Standalone single (November 19, 2021 · Beformer), not on Big Hug or KŌAN. Co-written with Robel Ketema and Cary Singer, with Robel Ketema featured on the track.

The hook makes appetite into intimacy: I wanna consume ya / another little bite of your soul. Love as data harvest, the phone as the container the whole relationship lives in, loneliness made optional because I keep you in my pocket.

The second verse runs the always-on economy from dial-up AIM through Venmo, crypto and IG to the punchline: so so many wires / now it makes sense that we tied up. The title leans into the same 5G it sexualizes, the network that during the pandemic also got blamed for spreading the virus by conspiracy theorists. Here it just means never lonely on the long road again. Same lane as All My Friends Live on the Internet, hornier and poppier.

Lyrics
I wanna consume ya
Like now and forever
Your front back and center
Another little bite of your soul

Your digital footprint
I'm building a blueprint
Forever has never been
As close as it
Really seems to get everyday

We used to take the long road
But now I never have to feel so lonely
I keep you in my pocket
Never gonna stop it

I wanna consume ya
Like now and forever
Your front back and center
Another little bite of your soul

Your digital footprint
I'm building a blueprint
Forever has never been
As close as it
Really seems to get everyday

I'm your 5G baby
Make me your 5G baby
5G baby
Make me your 5G baby

Shawty used to hit me on aim
She had me wired up
Always hit up faster
Even though we both had the dial up

Call me on the way
And I would meet you bout a mile up
Never could be night
Cuz it's feeling like it's time's up

Venmo
Crypto
Testla
iG come find me
Connecting at the crevice overwhelming

Sha
Sha
Shawty used to hit my aim
Your had me wired up
So so many wires
Now it makes sense that we tied up

I'm your 5G baby
Make me your 5G baby
5G baby
Make me your 5G baby

I wanna consume ya
Like now and forever
Your front back and center
Another little bite of your soul

Your digital footprint
I'm building a blueprint
Forever has never been
As close as it
Really seems to get everyday

I'm your 5G baby
Make me your 5G baby
5G baby
Make me your 5G baby
