Sway With Me is a song performed by Saweetie and Galxara. It is featured on the soundtrack album for the film Birds of Prey.
Marina's Pitch[]
On December 17, 2020, Marina's pitch was leaked.[1] Marina has explained how "pitching" works when speaking about End of the Earth:[2]
- Lots of different artists pitch a song, and I haven't really done that before [..] in the end they didn't use it. [..] I would love to do a whole soundtrack for a film.
Atlantic Records released the Birds of Prey soundtrack. Other artists under the parent company of Warner (who produced the Movie) were likely also asked to pitch for the soundtrack, with the production team picking what songs they thought suited the movie. Unfortunately not Marina's pitch.
Trivia[]
- This is one of several songs which Marina has written or recorded for a film. End of the Earth was written for a film, and About Love was written for the soundtrack of To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.
- The chorus is a sped-up sample of Rosemary Clooney’s "Sway", a cover of the 1954 Dean Martin song of the same name.[3]

Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
[Verse: MARINA]
(Here comes)
Here comes the type of girl you don't like
Sleeping all day, party all night
Laugh like a cannon firing double time
Head full of scars, got a dangerous mind
People they said, always said to me
"You’re out of control", but honey, I'm free
It's too much fun being bad to be sweet
Well behaved women don't make history
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
I'm just dressing for myself, why you so obsessed with me?
[Chorus]
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
