What she meant to say was "Hi, I'm Banks and this is easily one of the best songs of the last decade, the lyrics, vocals, production and instrumentals of this song are out of this world, it's a full body experience listening to it and it's called Contaminated and you're watching 1 Mic 1 Take"
Lyrics You wanna get to know me You memorized the lines of my thighs I knew before you told me you'd get it right And you took the dark for granted And you love me like you promised your wife It's almost like you planned it in the daylight I like the way you say it Tell me the words you told me that day Maybe if I could believe it I could just stay 'Cause I like the way you do it Yeah I like the way you move it baby show me the way I like the way you get it on the freeway And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go Our love is tainted You said they'd be against us I say, "You care too much what they say" You said, "Do me a favor, give me some faith" 'Cause you promised me you'd do it You said, "Baby, let me prove it, look at me in the face This is the face of someone who loves you, babe" And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go Our love is tainted And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go Our love is tainted And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go
she’s easily one of my safety artists. i first heard her music as a modern/contemporary dancer and have loved her since. her music also helped me through the biggest heartbreak of my life, through anxiety and depression, through happiness. banks is my safe place ❤️ have seen her 2 times live and i hope i can for the rest of my life. banks has done so much for me without knowing me or my name. i’m so thankful
I've never heard anyone flex this many vocal skills in one video...like her transitions from high notes to lower notes are FLAWLESS and different every single time
This One gets me every time. Not many artists show actual genuine conviction like Banks does on this song. I'd love to hear an orchestra version loud and clear cause Damn the light shines is amazing. Banks your voice and words helped me change my life and taught me I was capable of protecting my own energy in leaving an extremely toxic relationship. Thank you.
franzi.annasophie b. I’ve seen her live twice (and hopefully more in the future) and it was honestly so life changing each and every time. What an incredible, incredible artist.
Gerðr it ended in January. I couldn’t imagine feeling so low and by someone I trusted. I feel much better now. I try to avoid anything that reminds me of that situation.
I love how far you've come, from not even being able to face the crowd, to finding your own sound, and OWNING it.. you are such an inspiration to me everyday, and you WRITE MY LIFE!
Oh. My. God. Banks, your man is one of the luckiest guys on the planet 🥵😭💔 beautiful voice, beautiful performer and such a stunning and classy looking lady.
this performance is flawless. her vocals not only are pitch perfect but her control and how she places everything, her rubato in the chorus, her falsetto switches, the ad libs. phenomenal.
I've probably listened to the album version of Contaminated upwards of 300 times since I discovered III a month or so ago and now I found the next best thing. Good lord she has the most immaculate vocals I've ever heard.
Jill is without a doubt one the artists that gives you all the feels, the highs and the lows as smooth as silk delivered straight to your emotions! Love you girl!!
It's beautiful Ms. Jillian ❤ Reminds me of the Goddess magic... I saw you in Orlando in 2012 😍 It was amazing and I got you to sign my Goddess CD after the show ❤ My fiancé joked with you, saying Thank you for all the Xbox time he was getting, as I was preoccupied with being a Goddess! ..just in case you might remember us! 😉.... Just be you and don't let this ugly industry tarnish your shine my lady! You are one of a kind ✌💗😁
Easily the most underrated artist of all time!!!!! Banks is the most real and heartfelt artists of all time in my eyes and heart, she deserves so many accolades and all that jazz that goes with music industry stuffs. When your music speaks on so many levels you are simply a goddess….please continue to spread the soul of your perfection imho ❤😊
There's just something so special about this song. I feel like her, Kevin, and the Wiild don't understand the power this song possesses. Like I wonder did they know they were writing a masterpiece. And both BJ Burton's production and this live band's performance just amplifies it in the best way possible.
The lack of color and the contrast of black and white really set the mood. She would fit right in as the intimate close quarters performer in a speakeasy of an old time movie.
