Coco Jones has just dropped Taste, a steamy R&B single that boldly samples Britney Spears’ 2003 classic Toxic while announcing her debut album Why Not More? set for release April 25th via High Standardz/Def Jam.
How Coco Jones’ “Taste” Transforms Britney’s “Toxic”
Taste by Coco Jones cleverly reimagines Britney Spears’ Toxic, particularly in the chorus where Jones sings:
“With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride / You’re toxic I’m slippin’ under / Taste of a poison paradise / I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?”
The production team behind this R&B makeover includes Stargate (Beyoncé, Rihanna) alongside Jasper Harris (Post Malone, Jack Harlow) and Aaron Shadrow.
They’ve transformed the dance-pop anthem into a sultry slow jam that showcases Jones’ vocal power while paying respect to the original.
Coco Jones “Taste” Lyrics Meaning: Bedroom Chemistry That’s Addictive
The Taste lyrics dive straight into themes of irresistible attraction and sensual desire.
Jones describes being completely captivated by her lover:
“Got me where I’d never be / Way you kiss my lips and leave a legacy / Oh, to live without you, what a tragedy / I can’t get enough”
Throughout Taste, Jones portrays a connection that’s as intoxicating as it is consuming.
The pre-chorus emphasises this with lines like “A taste gets me in places / I’m chasin’ I can’t erase it,” suggesting an almost involuntary pull toward this person.
By the bridge, Taste morphs into something even more explicit:
“Drippin’ down my lips / I’m tryna throw my little hips on you / I’m feenin’ for a kiss / Thirsty for a sip”
These lyrics, paired with the Toxic sample, create a narrative about desire that’s both empowering and vulnerable – Jones recognises this connection might be dangerous but embraces it fully.
The Coco Jones “Taste” Music Video Matches the Song’s Heat
The Coco Jones Taste music video, directed by Ava Rikki, features Jones in a red-bathed setting wearing a sheer, crystal-adorned brown outfit.
The visual embraces the song’s sensual themes with Jones showing off confident moves that perfectly complement the track’s seductive vibe.
The aesthetics align with the new direction Jones is taking for her debut album, as seen in the artwork for Why Not More? which shows Jones in an elegant white dress against a blue backdrop.
From Disney Star to Grammy-Winning R&B Force
Taste marks the third single from Jones’ upcoming debut album, following Most Beautiful Design featuring Future and London on da Track, and the twice Grammy-nominated Here We Go (Uh Oh).
Jones has already achieved impressive success without a full album, earning seven Grammy nominations throughout her career.
Last year alone, she was nominated for five Grammys including Best New Artist, winning Best R&B Performance for ICU.
Coco Jones’ journey to R&B stardom is unique. She began recording at age 9 and first gained recognition through Disney’s “So Random!” and in the network’s TV movie “Let It Shine” in 2012.
Now, alongside her music career, Jones continues to showcase her acting talents as Hilary Banks in Peacock’s “Bel-Air” (recently renewed for a fourth season).
She’s also wrapped production on an upcoming romantic comedy, “That’s Her,” which she’s both starring in and executive producing.
What Makes “Taste by Coco Jones” Stand Out?
What’s interesting about Taste is how it bridges Y2K nostalgia with contemporary R&B production.
The Toxic sample will hook millennials who grew up with Britney, while Jones’ fresh take feels completely 2025.
As mentioned in a interview about her approach to the album: “I felt like a scientist whose one experiment did really well… Now I’m getting all mad creative, just trying a bunch of different things.”
This creative freedom shows in Taste, which follows a different sonic path from her previous singles, each showcasing different facets of her musical identity.
What’s Next After “Taste”?
With Why Not More? dropping in April, Jones is poised for what might be her breakthrough year.
She’ll perform at the Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival in Miami this March alongside legends like New Edition and Toni Braxton.
If Taste is any indication, we’re in for an album that’s bold, experimental, and unapologetically sensual.
It’s the sound of an artist who knows exactly what she wants – and how to express it.
For fans of R&B with a modern twist, the Coco Jones Taste lyrics and sonic approach offer a promising glimpse of what’s to come on her full-length debut.

Coco Jones Taste Lyrics
Verse 1
Got me where I’d never be
Way you kiss my lips and leave a legacy
Oh, to live without you, what a tragedy
I can’t get enough
All up in my conscious
I don’t want another touch without you there
If I’m being honest, I’m falling in love
Pre-Chorus
(With a taste) A taste gets me in places
(With a taste) I’m chasin’ I can’t erase it
(With a taste) Taste me, boy, and I’ll taste you
(With a taste) That’s the way I feel when I’m slippin’ under
Chorus
(With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride) Oh-ooh
(You’re toxic I’m slippin’ under) Oh, oh, oh
(Taste of a poison paradise) Oh, ooh, yeah
(I’m addictеd to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?) Yeah
Verse 2
Don’t hold back, don’t want it
Do me likе that, I’m gone
Real, real bad, feelin’ every emotion
Big noise, back to back
It’s too good, I’m too attatched
One bite of you, the things that it could do
Pre-Chorus
(With a taste) A taste gets me in places
(With a taste) I’m chasin’ I can’t erase it
(With a taste) Taste me, boy, and I’ll taste you
(With a taste) That’s the way I feel when I’m slippin’ under
Chorus
(With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride) I’m on a ride
(You’re toxic I’m slippin’ under) Oh, slippin’, slippin’
(Taste of a poison paradise) It’s a paradise, ah-ah-ah
(I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?) Don’t you know that you’re toxic?
(With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride) I’m on a ride
(You’re toxic I’m slippin’ under) You’re toxic I’m slippin’ under
(Taste of a poison paradise) Oh-ooh
(I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?) I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?
Bridge
Drippin’ down my lips
I’m tryna throw my little hips on you
I’m feenin’ for a kiss
Thirsty for a sip
Drippin’ down my lips
I’m tryna throw my little hips on you
I’m all over the place
From just a little taste
Chorus
(With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride) Oh-ooh
(You’re toxic I’m slippin’ under) I’m slippin’ under
(Taste of a poison paradise)
(I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?) I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?
Outro
Uh-huh
Just a little taste
