Danna released her latest album Childstar on April 11th, marking the beginning of a new era that hinted at her evolution as an artist. This shift became evident when the Mexican singer decided to ditch her former stage name ‘Danna Paola’ in favor of the simpler ‘Danna’. Notably, her previous moniker had been associated with years of work in Mexican television, dating back to her childhood. Thus, this name change, symbolizing a significant identity shift, held deep personal significance for her.
Childstar represents Danna’s journey of self-discovery and reinvention. It’s a mature album that demonstrates her willingness to explore new musical territories and express herself authentically. Recently, it came to light that one of her songs, «PLATONIK,» drew inspiration from a real-life experience where she found herself falling in love with a woman. Conversely, «ATARI» serves as a declaration of her most primal desires, laying bare her innermost longings.
The song’s title alludes to both the company with the same name and the video game console. Interestingly, the console, known as the Atari VCS (Video Computer System), was released in September 1977, marking the first successful video game system and introducing interchangeable cartridges. Therefore, the title suggests a sensual form of ‘playing’ with her (but in a ‘sexy’ way). This idea is reinforced by the song lyrics, making it quite evident.
S*x with your body, today I’m yours
I want to feel you, and you know you have the key
What are we doing here? Today it’s my turn
And you know I want your body
I won’t lie, I have to admit
That I want s*x with your body
F**k with your body
Today I woke up wanting to get wet
You’re my Caribbean sea to roll in, to swim in
Record a video to remind me
A fantasy to not forget, and stay in your mind
For me, I want you just for me
Make a tsunami out of me, run like a Ferrari
For me, play me like Atari
Smoke me like ‘Mary’, eat me like candy
Go low, low, low
From top to bottom like me, me, me
Make me feel like I own the sky, low
Go with your hands melting it
Today I woke up wanting to get wet
In your Caribbean sea I’m going to wallow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Take a video to remind me
A fantasy to not forget me and stay in your mind
S*x with your body, today I am for you
I want to feel you and you know that you have the key
What are we doing here? Today is my turn
And you know I want your bodysuit
I’m not going to lie, I have to admit
I want s*x with your body
F**k with your body
For me, I love you just for me
Make me a tsunami, run like Ferrari
For me, play me like Atari
Smoke me like ‘Mary,’ eat me like candy
