Exploring the meaning of "Gorgeous"
Jhené Aiko’s Chorus
Aiko's chorus sets the tone with vivid imagery and expressive delivery. Lines like "Under the skies, stars in your eyes" evoke romance, while "We do the wildest things 'til six in the mornin'" brings in Snoop's signature reference to late-night escapades, a nod to his iconic track "Gin and Juice." Her vocal delivery is airy and hypnotic, matching the dreamlike production.Snoop Dogg's Verses
In the first verse, Snoop flexes his charisma and clever wordplay with lines like "Droppin’ these jewels, where I'm from, you better treasure your chest." His references to board games like Monopoly ("I'm a hot commodity, Boardwalk, Monopoly") cleverly underline his dominance and self-made success. The verse encapsulates Snoop's ability to mix charm and assertiveness. The second verse shifts gears into more playful territory, combining imagery of cruising in lowriders (“watch the '64 roll”) with his signature Crip pride. The juxtaposition of highs and lows reflects both his personal journey and his musical versatility.Instrumentation and Production
The instrumental arrangement includes live brass sections and smooth drum programming, adding layers of richness to the soundscape. The combination of nostalgic G-Funk elements with modern R&B polish creates a timeless vibe, underscoring the chemistry between Snoop and Jhené.Songs similar to Gorgeous

Lyrics
Gorgeous (song) by Snoop Dogg
I feel so f**kin' gorgeous
Don't this sh*t look gorgeous?
Under the skies, stars in your eyes
This is euphoric (Yeah, baby, come on)
We can be anything, this is everything
We do the wildest things 'til six in the mornin'
Yeah, b**ch, this the feelin'
[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
Last time I checked
I was the plug to your plug, I'm the f**king connect
What you expect? Negotiate and never settle for less
I never lose, always winnin' when I shuffle a deck
Droppin' these jewels, where I'm from, you better treasure your chest
You know the rules, plus one, she always come with a guest
She in the pool, best believe I plan on makin' her wet
Give her the blues, back up in this b**ch and get in my reps
Show you how to do it properly when you on my property
I'm a hot commodity, Boardwalk, Monopoly
A nigga safe ran out of space, I'm a odyssey
Honestly, I'm that motherf**ker that you gotta see
[Chorus: Jhené Aiko]
I feel so f**kin' gorgeous
Don't this sh*t look gorgeous?
Under the skies, stars in your eyes
This is euphoric (Yeah, baby, come on)
We can be anything, this is everything
We do the wildest things 'til six in the mornin'
Yeah, b**ch, this the feelin'
[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
Now, woah, woah, woah, woah
Now that's a lotta ass in the passenger seat
Drop it low, low, low, low
Yeah, 'bout to hit a switch in this b**ch, watch the '64 roll
I dealt with the cons and the pros
I mix Crip sh*t with the highs and the lows
Picture this, b**ch, withdrawin' the bankroll
It's just some Dogg food for the soulless
Criminal psychology, this sh*t just a part of me
Industrial robbery, a product of '93 (Yeah)
Follow me, follow me, I'm where the dollars be
My stock up, nigga, no return on this policy
[Chorus: Jhené Aiko]
I feel so f**kin' gorgeous
Don't this sh*t look gorgeous?
Under the skies, stars in your eyes
This is euphoric (Yeah, baby, come on)
We can be anything, this is everything
We do the wildest things 'til six in the mornin'
Yeah, b**ch, this the feelin'
