “Polo.”

“Igot them alligators left and right, uh / My Ralph Lauren, tight and teeny, let’s go.” Lacoste? Polos or a pair of shoes, Kim Petras? Not that important, but the polo is a key part of her brief but fun song, “Polo”. The Grammy-winner co-wrote “Polo” with atlgrandma, Madison Love, and Nightfeelings (Nick Weiss). She co-produced alongside Margo XS and Nightfeelings.

Lyrically, Kim Petras has no shortage of striking moments.  Beyond the first verse (excerpted earlier,” she drops a pair of gems in the second. “You wanna pull it with your teeth / Chow-chow,” she sings, adding, “Sweat dripping down my upper thigh (Polo) / You wanna hit it with that polo stick (Right).” Polo stick, eh? The chorus is the crème de la crème – the section to beat:

“You wanna get me out my polo shirt (uh-uh)

… My polo and my mini skirt (Uh-uh)

Titties poppin’ out my bra (Like wow)

You wanna throw that to the floor (Right now)

Slap that logo on my ass (Uh-uh)

Make that pony come in first (Right now).”

Make that pony come… or… You know what, never mind! Kim Petras exhibits plenty of attitude and personality as she sings about sex.  As intriguing as Petras’ vocals are, the production slaps, too!  Ambitious, sleek, and soaked in the hyperpop aesthetic, the instrumental is prime fuel for Petras’ fire.  The beat and the malicious, sharp synths are everything! Kim puts her foot into “Polo”. Bop, bop, bop!
