Released by: Universal Music Indonesia
Dalam skala 1 hingga 10, bakat Austin Mahone saat ini mungkin sudah berada di angka 7 dengan tingkat popularitas 9. Ini merangkak naik dari zaman 'Say You're Just A Friend' dulu. Tidak berharap stuck di angka yang sama, maka Austin menaikkan levelnya dengan 'Mmm Yeah', dimana Pitbull terlibat bersamanya. And so far, this become his highest peak single in US.
Publik tampak kurang bersahabat dengan single Austin sebelumnya, 'Banga! Banga!'. Dimana Cash Money/Young Money berusaha menyulapnya sebagai salah satu dari mereka. Warna dan ciri hip-hop yang mereka punya terlalu kontras untuk dibawakan oleh remaja ini. Alih-alih sebagai terobosan, ia malah memaksa Austin mundur satu langkah dari pencapaian karakter musik yang tengah ia bangun. Dan datanglah 'Mmm Yeah' sebagai penebusan. Ciri dan coraknya berdasar pada dance-pop, kategori yang perfectly fit untuk Austin.
Maka dari itu, Austin sangat berambisi bersama 'Mmm Yeah'. Konsep video musik untuk single ini berkaca pada karya apik dan unik Jamiroquai di tahun 90-an, 'Virtual Insanity'. Usaha untuk membuatnya legendaris dan ngefek dalam kultur pop. Dalam beberapa saat, Austin memamerkan dance skill-nya yang semakin baik saja. He's majoring the swag. Itu semua membantunya untuk tidak overshadowed oleh Pitbull. Seperti kita tahu, Pitbull kadang lupa akan fungsinya sebagai penggembira dalam single artis lain, sehingga sering merampas moment dan mendominasi lagu. But not this time, Pit. Cause Austin own it.

LYRIC
[Pitbull]
Austin M keep doing your thing
Let these boys keep slipping man
I’m not into gymnastics but I’m into flipping things
I told these women that it’s all about a team,
Jordan and Pippen man
So if you wanna join the team
Now tell me little miss thang
Dalé!
[Austin]
When I saw her
Walking down the street
She looked so fine
I just had to speak
I asked her name
But she turned away
As she walked
All that I can say was
[Chorus]
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
[Austin]
Rock'n'Roll one time, we’ll make it up as we go
I know you feel it cause I mean what I say say say say
We can do whatever, do whatever we want
When she walks past me I say hey, hey, hey…
[Bridge]
So tell me where you’re from, where you wanna go
But she walk pass me like I ain’t said a word
Stood there like man
'cause I don’t usually feel some type of way
But this one hit me hard in some kind of place
Like man
When I saw her
Walking down the street
She looked so fine
I just had to speak
I ask her name
But she turned away
As she walked
All that I can say was
[Chorus]
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah

All that I can say was
six inch heels clicking up down the street
You know she’s coming and then she walks away way way way
I’m a big big deal, a little fun’s all I need
But I can tell she don’t believe what I say say say say say
[Bridge]
So tell me where you’re from, where you wanna go
But she walk pass me like I ain’t said a word
Stood there like man
'cause I don’t usually feel some type of way
But this one hit me hard in some kind of place
Like man
When I saw her
Walking down the street
She looked so fine
I just had to speak
I ask her name
But she turned away
As she walked

[Pitbull]
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
She look so good but she bad bad
You can see that back from the front front
Booty like Kriss Kross, jump jump
Meet me in the middle of the ocean
We can find ourselves and lose our minds, rewind
Wawawawa, play
Find ourselves and lose our minds today
Austin M. and Armando acabando latinos y gringos gozando me entiendes
For those that thought that we would stop
Definitely don’t have a mind to think with, brainless
Most of them broke but they famous
Some got hits but they nameless
But mamita, forget about that
When I see you
All that I can say was
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
Mmm mmm yeah yeah
All that I can say was
