All About That Bass
Ali brustovski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because you know I'm all about that bass,
'bout that bass no treble,
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass

Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two
but I can shake it, shake it like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
and all the right junk in all the right places

I see the magazines working that Photoshop
We know that sh*t ain't real
come on now, make it stop
If you got beauty beauty just rise 'em up
'Cause every inch of you is perfect
from the bottom to the top

Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size
she says, boy like a little more booty to hold at night
You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll,
So, if that's what's you're into
Then go ahead and move along

Because you know I'm all about that bass,
'bout that bass no treble,
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass

I'm bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell then skinny b*tches, Hey
No, I'm just playing I know you think, you're fat,
but I'm here to tell you
every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size
she says, boy like a little more booty to hold at night
You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll,
So, if that's what's you're into
Then go ahead and move along

Because you know I'm all about that bass,
'bout that bass no treble,
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble




I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble
I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass

Overall Meaning

The song “All about that bass” by Ali Brustovski is a body-positive anthem celebrating women of all shapes and sizes. The lyrics are a direct response to the unrealistic beauty standards set by the media and men. The main message conveyed in the song is that a woman’s value should not be determined by her size or shape, and that all body types should be celebrated equally.


The repetition of the phrase “'bout that bass, 'bout that bass no treble” throughout the chorus is a clever reference to the bass-heavy beat of the song. The phrase is also used as a metaphor for women who have curves, which are often referred to as “big bottoms” or “thick thighs” in popular culture. By repeating this phrase, Brustovski is emphasizing that she is proud of her curves and is not interested in conforming to society’s narrow beauty standards.


The line “I see the magazines working that Photoshop / We know that sh*t ain't real / come on now, make it stop” is a commentary on the rampant use of Photoshop in the media industry. By calling out this practice, Brustovski is exposing the harmful effects it has on women’s self-esteem and body image. She is encouraging women to embrace their natural beauty and to reject the idealized images that are forced upon them by the media.


Overall, “All about that bass” is a fun and empowering song that promotes body positivity and self-love. It is a powerful reminder that women of all sizes and shapes are beautiful and deserving of love and respect.
