"BREAK A NECK" (stylized in all uppercase; also known as "Dance All Night") is a collaboration between Odetari and Ayesha Erotica. It was released on April 17th, 2024, as a single, through the Artist Partner Group label.[1]
Background[]
The production of the song dates back to Fall of 2023. Odetari claims in the description of an Instagram post:
| “ | It started off as just a beat I made like 6 months ago and I just didn’t know what to do with it.
I had sent it to Ayesha with some ideas in mind and she sent it back same day and my jaw was on the floor.[2] |

It was originally first teased on a Odetari’s Instagram story and later teased on one of Ayesha Erotica's Instagram lives. The song was first given the fan-made title of "Dance All Night".[1]
Snippets and hints about the song were gradually revealed until March 20th 2024, when, on the same day as Odetari’s song "DICE AND ROLL" released, the entirety of "BREAK A NECK" was uploaded to Apple Music with no announcement or notice. The real name of the song was also revealed. There is still no real answer as to why this happened, but it was removed a short time later. Odetari also posted on his TikTok account about a delay in releasing "DICE AND ROLL", and this might have been something to do with it.[1]
It wasn’t until the 8th of April 2024 when the song would receive a proper announcement on Odetari’s TikTok account: a short snippet of the song with a specially animated video playing. It was set to release 9 days later on the 17th.[1]
Theme[]
The song talks about the desire to have a good time dancing all night and not worrying about personal issues. Ayesha's lyrics also address themes of confidence, taking control, and calling out others for their lack of authenticity and success in the music industry. The repeated phrase "I just wanna dance all night" emphasizes the need for escapism and enjoying the moment despite challenges. [3]

[Intro]
('Tari, get over here)
[Chorus: Ayesha Erotica]
(Dance all night)
I just wanna dance all night (Dance all night)
Dance all night (Dance all night)
I just wanna, I just wanna—
(Dance all night)
I just wanna dance all night (Dance all night)
Dance all night (Dance all night)
Dance, dance all—all—all night
[Verse 1: Ayesha Erotica]
Bitch, get fucked, 'cause you ass, and you puss
How you bitches got signed and you don't got push?
Like, please, everything I do is for a fee
I'll shake a bitch down for a purse and a weave
I'll shake a bitch down for a BMI
Who writes your shit, bitch? Just me and I
Why you bitches act scary and dark? It's just dumb
You would pop a damn tit tryna shoot off a gun
[Pre-Chorus: Ayesha Erotica]
(Dance all night) (All night)
(Dance, d-d-d-d-dance, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-da-a-ance—night—night)
(Dance all night) (All night)
(Night, n-n-n-n-night, n-n-n-n-n-n-n-ni-i-ight)
(Dance—dance a-a-all night)
[Chorus: Odetari & Ayesha Erotica]
Damn (Damn), woah (Woah), you're moving too fast
Girl, you need to slow down (I just wanna dance all night)
Damn (Damn), woah (Woah), you're moving too fast
Girl, you need to slow down (Dance—dance—a-a-a-all—)
(Dance all night)
I just wanna dance all night (Dance all night)
Dance all night (Dance all night)
I just wanna dance all night
I just wanna, I just wanna—
(Dance all night)
I just wanna dance all night (Dance all night)
Dance all night (Dance all night)
Dance, dance all—all—all night
[Verse 2: Odetari]
Sh-she don't wanna think about her problems
She just want to get into that club to shake her bottom
She think if she drink this liquor, then it's gon' dissolve 'em
When she grabbed me by my neck, I knew it was a problem (Problem)
[Bridge: Ayesha Erotica]
Break a sweat
I can make you break your neck
I can make you break your neck
I can make you break a sweat
Bre-break a sweat, bre-break a sweat
I can make you break your neck
I can make you break your neck
I can make you break a sweat
Bre-break a sweat
[Chorus: Odetari & Ayesha Erotica]
Damn (Damn), woah (Woah), you're moving too fast
Girl, you need to slow down (I just wanna dance all night)
Damn (Damn), woah (Woah), you're moving too fast
Girl, you need to slow down (Dance—dance—a-a-a-all—)
[Verse 3: Ayesha Erotica]
And you ain't slick, bitch, you ain't shit
I seen you rise and fall, bitch, you ate shit
Chopped cheese, you done, you got eight-six'd
When you bitches speak my name, I know you taste it
And about that album, bitch, stop it
That shit corny like tees at Hot Topic
I'ma make you bimbo hoes go back Gothic
Let me know how many streams until you profit
[Outro: Ayesha Erotica]
Pussy, pussy
Pussy, pussy
[Verse]
Bitch, get fucked, 'cause you ass, and you puss
How you bitches got signed and you don't got push?
Like, please, everything I do for a fee
I'll shake a bitch down for a purse and a weave
I'll shake a bitch down for a BMI
Who writes your shit, bitch? Just me and I
Why you bitches act scary and dark? It's just dumb
You would pop a damn tit tryna shoot off a gun
You better run, run, run as fast as you can, bitch
[?] sound like I planned it
How you can't up a game that was handed?
Stupid bitch, you're braindead, not branded
Like Joanne did, yup, I done scammed it
I just took a whole damn scene and I ran it
I'm the type of hoe that [?] and get [?]
You the type of hoe that [?]
And you ain't slick, bitch, you ain't shit
I seen you rise and fall, bitch, you ate shit
Chopped cheese, you done, you got 8-6'd
When you bitches speak my name, I know you taste it
And about that album, bitch, stop it
That shit corny like tees at Hot Topic
I'ma make you bimbo hoes go back Gothic
Let me know how many streams until you profit
Pussy
I just wanna dance all night
I just wanna dance all night
