I Love Me
Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling me who I'm supposed to be
Way too good at camouflage
Can't see what I am
I just see what I'm not
I'm guilty 'bout everything that I eat
(Every single bit)
Feeling myself is a felony
Jedi level sabotage
Voices in my head make up my entourage
'Cause I'm a black belt when I'm beating up on myself
But I'm an expert at giving love to somebody else
I, me, myself and
I, don't see eye to
Eye, me, myself and
I
Oh, why do I compare myself to everyone?
And I always got my finger on the self destruct
I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why am I always looking for a ride or die?
'Cause mine's the only heart I'm gonna have for life
After all the times I went and fucked it up
(All the times I went and fucked it up)
I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I wonder when I love me is enough
I wonder when I love me is enough
Haters that live on the internet
Live in my head, should be paying rent
I'm way too good at listening
All these comments fucking up my energy
'Cause I'm a black belt when I'm beating up on myself
But I'm an expert at giving love to somebody else
I, me, myself and
I, don't see eye to
Eye, me, myself and
I
Oh, why do I compare myself to everyone?
And I always got my finger on the self destruct
I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why am I always looking for a ride or die?
'Cause mine's the only heart I'm gonna have for life
After all the times I went and fucked it up
(All the times I went and fucked it up)
I wonder when I love me is enough (is enough)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I wonder when I love me is enough
I wonder when I love me is enough
I'm my own worst critic
Talk a whole lot of shit
But I'm a ten out of ten
Even when I forget
I-I-I-I
(I'm a ten out of ten, don't you ever forget it)
I'm my own worst critic
Talk a whole lot of shit
But I'm a ten out of ten
Even when I forget
I-I-I-I
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I wonder when I love me is enough
I wonder when I love me is enough
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I wonder when I love me is enough
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
The song "I Love Me" by Demi Lovato is an empowering anthem about self-love and self-acceptance. The lyrics tell the story of someone who struggles with comparison, self-doubt, and self-criticism, but ultimately learns to love and accept themselves. The opening lines about flipping through magazines and trying to live up to societal expectations show the pressure that many people feel to fit a certain mold. Lovato then describes how she is "way too good at camouflage" and "can't see what I am," suggesting a lack of self-awareness and clarity. She also expresses guilt and shame about her eating habits, showing the pervasive influence of diet culture on women's self-esteem.
The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of self-love and the struggle to achieve it: "Oh, why do I compare myself to everyone? And I always got my finger on the self-destruct. I wonder when I love me is enough." Lovato acknowledges that self-love is a process and that it can be difficult to unlearn negative thought patterns and destructive behaviors. The bridge of the song addresses the impact of social media and online criticism on mental health, with Lovato referring to "haters that live on the internet" and how their comments can "fuck up my energy." However, she ultimately triumphs over these negative influences by recognizing her own worth and celebrating herself as a "ten out of ten."
Overall, "I Love Me" is a powerful message of self-acceptance and resilience. The lyrics speak to the struggle of learning to love oneself in a world that often tells us we're not enough. By the end of the song, Lovato reminds listeners that they are worthy of love and should never forget it.

Realmente se aceitar como parte do que queremos SER e ALCANÇAR sem desperdícios de tempo com coisas das quais não nos faram melhores. Vejo que nessa fase em que ela se encontra tenha sido necessário deixar para trás situações e pessoas que são toxicas, que sempre buscam nos envenenar nos destruir. Ha pessoas que nos tiram do fundo do poço com um único olhar e outras que nos oferecem as duas mãos porem nuncas nos tiram de la apenas querem ter a certeza de não sairemos do poço.
Por isso não devemos ter medo de deixar pessoas para trás por mais que seja doloroso, as vezes se perde para ganhar.
Que DEUS nos guarde das pessoas e situações toxicas...
Sucesso DEMI, que você seja sabia, que esteja em paz consigo mesma e INTIMA a DEUS SEMPRE.