I balled my eyes out watching you & hearing this song live at Falls Festival in Byron earlier this year. I was SO lucky to be on the front barrier. You are such an amazing artist, song writer and presence in this world - thank you ❤️
BANKS, finding you was actually an accident.. but it isn’t a coincidence that you are one of my favorite artists in my history of existing. I love you! 💕
Every one of your songs are everything I feel! I’ve been completely shattered by a man who I thought truly wanted me for me. I feel like I can never trust myself again because I was so sure. Now I’m destroyed! Thank you Banks for singing what my heart feels. Your songs bring me the closure I need! Truly you’re an amazing artist!!!
Shout out to a young lady as pure as they come. Using her voice not looks. No stage dancers half naked drawing 🙊attention.🙏 Pure🙏 talent. Bravo. I've had this in my playlist for a while now circled🧭 back needed something 💥real.💯
Just, holy shit. I’ve listened to so many of her songs and they never fail to be incredible. Even if the instrumentation or visuals weren’t as good, it wouldn’t matter. Her pure voice is so incredible and gorgeous, she is *so* talented. Keep going girl, you are absolutely amazing!
I can't believe it's been almost 10 years!!! Still one of my fave female artists, so many memories... They hurt sometimes 😔 Its good to watch her grow! 🪴 That voice drives me crazy in a goosebumps all over kind of way!
What she meant to say was "Hi, I'm Banks and this is easily one of the best songs of the last decade, the lyrics, vocals, production and instrumentals of this song are out of this world, it's a full body experience listening to it and it's called Contaminated and you're watching 1 Mic 1 Take"
Jakob Whale 😂😂😂
Jakob Whale lmaooooooo yesssssssssssssss
Best of the last decade? Nah..... good but not even her best.
Jakob Whale FACTS
That’s exactly what I heard Banks say!
i’m so glad i found BANKS , she is truly a talented artist and her music is beyond relatable and unforgettable
how long have you been a fan? I discovered her about five years ago and I still feel the same way when I hear her music old or new.
Lucy Babydoll periodt
my mom actually introduced me to her. she was hooked to the song “f--k em only we know” in 2014 and i’ve been listening to her ever since
milk me.
Ant k. ??
“This is the face of someone who loves you babe” kills Me. I’m crying.
aaaaaah :((( im crying now too
I thought she says "who lose you"
Contaminated is one of my FAVORITE songs by Banks
mine too, it's the closest today's music has been to an orgasm
Absolutely love the way she changes the "oh-oh-oh" vocals everytime. WE STAN A FRESH QUEEN
Matteo cerilli wig sis ugh💅🏼
this song suits her voice and shows off her range so well i’m in love with this version
Agreed, if there's one tiny tiny flaw she has, it's that sometimes she doesn't show her range as much as she could. In this it really comes through.
you just made my quarantine a little bit more bearable
ikr
we're always gonna be contaminated
@@aidanquigley6188 my thoughts exactly lmao
I clicked it and even before she started singing I was like “this one’s gonna hurt”
it’s 2023 and I come back to watch this every year since it came out. I still can’t believe how talented this woman is. Her voice rattles my soul.
Same!! But in 2024 😂
@@mrcoolguy819i’m in the same club😂
*This is the one of the best songs of all time and y'all can fight me on it*
Her vocal performances always seem so effortless.
Wait, you're telling me you can't hear the HUGE amounts of auto-tune on this track?!
silentgypsy there could be autotune in the live track as well, but it’s EQ’d well so it sounds kinda fake
@@silentgypsy in that case you should see her live
@@silentgypsy um she sounds just like this live it's mesmerizing
Lyrics
You wanna get to know me
You memorized the lines of my thighs
I knew before you told me you'd get it right
And you took the dark for granted
And you love me like you promised your wife
It's almost like you planned it in the daylight
I like the way you say it
Tell me the words you told me that day
Maybe if I could believe it I could just stay
'Cause I like the way you do it
Yeah I like the way you move it baby show me the way
I like the way you get it on the freeway
And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Our love is tainted
You said they'd be against us
I say, "You care too much what they say"
You said, "Do me a favor, give me some faith"
'Cause you promised me you'd do it
You said, "Baby, let me prove it, look at me in the face
This is the face of someone who loves you, babe"
And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Our love is tainted
And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Our love is tainted
And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Trying to remember what I listened to before I discovered her...
