What is Anthony Bonnette's "Smooth Operator" about?
"Smooth Operator" is a fun, upbeat dancehall song honoring people who naturally exude cool confidence and charisma. It paints vivid pictures of retro Texas cool with Cadillacs, boots, and smooth moves.
“Bonnette stated, “We really tried to find a 1971 Cadillac convertible to feature in a concept video, but unfortunately, we couldn’t locate one. Instead, we went with a lyric video because we loved the image created to represent this single with the eight-track.”
He adds: “I just want to be brave and honest enough to make music my people will be proud of. If I can do that, then I think that will be enough.”
What inspired Anthony Bonnette's "Smooth Operator" song?
The track was inspired by the idea of paying homage to naturally cool people. The chorus came together quickly once Anthony landed on the line about doing it smoother than everyone else, resulting in a high-energy Texas dancehall anthem.

Lyrics:
"I’m a Smooth Operator for sure
Heads turn when I walk into a room
Tight jeans and rattlesnake boots
They whisper when I walk into the room
Girls are gonna sigh when I walk by
I’m a Smooth Operator
I drive a Cadillac ‘71
Believe me when I say that thing’ll run
I used to run with a young cat crowd
I out ran every mustang in this town
Now I drive slow brother you better know
I’m a Smooth Operator
I’m in the Cadillac laid back
Eight track playin’ I’m Stayin’ Alive
All the ladies that I see
Askin’ me if they can go for a ride
I take’em once around the block
Drop’em off can I call you later
Smooth Operator
I had a girly down in New Orleans
Wanted to be my little cajun queen
If you’ll stop that runnin’ ‘round she said
Might let you into my heart or maybe in my bed
I said alright and later on that night
I was gone
Smooth Operator …”
