Hey! I know what's right for me
Why do they say that they know what′s right for me?
Hey! I know what's right for me
I know what's right
I know what′s right
I know what′s right for me
I know what's right
I know what′s right
I know what's right for me

I know what′s right for me
I know what's right for me
I know what′s right for me
I know what's right for me
In Tame Impala’s song Beverly Laurel, the artist is challenging the notion that others know what’s best for him. The song starts with the repetition of the question “why do they say that they know what’s right for me?” followed by the confident assertion of “hey! I know what’s right for me.” The lyrics then continue to reaffirm this point by repeating “I know what’s right,” “I know what’s right for me” several times.
This can be interpreted as a message of self-empowerment and the importance of trusting oneself. In a world where there are so many voices telling us what to do, what to think, and how to behave, it’s essential to remember that no one knows us better than we know ourselves. The song invites the audience to be discerning about who they listen to and to trust their own intuition.
Overall, Beverly Laurel by Tame Impala is a powerful reminder to trust oneself and not let others dictate what’s right for us.
