Lyrics

[Chorus]
Yeah, love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it’s about me, ’bout me
Now you wanna be around me, ’round me
‘Cause I love myself, I’m livin’ my best life
Love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it’s about me, ’bout me
Now you wanna be around me, ’round me
‘Cause I love myself, I’m livin’ my best life

[Verse 1]
I got the best suites, I got the best sheet
I got the best seats, best shoes on my feet
Pictures of my body cause a stampede, ayy
If you cut me, success I bleed
If you don’t know, I’m a queen (Queen)
Lovin’ myself like a dream (Dream)
Me (Me), a body
I body everybody in the party

[Chorus]
Yeah, love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it’s about me, ’bout me
Now you wanna be around me, ’round me
‘Cause I love myself, I’m livin’ my best life
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Suddenly it’s about me, ’bout me
Now you wanna be around me, ’round me
‘Cause I love myself, I’m livin’ my best life

[Post-Chorus]
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
Popular, I’m popular
I’m really, really popular
Popular, I’m popular
I’m really, really popular (Pop, pop)

[Verse 2]
Gold and curly, brown and worldly
Packed in a 5’5″ body
Give me the mic and I slay somebody
I hope you’re all gonna be ready
‘Cause I’m proper gonna pop it
Make you go cop it
You can never stop it, people wanna tap it, tap it
When I talk, I rap it, all of them are puppet
One in a billion, I guess you got lucky

[Chorus]
Yeah, love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it’s about me, ’bout me
Now you wanna be around me, ’round me
‘Cause I love myself, I’m livin’ my best life
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Suddenly it’s about me, ’bout me
Now you wanna be around me, ’round me
‘Cause I love myself, I’m livin’ my best life

[Post-Chorus]
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)

[Bridge]
Yeah, popular, I’m hot
Can’t stop myself, oh God
I top the chart
Takin’ over the spot
It’s hard, it’s hard
It’s really, really hard
A star, a star
I’m popular, I’m hot

[Refrain]
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
[Outro]
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
