Coi Leray is features on the song titled Flava, adding a unique touch of Hip-Hop to the Dancehall track. Shenseea dropped the music video for Flava on YouTube at midnight, marking the fourth music video released for a song on her album.

Flava is a groovy song in which Shenseea and Coi Leray boast about being chased by men who shower them with gifts. Shenseea kickstarts the song in the first verse and then sings in the chorus before Coi Leray starts rapping in the second verse.

“Di boys dem all want me, dem gyal yah get salty, salty, we not talking spicy, spicy, it mek yuh wah bite me, bite me. Yuh just want di flava, flava,” Shenseea sings.

The music video begins with the sun rising beyond a mountain, scenes of the beach, and other typical sights in Jamaica.

Shenseea and Coi Leray can be seen shortly after, rocking bikinis in two different shades of blue. Later, the pair wear skimpy outfits as they have fun in a lush area. The fun continues with scenes of them at Jamaica’s Carnival and then at the beach.
