Just thought I’d tell everybody that according to Nate himself on Instagram, the song is felt in 4/4, 3/4, then 3/8

[ArmandoAbrantes-Ferreira]

This song reminds me a lot of the music from the state of Bahia, Brazil, particularly the musical style "Axé". Black American USA and Black American Brazilian peoples share a lot of common roots! (Americans are those born in continent America).

You know the music is wild when nearly all comments are about the time signature

[asmaitre]

This song is brutal, it blew my mind trying to figure out the time signature. Thanks for all the info in the comments, now I can sleep peacefully.

4/4 to 9/8 back to 4/4... Nate... you truly are a beast bro

[TrevWILL]

This time signature is off the the charts!!!

[soufienkhalfaoui]

Timeless groove. Not everyday and everyone groove. Sheesh man...

[johnalfredkonig]

I don't know what to say, I just keep playing it

[avecailes]

Oh my god ... this should become a jazz or funk standard!!! :))))

[AWSMcube]

im trying to learn the basics of music theory so i hopped on a call with a couple of my music buddies, they taught me about time signature and for my first assignment i was supposed to figure out this song's time signature

[LudwigSC]

First time I'm hearing this band. Great stuff. I'm hearing some EW&F.

[andreadaniel]

Woke up with this song in my head. 👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

[pisceslove]

Omg this song is sick!! Gotta get this.

[isaacraz]

7/4 +3/8? (in other words "feeling" 2 measures of 4/4 with the last quarter note divided into two dotted 8ths instead of 16ths) thoughts?

[milesleblanc]

This song is brilliant mathematically and musically. Two bars of 6/8 plus a bar of five equals 17/8

[simonstuart]

its 17/8 funk, two bar cycle, check out andrew hutchings drums for the chart .

[realatomizer]

Some people need coffee in the morning. Some need their sigaret. I need Skip Step every day.

[odedfried-gaon]

Fantastic!

First off, big fan of Nate Smith, but is it just me or does this song begin or sounds just a bit like Talking Heads- Once in a Lifetime?

[Idanbo]

Its kinda 17/8 that is played as 7/4 and 3/8.
