The singer is talking about Arab women, a subject that’s extremely important to her. Aside from her compelling voice and dedication to showcasing her cultural heritage through the range of pop music that she creates, the 26-year-old singer is noted for challenging the way that Arab women are perceived throughout the world.

“When people anywhere hear the words ‘Arab woman,’ they have one idea in their minds — you can Google it and you’ll see what that image is,” she says with a laugh, although she is clearly not amused. “I’ve never felt represented in that. Arab women are multifaceted, we come in variety, we come from different faiths, we’re a diverse group of human beings.

Overall Meaning

The song "Playground" by Abir speaks of a carefree attitude and a childlike sense of playfulness in the face of adult life's overwhelming responsibilities. Abir starts by referencing a long night and hanging her clothes to dry, indicating a sense of fatigue and perhaps even an allusion to harsh life circumstances. The line "Holdin' all my cards now" can be interpreted as a declaration of her taking control of her life and making her own decisions, while "Memories unsafe, but I like it that way" suggests that Abir is willing to take risks and live in the present moment despite the dangers.

Throughout the song, Abir emphasizes the importance of her "playground," a metaphorical place where she and her friends can let go of societal pressures and expectations. She invites the listener to join her in this space, declaring that they "don't care 'bout if you're poppin', if you're cakin', if you're smokin' and you're faded." This line can be seen as a message of acceptance and inclusivity, encouraging people to embrace their true selves without fear of judgment.

The chorus repeats the phrase "You know it's a feelin', Yo, and I'm feelin' it," which can be interpreted as a declaration of the rush of adrenaline and the excitement of being alive. The joy and excitement portrayed in this song encourage listeners to embrace their inner child and find joy in the simple things in life, even amidst difficult circumstances.

Hangin' all my clothes to dry
내 모든 옷들을 걸어서 말렸어
It's been a long night
긴 밤이었지
Ran up all the fuel inside, yeah
안에 있는 연료를 모두 다 써버렸어, yeah
Holdin' all my cards now
지금 나의 모든 카드를 들고 있어
For once did its charge now
우선 지금 그것을 충전했어
Memories unsafe
기억들이 안전하지 못하겠지만
But I like it that way
나는 그런 방식을 좋아해

Hair blowin' in the wind
머리카락을 바람에 날려
Feelin' my innocence
나의 순수함을 느끼면서
'Cause I got to, 'cause I want to
그래야하니까, 내가 하고싶으니까
Play around
놀아나자
Takin' my blessings in
나의 축복을 빌어
Feelin' my confidence
나의 자신감을 느끼면서
'Cause I got to, 'cause I want to
그래야하니까, 내가 하고싶으니까
Stay around
떠나지 마

You know it's a feelin'
너도 느낌 알잖아
Yo, and I'm feelin' it, it, it
그래, 그리고 나도 그걸 느끼고 있어 ×4

If you're cakin',
바람을 피워도,
if you're smokin'
마약을 해도,
and you're faded
점점 희미해져도 우리는 신경쓰지 않아
Stay down, just stay down
머물러, 계속 머물러도 돼
