that chorus is so heavenly the way her voice ascends on the higher register so comfortably and the absolutely GORGEOUS strings in the back that compliment the surfy-tropical beat so damn well.

I can literally never get sick of playing this song….it managed to capture that romantic getaway vacation vibe so insanely well and ”when i hear that song i wanna be with you” is such an endearing lyric even now i find it so cute and personal 😭

It’s such a shame damita jo didn’t have much legs island life would’ve been a beautiful summer single or it would’ve got a bit more appreciation outside of being a fan-favourite on the album. It plays to all of janet’s strengths vocally and imo leads the strongest section of the album too.
