Following the introspective ballad of the opener, “Hit & Run” immediately detonates as the album’s first main statement, a high-octane track that re-establishes Shenseea’s dominance in the dancehall space.
Production and Energy: Produced by the Jamaican powerhouse Di Genius (who also features on vocals), the track delivers a signature, infectious dancehall rhythm characterized by hard-hitting drums and a catchy, driving bassline. It’s built for the club and the streets, relying on the aggressive, quickfire Patois flow that initially propelled Shenseea to fame.
Lyrical Content & Collaboration: The song centers on themes of unapologetic independence and non-committal fun. Shenseea takes the lead, delivering slick, confident verses about her untouchable status and her refusal to settle down, essentially framing her relationships as fast, thrilling, and ultimately fleeting “hit and runs.” The collaboration with fellow Jamaican star Masicka adds significant weight and lyrical firepower, creating a dynamic lyrical exchange that elevates the track to a genuine dancehall anthem.
“Hit & Run” serves as a crucial moment on Never Gets Late Here, acting as a powerful nod to her roots while showcasing her ability to craft chart-topping, undeniable rhythm tracks with Jamaica’s best talent.
