Apple's latest iPhone commercial features a slick song over its footage of a man making a mess while cooking. But just who sings this song? As it turns out, the featured track is "Sauce" by Naïka, a French and Haitian artist born in Miami. The song comes from Naïka's EP "Lost in Paradise Pt. 2," which was released in early 2021 before eventually being used by Apple (via Genius). "Sauce" was produced by Cody Tarpley and was written by Naïka, Tarpley, and two others.
The song doesn't relate to actual food at all, though. In "Sauce," Naïka uses the food as a metaphor for sex and love, though the full meaning of the lyrics is left unknown in Apple's commercial, with the brand only using repeated sections of the song's chorus. "I got the recipe / Hit a hundred degrees / Better get on your knees / Drip gon' have you begging for my love / My love, my love / I'll have you begging for my love, my love," Naika sings in the pre-chorus (via Genius).
This track is ultimately a fun, sensual song that celebrates what it means to be human.
