Wendy Shay opens "This & That" with a pointed question, asking her lover whether he truly sees her as the grown woman she is. She is not here for games, and she makes that clear early: "I don't want you to play victim," she sings, with a confidence that sets the tone for the whole track. The warning carries real weight because it comes wrapped in melody, not anger.
The song's hook is built around the phrase "this and that," a playful way of describing the push and pull of romantic tension without spelling everything out. Wendy sings about the "cost of tatata," a cheeky nod to what is at stake when someone plays with her feelings. The repetition of "mefeeli wo dadada" grounds the chorus in Twi, giving the track a distinctly Ghanaian texture that feels effortless rather than forced.
Sarkodie steps in with his verse and flips the energy entirely. He leans into affection and generosity, referencing sending money to her account and making sure she feels taken care of. His lines mix Ghanaian Pidgin, Twi, and English in the way he always has, moving between tenderness and bravado without missing a beat.
Together, Wendy Shay and Sarkodie create something that is equal parts flirtatious and emotionally honest. The chemistry between their two styles, her directness and his playful confidence, is exactly what makes the collab work. If this is the kind of music these two make together, one can only hope it is not their last.
