Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody's perfect
I got my flaws, but man, I'm gorgeous (man, I'm gorgeous)
He keeps on calling 'cause I'm worth it (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Keep him in check, I make him earn it, ooh, ooh
In my past
Let everybody tell me who I am (ooh, ooh, ooh)
But now I understand
That if I'm gonna love someone (one)
I'm just gonna love myself (self)
I already know I'm fabulous
I don't need no one else (no one else)
Say yes I'm gonna love my curves (curves)
And yes I'm gonna love my scars (scars)
And I'ma be the only one (one)
Who's never gonna break my heart
I woke up feelin' fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
Don't wait on me, I'm fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
I woke up feelin' fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
Don't wait on me, I'm fabulous, hey (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
I know my purpose
Yeah they can talk but I don't notice (I don't notice)
They only see what's on the surface (ooh, ooh, ooh)
What's underneath should make 'em nervous (yeah)
In my past
I put my heart in someone else's hands (else's hands)
Let everybody tell me who I am (ooh, ooh, ooh, hmm, hmm)
But now I understand
That if I'm gonna love someone (one)
I'm just gonna love myself (self)
I already know I'm fabulous
I don't need no one else (no one else)
Say yes I'm gonna love my curves (curves)
And yes I'm gonna love my scars (scars)
And I'ma be the only one (one)
Who's never gonna break my heart
I woke up feelin' fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
I woke up feelin' fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
I woke up feelin' fabulous, yeah (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
Don't wait on me, I'm fabulous, yeah (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
I woke up feelin' fabulous
I'm fabulous, I'm fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
Don't wait on me, I'm fabulous, wait on me, no (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
I woke up feelin' fabulous (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
Don't wait on me, I'm fabulous, yeah (hey sister, go sister, oh sister, woah)
Ally Brooke's song "Fabulous" is a powerful self-love anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their flaws and celebrate their uniqueness. The lyrics speak to the importance of loving oneself before entering into a relationship with another person, and not allowing external opinions to define one's identity. Brooke sings about her journey towards self-acceptance and understanding, acknowledging the difficulties she faced in the past when she put her heart in someone else's hands and let others tell her who she was. However, she has now come to love and appreciate herself, including her curves and scars, and recognizes that she doesn't need anyone else to validate her worth.
The repetition of "I woke up feelin' fabulous" in the chorus reinforces this message of self-love and confidence, and the upbeat tempo and catchy melody make the song an empowering anthem for anyone who has ever struggled with self-doubt or insecurity. Brooke's powerhouse vocals and the energetic production add to the overall uplifting feeling of the track, making it a standout on her debut album.
