Lizzo, Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Peter Svensson đź’ˇ Core Meaning & Lyrics
Lizzo grapples with an internal dilemma in the opening lines: "How am I supposed to love somebody else / When I don't like myself?"
The song explores the vulnerability of opening up to a new relationship when you are still actively working on self-love.
The music video serves as a direct narrative sequel to her smash hit "Truth Hurts".
It opens with Lizzo walking down the aisle to marry herself. Overwhelmed by the commitment and lack of self-assurance, she runs away from the ceremony, drives off, and hallucinates a handsome motorcyclist (a fun nod to classic 90s music videos) before partying it out with her friends.
