“Big Energy” is Latto’s lead single from her second studio album and, in virtue of flipping Mariah Carey’s 1995 song “Fantasy,” also joins the ever-growing list of songs to feature a sample of Tom Tom Club’s 1981 hit “Genius of Love.”

Explaining the themes of the song, Latto told Essence:

BDE is for both genders. It’s basically just this confidence, this strong aura that no one can tell you, “You not the sh–. You is the sh–.” It’s about believing in yourself – how you walk, how you talk, just carrying yourself like the person that you believe you are.
