The chorus emphasizes Shygirl's confidence and power, as she declares herself "too hot for the night" but also acknowledges the possibility that she might do something unexpected. This duality in her attitude highlights the tensions that can arise from being a confident and self-expressive person in a society that often tries to limit or control those qualities.
The outro adds to this idea of non-conformity and individuality, encouraging listeners to "go lit" and "go off" without worrying about the judgments of others. Overall, "Watch" celebrates individuality and the power of self-expression, while also acknowledging the risks and challenges that come with being true to oneself.

Arca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm loose, can't even act right
Two shots and a guy my height
Real talk, that's rude
I forget you don't know that I move like this
Lowkey, real shady
Girl like me on a flex daily
When I'm in my mind
Do I look bad breed
'Cause I ain't got time
No feelings, no exclusive
Your chick knows
I come through ruthless
Come through with your chest
Don't gas
You a baddy doing bits
Or you wet like the rest?
Too hot for the night
I'm loose, can't even act right
Two shots and a guy my height
Real talk, that's rude
I forget you don't know that I move like this
Lowkey, real shady
Girl like me on a flex daily
It's a lot, it's a lot
When I know my mind
Do I look bad breed
'Cause I ain't got time
No feelings, no exclusive
Your chick knows
I come through ruthless
Come through with your chest
Don't gas
You a baddy doing bits
Or you wet like the rest?
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I-I'm too hot but I might
But, but, I might
I'm, I'm
Lift off
Just, just, just, just, just
