      Since his standout performance that landed him in the Top 20 of American Idol Season 22 (2024), Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Ajii has been on a roll. He has now collaborated with fellow Season 22 Top 14 finalist Jordan Anthony for his fifth single after Idol, the bold and catchy pop track “Cherry.” Co-written by Ajii with producers Gregg Wattenberg (Goo Goo Dolls, John Legend) and Pom-Pom (John Legend, Suki Waterhouse), this alluring serenade is as delightful as an ice cream sundae. The soulful and captivating vocals pull the listener in, reflecting the goosebumps that the lyrics describe.

      Cherry – Ajii and Jordan Anthony

      Chills

      Running down my spine

      I’m catching

      Feels

      You walked in and time was frozen

      Baby, I’d be done if looks could kill

      Ajii’s remarkable journey to a Top 20 finish on American Idol was highlighted by a daring demonstration of his diverse, genre-crossing abilities, delivering impactful performances of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” (Hollywood Week), Alex Clare’s “Too Close” (Showstopper Round), and Tems’ “Higher” (Top 24 in Hawaii). At only 14, Anthony became the youngest competitor in The Voice Australia’s history to reach the Top 4. He was later selected to represent his country at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with his original song “We Will Rise,” where his heartfelt lyrics resonate with his personal experiences of bullying, heartbreak, and loss. Together, they aim to continue their success with this compelling release, adding the cherry on top of an already delightful treat.

      Baby, you’re the cherry on top just like a

      Cherry

      Feels so good it’s starting to

      Scare me

      When you’re close I can’t keep my

      Body to myself

      I don’t want nobody else, I don’t (I don’t)

      Almost everyone has experienced that irresistible allure, the captivating spell of someone whose presence is impossible to resist. This song perfectly embodies that feeling. From the first note of “Cherry,” the intoxicating and euphoric sensation envelops you, leaving you wanting more. The single promises that every night is legendary, and its appeal is undeniable. “When I first heard the song with Jordy on it, I knew it would be a hit. With clever wordplay and a catchy vibe, ‘Cherry’ takes you on a journey through love, desire, and everything in between. I hope you enjoy this track—it’s fire,” Ajii expresses.

      Who knew that heaven

      Was a place in your room (yeah)

      You start undressing

      And I’m taking in the views (yeah)

      Yeah, you’re the type

      To have your cake and eat it too (yeah)

      This track eloquently conveys the universal yearning to feel appreciated and loved, filling listeners with an intense sense of being genuinely desired. Throughout “Cherry,” it’s evident that she means the world to him. That longing to be someone’s everything is a relatable sentiment, which is why the song resonates so powerfully.

      I’ma put it like this

      You the cherry on top of my ice cream dish

      Genie in a bottle, I’m gonna get my wish

      Everybody wants a piece, but they can’t get a bit

      Your birthday suit is the best gift
