She wants her lover to be obsessed with her and think only of her, making her feel like the only girl in the world.


The chorus of the song, which says “Like I’m the only one that’s in command, ‘Cause I’m the only one who understands” portrays Rihanna's desire to be the one in control of the relationship. She wants to be the one who understands her lover the most, and make him feel like a man by satisfying his needs.

@njnaniong

You should check this following songs by Bebe Rexha:
Pray
Grace
You Can't Stop the girl
Sabotage
I Got You
The Way I Are (ft. Lil Wayne)
Knees
This are not her popular songs but you'll know her when you listen to Meant to Be, I'm A Mess, and Me, Myself and I. She's a type of artist where people know her hits but they don't know her name.

Ok but why does the lyric "So could you help me steal my fav hoodie back from that girl" Slap 🔥

@bunnyv6050

Yeah may be the writer or one of the co-writers was going through a breakup when writing the lyrics x sad!

Because that girl that took her hoodie is more savage and she is requesting help from her pal to go for it!