Bekah Potts literally same!
Trying to remember how I lived before I discovered her
same
Yas
This came on shuffle randomly last night and I haven’t been the same... how did I live without knowing this song
WE NEED A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS SONG!!!
It already has one
Ana-Maria Dumitru It has a lyric video, dance video and a visualizer, i want a music video with her
This is it
This is it....they couldn't do any better than this right here!
she’s easily one of my safety artists. i first heard her music as a modern/contemporary dancer and have loved her since. her music also helped me through the biggest heartbreak of my life, through anxiety and depression, through happiness. banks is my safe place ❤️ have seen her 2 times live and i hope i can for the rest of my life. banks has done so much for me without knowing me or my name. i’m so thankful

BANKS: A
ME: ICON
This One gets me every time. Not many artists show actual genuine conviction like Banks does on this song. I'd love to hear an orchestra version loud and clear cause Damn the light shines is amazing. Banks your voice and words helped me change my life and taught me I was capable of protecting my own energy in leaving an extremely toxic relationship. Thank you.
Something about her voice just makes me close my eyes and just vibe
WHERE IS THE MV OF THIS SONG JIL???
I can't wait to see it!
esquecido no churrasco
I fall asleep to this song on repeat lately. It’s straight up *poetry, not even a song, literal poetry* 🔥🙌
This version is better than the studio. I listen to it all day everyday
mesmerizing is the only word that comes to mind when i see her perform her music live. simply mesmerizing ❤
franzi.annasophie b. I’ve seen her live twice (and hopefully more in the future) and it was honestly so life changing each and every time. What an incredible, incredible artist.
Heard this song a thousand times. Still got goosebumps. I love this woman so hard.❤
I got myself in the exact same situation this song describes and it gets me everytime. This version even more. Anyone else?
Exaaaaact same situation, crazy how well she describes it
Gerðr Same and i wish I never met him. I was better off before
@@aussie0981 Exactly, at least we are not alone with this. I hope it will all work out for you!
@@brioche8123 Damn, you were too good for him and to get stuck in such situation. I hope you will recover very soon ❤️
Gerðr it ended in January. I couldn’t imagine feeling so low and by someone I trusted. I feel much better now. I try to avoid anything that reminds me of that situation.
As my love falls to you my heart grows😂❤
Her voice is so intimate, it gives me chills.🖤
Same!
I love this song so much. I must have listened to the album recording a thousand times.
I love how far you've come, from not even being able to face the crowd, to finding your own sound, and OWNING it.. you are such an inspiration to me everyday, and you WRITE MY LIFE!
Oh. My. God. Banks, your man is one of the luckiest guys on the planet 🥵😭💔 beautiful voice, beautiful performer and such a stunning and classy looking lady.
Our love is ta-a-a-Inted!! Taaainted!! Our love our love is taaainted!
These vocals are the best I've ever heard. This woman deserves more recognition.
this performance is flawless. her vocals not only are pitch perfect but her control and how she places everything, her rubato in the chorus, her falsetto switches, the ad libs. phenomenal.
Maybe if I could believe it, I could just stay 🖤
i think i love this song a little bit too much
Eu olhei pra Banks e disse ARTISTA 😍😍
Que bom gosto Sarahhhhhhhh
I've probably listened to the album version of Contaminated upwards of 300 times since I discovered III a month or so ago and now I found the next best thing. Good lord she has the most immaculate vocals I've ever heard.
One word to describe this: infectious. Couldn't be more ecstatic to be tainted with the Banks sickness.
