She got to shake her little something
(Shake her little something)
Ooh, throwin’ that thing from left, right, side to side
She got to have her own money
(She got her own money)
Oh, yeah
Shout out to the girls that pay they rent on time
If you ain’t here to party, take your ass back home
If you getting naughty, baby, here’s my phone
Slide with your boy to the bar
Slide with your boy to the car
I’ve been searchin’ everywhere and now here you are
Ooh, chunky
Lookin’ for them girls with the big ol’ hoops
That drop it down in Daisy Dukes
(I wanna get down)
Yeah, them the ones I’m tryna recruit
I’m lookin’ at you
Yeah, you, baby
Now let me hear you say you ready
(I’m ready)
Oh, yeah
Girl, you better have your hair weave strapped on tight
‘Cause once we get goin’, we rollin’
We’ll cha-cha ’til the morning
So just say alright
(Alright)
If you ain’t here to party, take your ass back home
If you getting naughty, baby, here’s my phone
Slide with your boy to the bar
Slide with your boy to the car
I’ve been searchin’ everywhere and now here you are
Ooh, chunky
Lookin’ for them girls with the big ol’ hoops
That drop it down in Daisy Dukes
(I wanna get down)
Yeah, them the ones I’m tryna recruit
I’m looking at you
Yeah, you, baby
(Baby, baby, baby)
Ow, you got what I want
(I got what you want)
Girl, you got what I need
(I got what you need)

Ooh, squeeze all of that into my coupe

Chunky
Lookin’ for them girls with the big ol’ hoops
That drop it down in Daisy Dukes

Hey, I’m looking at you
Yeah, you, baby
(Baby, baby, baby)
Celebrating Confidence and Good Vibes
“Chunky” by Bruno Mars is a vibrant anthem that celebrates confidence, independence, and fun. The lyrics paint a lively scene at a party, where Mars is searching for women who own their style and aren’t afraid to take center stage. With playful nods to fashion and body positivity, the song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and enjoy the moment. Its infectious groove, inspired by ’80s and ’90s funk and R&B, invites everyone to let loose and dance the night away.
Empowering Lyrics with a Flirty Edge
Mars’s references to women who “pay they rent on time” and “got her own money” highlight a respect for independence, while the chorus’s catchy recruitment call is both cheeky and empowering. “Chunky” stands out for its celebration of self-assurance and unapologetic joy, making it a favorite for parties and feel-good playlists.
