Champagne Champion
Wes Period Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen, the Champagne Champion

Little mama, what you in to
She don't want to do it, but she do it if her friends do
Damn, it's been a minute, boo
Showing a little skin too, that shows what you've been through
Used to have a man but then he gave you up
Damn, so now you don't give a fuck
Can't believe you let me hit it on beach
Swear we did it like we do it every week



Sure you remember me
Used to be a backyard guitar rock star
Wasn't no money in my tip jar
Flipped with this bit that might tell you why
Used to be a follower, now all the homies verified
One weekend, every couple years or so
Your girl starts calling me because I'm looking like the Champagne Champion
Nothing like you'd thought it would be
Come on, yeah

I had a lot to learn
I roll it up, let it burn
I had to wait my turn
Turn it up, up
Who I was before
Is not me anymore

She wouldn't do it for the old me
Nah, nah, but she do it for the Champagne Champion
Champagne Champ
Yeah, she do it for the Champagne Champion
Champagne Champ

Welcome to the weekend
The fifth season
From Motel 6, work up to Four Seasons
Happy for no reason
Well, my foe's leaving
Faux furs and chauffeurs on you four turn squares
Started living more circular
Ah, now I'm stuck on a curvature
A fine ass, resemble a wine glass
Teach you how to roll it up, now welcome to high class
Used to be coach seat, low key
Broke me back then sipping on Cobras and still reserves
Every body knows the high life's the [?]
Every weekend, all year long, man
The homies be calling me because we feeling like the Champagne Champions
Nothing like you thought we'd be, uh, yeah

This life that surrounds us
Turn from silver to gold
But you're about it
How?

[?], what up?
Fifth season, what up?
Man, it's the weekend season
What's up?
What, what
Let's go
Uh, west coast
Yeah, it feel so magical, don't it?
Uh, [?]
Yeah, yeah, uh, uh, uh
Let's go, yeah, yeah
Get your hands up, yo, yo
Uh, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Champagne Champion" by Wes Period begins with him declaring himself as the "Champagne Champion" and then introduces a woman he is interested in. He describes how she is ready to engage in certain activities because her friends do so, while also showcasing her past experiences through her attire. The singer then reveals that he used to be a backyard guitar rockstar but now has become more recognized, as his friends have been "verified." The chorus sings of the difference in the way this woman interacts with the singer now that he has achieved a level of success that he didn't have before, namely, being able to afford champagne. The second verse details how the singer has grown and transformed, using various symbolisms to describe the process. He then questions how one acquires this type of lifestyle, fast-paced, rich, and luxurious.


The song is a commentary on the idea of lifestyle and status. Wes Period questions how our experiences and the people around us form our opinions on such matters. By using different symbols of luxury, he is also exploring the concept of excess- how we, as humans, are wired to aspire towards more than what we have, and to consider what the pinnacle of success might look like. The song provides an interesting commentary on the human psyche and our relationship with our desire for luxury, comfort, and success.
