"Milkshake" là ca khúc thứ ba trích từ album phòng thu thứ ba "Tasty" do nữ ca sĩ người Mỹ Kelis thể hiện. Đây cũng là đĩa đơn mở đường cho album lần này của cô. Thuộc thể loại R&B và Dance Pop bắt tai, bài hát khám phá về sự hấp dẫn, tự tin và trao quyền, sử dụng ẩn dụ về một ly sữa lắc để thể hiện sức hấp dẫn độc đáo của nữ ca sĩ, thu hút sự chú ý của người khác, đặc biệt là nam giới.
Nữ ca sĩ từng tâm sự với tạp chí Blues & Soul rằng: "Với tôi, bản thân ly sữa lắc đã đại diện cho bản chất của người phụ nữ. Đó là điều khiến đàn ông bị thu hút ở phụ nữ và là điều phân biệt giới tính này với giới tính kia." Cô cũng khuyên mọi người không nên suy nghĩ quá nhiều về bài hát: "Nó hơi táo bạo - đừng quá nghiêm túc - một kiểu giai điệu vui tươi, du dương."
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
I know you want it
The thing that makes me
What the guys go crazy for
They lose their minds
The way I wind
I think it's time
La-la, la-la, la
Warm it up
La-la, la-la, la
The boys are waiting
La-la, la-la, la
Warm it up
La-la, la-la, la
The boys are waiting
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
I can see you're on it
You want me to teach the
Techniques that freaks these boys
It can't be bought
Just know, thieves get caught
Watch if you're smart
La-la, la-la, la
Warm it up
La-la, la-la, la
The boys are waiting
La-la, la-la, la
Warm it up
La-la, la-la, la
The boys are waiting
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
Oh, once you get involved
Everyone will look this way, so
You must maintain your charm
Same time, maintain your halo
Just get the perfect blend
Plus what you have within
Then next his eyes'll squint
Then he's picked up your scent
La-la, la-la, la
Warm it up
La-la, la-la, la
The boys are waiting
La-la, la-la, la
Warm it up
La-la, la-la, la
The boys are waiting

And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
