"Sex Sounds" is a song by American rapper Lil Tjay from his debut studio album True 2 Myself (2019). It was produced by Zay Love.
"Sex Sounds" is a pop-leaning song with a piano instrumental.[1]
The song was met with negative reception from music critics. Reviewing True 2 Myself for Pitchfork, Alphonse Pierre stated "The album format gives Tjay a little room to stretch, something that's nearly impossible when he's only releasing one single a month. Some experiments work, like the traditional R&B ballad 'Mixed Emotions.' The 'BET Uncut' slow jam 'Sex Sounds,' meanwhile, is way too much: Hearing him sing 'The way you kiss me when I'm stroking deep inside' is like finding porn in your little brother's internet history."[2] M.T. Richards of Consequence of Sound criticized that Lil Tjay "seems so unsure of himself" on the song, which he also described as "remedial".[3] Maxwell Cavaseno of HotNewHipHop commented, "When he does go into soft lover-man mode on 'Sex Sounds' it's both the slowest and perhaps the lowest point of the album."[4]
An official music video was released on April 8, 2020. It shows Lil Tjay spending time with his female lover in the bedroom and the tropics, including at the beach, in a rainforest, [5] and traveling through paths shaded by palm trees. The clip features appearances of cabana beds.