Jill is without a doubt one the artists that gives you all the feels, the highs and the lows as smooth as silk delivered straight to your emotions! Love you girl!!
yup, she only needed 1 take. this is phenomenal !
Here I am again in summer 2024 loving this even more than day 1
(・o・)
Another one of the reasons I love Banks...this right here
Never clicked so fast. Can hardly wait for the E.P.
What EP??

Absolutely easily one of the most beautiful songs ever
Goosebumps from the first note to the last😊
I didn’t know how much I needed this version till now 😭 ❤️❤️
till now tehhehe
Best pop song , love the universe she creates on this song.
There's just something so special about this song. I feel like her, Kevin, and the Wiild don't understand the power this song possesses. Like I wonder did they know they were writing a masterpiece. And both BJ Burton's production and this live band's performance just amplifies it in the best way possible.
I was melting in my bed listening to the beginning, but then the beat came in and I've never sat up faster. Truly fantastic
I can't get enough of her - even after all this years. She's the truest goddess to me.
The lack of color and the contrast of black and white really set the mood. She would fit right in as the intimate close quarters performer in a speakeasy of an old time movie.
That's why quarantine exists, y'all better not get contaminated 😂
BRUH 😂😂
the corana virus
AHAHAHAHAHA putssssssss
Hahahahaha

This performance brought me to the door of my emotions....how it conveys all these feels so intricately yet indepth....unbeaten
Every one of your songs are everything I feel! I’ve been completely shattered by a man who I thought truly wanted me for me. I feel like I can never trust myself again because I was so sure. Now I’m destroyed! Thank you Banks for singing what my heart feels. Your songs bring me the closure I need! Truly you’re an amazing artist!!!
My depression, my pillow, and BANKS 🙌🏿 #thisquarantine
Shout out to a young lady as pure as they come. Using her voice not looks. No stage dancers half naked drawing 🙊attention.🙏 Pure🙏 talent. Bravo. I've had this in my playlist for a while now circled🧭 back needed something 💥real.💯
Every time I hear her songs I just feel like my heartbeat beats at the level of someone in love
One of the most beautiful songs of all time.
This one’s gotten me through some hard times! Incredible.
This song is so heartbreaking. She's underrated
this was my main jam for several weeks straight when it came out and now its my main jam all over again
Banks singlehandedly making quarantined life feel okay 🖤🖤
One of my all time faves. Weaker Girl is right there.
Banks songs are the best therapy
This is even better than the record version! Man, she can sing!
Not only her voice but these lyrics gives me the chills, it's pure poetry!
How can people dislike this?
Rockin the mic as always Banks 🥰🖤
legit ethereal, literally an angel.
Things like this really show talent, and how an artist can truly shine. Well done.
Just, holy shit. I’ve listened to so many of her songs and they never fail to be incredible. Even if the instrumentation or visuals weren’t as good, it wouldn’t matter. Her pure voice is so incredible and gorgeous, she is *so* talented. Keep going girl, you are absolutely amazing!
Why do I cry every time I hear this????
3:34 - 4:00 this piano here omgggg😭😭❤
Favorite Banks Song
She's the G.O.A.T 🙏
I can't believe it's been almost 10 years!!! Still one of my fave female artists, so many memories... They hurt sometimes 😔
Its good to watch her grow! 🪴 That voice drives me crazy in a goosebumps all over kind of way!
So classy.
This is priceless. So fucking good. Even though I've known her and listened to her for years, I'm still blown away by her talent🙌🏻🔥
She sounds SO GOOD here. Really shows off her talent.
My favorite songs are all BANKS songs.
i keep coming back because of her
I love this song. I came to know her music through this song.
She’s everything omgggg
This is easily my favorite song from III, maybe my favorite Banks song period. This a thoroughly refreshing take on an already awesome song.
Nooo why did you do that!! Now I can't tell which version I'm in love with more!!! This is incredible
I’ve been a fan of hers since 2014❤️
Wow wow wow! Speechless! Also 1:33 goosebumps everywhere
