Anitta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're packing your bags up for good
I'm not gonna stand in your way
Baby, I'd cry if I could, but
I keep faking love
I keep faking love with you
I been faking love
I been faking love, it's true
Now we breaking up
Now we breaking up, boo-hoo
But I been faking love
I been faking love with you
Boy, bye, thought I was a fool, nice try
Need a invoice for my time
You done killed my vibe, thinkin' I'm a ride or die
Matter of fact, click-clack, bye
They know why
Ain't no one surprised I'm in these streets
Let me live my life
Throw a party when you leave, leave, leave
Hey, Anitta, we're the divas
With a 401k and a Visa
And she bonita, I wanna meet her
Can you balance work and pleasure like a libra?
I'm at Ipanema with a couple bad bitches (yeah)
Tannin' topless and we takin' mad pictures (uh-huh)
Fragile ego, now you gotta gas niggas
Faking love, I need somethin' that's realer
Feel like I'm running out of ways to say (say)
That I ain't feeling any type of way about you
Keep getting caught up when your hands on me
Like ooh, I want it (I want it), I got it (I got it)
Ain't sorry, but I got
All I'm needin', all I need
I'll be leaving, I'll be gone (gone)
Gone
Do as I please, oh, baby
It's too easy to let you go
So (yeah)
I keep faking love
I keep faking love with you
I been faking love
I been faking love, it's true
Now we breaking up
Now we breaking up, boo-hoo
But I been faking love
I been faking love with you
I been faking love with you
I keep faking love (yeah, yeah)
I keep faking love with you (yeah, yeah)
I been faking love (ha)
I been faking love, it's true (oh)
Now we breaking up (breaking up)
Now we breaking up, boo-hoo
But I been faking love
I been faking love with you
The lyrics to Anitta Saweetie's song "Faking Love" talk about a failed relationship. The singer is acknowledging that her partner is leaving her, and she's not going to stop him because he's made up his mind. She admits that throughout their relationship, she has been faking love, and she can't pretend anymore. She has been trying to convince herself and her partner that everything was fine, but in reality, she knew it wasn't. She even confesses that she cries, but it's not enough to keep him by her side.
The song also highlights the idea that the singer is not going to cry over someone who wasn't worth her time in the first place. She says that she's in these streets, living her life, and throwing a party when he leaves. Saweetie's rap verse in the second verse of the song talks about being an independent woman with her own career and money. She questions whether Anitta can balance work and pleasure like a Libra, which is an astrological sign known to seek harmony and balance in life. The song concludes with the singer repeating that she has been faking love, but now they are breaking up, and she doesn't care because it's too easy to let him go.
Overall, "Faking Love" is an empowering breakup song that communicates the idea that it's better to be alone than to be in a relationship that's not real or genuine. It's about taking control of your life and being confident in your decisions.
