Wat 'N Ander Ook Zegt
André Hazes Lyrics

In André Hazes's song Wat 'N Ander Ook Zegt (Whatever Others Say), he sings about not letting the opinions of others affect him. The lyrics encourage the listener to ignore the criticisms and gossip of those around them, and not to let it bring them down. Hazes expresses that he doesn't care about what others say because he knows himself and his own worth. He sings, "Jij moet weten dat ik mij niet druk kan maken," which translates to "You must know that I can't be bothered." He also acknowledges that these people who criticize others might not have anything else to do, hence "Laat ze maar gaan ze hebben anders niks te doen" which means "Let them go they have nothing else to do."

The second verse emphasizes on keeping calm in the face of fake friends who try to bring you down. Hazes advises to just ignore them and not let their poisonous words get to you. He encourages the listener to stay positive and "blijven lachen," which means to keep smiling. By repeating the chorus twice, he emphasizes the message of not allowing others' opinions to affect one's life.

One possible interpretation of the song's message is that it is a statement against bullying and negative criticism. Hazes encourages people to focus on themselves and not let others bring them down with their negative comments. He emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-respect as a way to counteract harsh and unkind criticism.
