about

Jujulipps, the über talented and larger than life Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand) based hip-hop artist, is back!

Today her latest single and music video ‘Airplane Mode’ will be released to the world, described by the artist as “the ultimate Afrobeat switch off anthem.” The track fuses African rhythms and energetic horn melodies and showcases a new sound for Jujulipps as she seamlessly intertwines English and Swahili lyrics. A rebellion against hustle culture and the relentless pressure to be available 24/7, it’s as if the world has been begging for a track like this.

Much like the artist, ‘Airplane Mode’ is effortlessly cool and driven along by an infectious beat. “It’s a hold-my-bag moment,” says Jujulipps. “A hold-my-worries-while-I-go-and-dance-like-there's-no-tomorrow-for-the-next-2:26-minutes moment.” Honestly, count us in.

lyrics

Someone’s calling me
I don’t know why (I don't know why)
I don’t reply (no don’t reply)
I don’t reply
I say someone’s calling me
I don’t know why
I don’t reply (no don’t reply)
I don’t reply

We on airplane mode
Too fly too high
We on airplane mode
Too fly too high
We on airplane mode
Too fly too high
We on airplane mode
Too fly too high

Nitakupiga misasi/risasi (I will beat you)
Am I your peer?
You want to fight me
Oh my dear
Unataka kucheza lakini (you want to play but)
Try, you will see me

Someone’s calling me
I don’t know why
Someone’s calling me I don’t know why

You want to stress me
Please don’t jealous me
You want to pressurise, then demonise (look at this one)
You want to stress me?
Please don’t jealous me
You want to pressurise and demonise

Someone’s calling me
I don’t know why, (I don't know why)
I don’t reply (I don't reply)
Someone’s calling me I don’t know why
I don’t reply, I don’t reply

We on airplane mode
Too fly too high
We on airplane mode
Too fly too high
We on airplane mode
Too fly too high
We on airplane mode
Too fly too high

Someone’s calling me
I don’t know why, I never pick up (I don't pick up)
I never reply
Someone’s calling me I don’t know why
I never pick up, (I don't pick up)
I don’t reply
