About The Song
Chippie is a French and English Afropop collaboration between Aya Nakamura and British grime legend Skepta, released on May 29, 2026, as part of the deluxe edition of her album Destinée Supremacy.
The track runs approximately 2 minutes and 37 seconds and was produced by Hard Level (Chris Mouyeme) with mastering by Eric Chevet. The production builds a minimalist Afro-fusion backdrop, blending punchy percussion and melodic hooks that sit comfortably between club energy and radio appeal, leaving room for the two artists to trade verses in French and English.
Lyrically, the song explores the magnetic push and pull of a new relationship, with Nakamura confessing to a mischievous side that attracts her partner. The title itself is French slang for a woman who is playful, a little sassy, and knows her own value. She opens with "Ouais c'est vrai, j'ai un côté chippie" (Yeah, it's true, I have a mischievous side), admitting she feels shy in his presence while also possessing a "peste" side. The chorus delivers a single, repeated request for discretion: "Évite s'te plaît, de m'afficher s'te plaît" (Please avoid exposing me to the public).
Skepta enters with his signature laid-back delivery, opening with "Stop, je m'appelle Big Smoke, bonsoir mademoiselle" and weaving English bars about being an "undercover lover like Usher" and having "dreams I'm tryna sell". His verse complements Nakamura's melodic foundation while adding a UK rap edge that balances the track's energy. The song closes with a declaration of loyalty: "C'est eux contre nous, les autres en face sont KO / Même si le monde est contre toi, je resterai ta go" (It's them against us, the others are KO / Even if the world is against you, I'll stay your girl).

Chippie Lyrics
Baby, yeah, yeah
My baby, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Skepta]
Stop, my name's Big Smoke, good evening mademoiselle
She recognize me, she say my name rings a bell
I don't know anymore, you're the prettiest, don't sleep on me
I got dreams, I'm tryna sell racks in the bank, and I got Ps on me as well
Been an undercover lover, like Usher, I need a girl
Tryna leave the hood, jump on a jet, let's see the world, uh
[Verse 2: Aya Nakamura]
Yeah, it's true, I'vе got a cheeky side to me
In front of you, I'm awkward, a little shy
An arrogant sidе, a little bit cheeky
That's it, I think he's nitpicking
Oh no, I speak French (French), the rest of the world, I don't give a damn (Damn)
We met, we loved each other, he wasn't the one
I read over our conversations, what was that?
I don't recognize my behavior
[Chorus: Aya Nakamura & Skepta]
Baby, all mine, my baby
Avoid, please, avoid posting me, please
Baby, all mine, my baby
He told me: "Please, you can't post me" (Yeah)
[Verse 3: Skepta]
Baby girl, send me a flick one time
But don't send it if you're gonna post it online
I told my bro, "Lower your gaze!", he knows you're mine
But still I know you're playin' them games, you know you're fine
She's a freak, she's a flirt, Mowalola skirt
She knows her worth; she's a diamond in the dirt
Real-life baddie, you won't find her in a church
That's why I'm trying to press it like I'm ironin' a shirt
[Verse 4: Skepta & Aya Nakamura]
You speak English? Do you speak French? (Baby)
A little bit, you lookin' "Prêt à manger"
We can take it slow, we can play the long game
Just say the word, and baby, I'm on the way
I'm always in Paris like I'm Pharrell
Said he saw me in Matignon with a couple of girls (Couple of girls)
But tonight, I want nobody else
I think it's the way that you're talking got me under a spell
[Chorus: Aya Nakamura]
Baby, all mine, my baby
Avoid, please, avoid posting me, please
Baby, all mine, my baby
He told me: "Please, you can't post me"
[Outro: Aya Nakamura]
It's us against them, those facing us are KO
Even if the world is against you, I'll still be your girl
It's us against them, those facing us are KO
Even if the world is against you, I'll still be your girl
