I'm The One
Asia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You always get the texts but never get the message
Than you be going out and you acting reckless
I'm just tryna fall in love and get affection
But you just tryna make love than switch to the next chick
You fool me plus a hundred girls into thinking we're your charm
But than you had another one inside of your arms
I was patient for you, until you led me on
And than you had me waiting, but all that you do is wrong
(But all that you do is wrong)
But now I'm over you, and I am on one
It's hot girl summer but you still could never get some
I might just call you out, and then go ransom
Other girls don't waste your time, you are welcome
Please, save your time, because he's mister worldwide
Running from city to city, in the 305
A new click, a new chick, than onto the next pick
Said that you always loyal but never want a relationship
But now I'm over you, and I am on one
It's hot girl summer but you still could never get some
I might just call you out, and then go ransom
Other girls don't waste your time, you are welcome
And now I'm on one, popping off on the 'gram like I am Jack Harlow
While you got a million girls up inside of your phone, on the low, it's crazy tho
How I thought of it now, that I was doing charity work for someone I'm about to expose
Couldn't keep my name out of your mouth, now that's some fan behavior
Said that you loved me but than went and made out with her
But it's okay because now I am just stunting on you
I mind my own business but got all of these chickens tryna hop in my coupe
But now I'm over you, and I am on one
It's hot girl summer but you still could never get some
I might just call you out, and then go ransom
Other girls don't waste your time, you are welcome
Cause I am on one
(But now I'm over you, and I am on one
It's hot girl summer but you still could never get some




I might just call you out, and then go ransom
Other girls don't waste your time, you are welcome)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asia's song "I" are about a woman who was looking for a relationship, but found herself being used by a man who was only interested in taking advantage of her. The man would send her texts, but never really meant them, and would go out and act recklessly. The woman was looking for love and affection, but the man was only interested in making love and moving on to the next woman. The woman was patient with the man, but he led her on until she realized that all he did was wrong. Now, she is over him and living her best life during the hot girl summer while warning other women not to waste their time with the man.


The lyrics in the song are relatable to anyone who has been used or misled in a relationship. The woman in the story is strong and empowered, and she is not afraid to speak her mind and warn others about the man's true nature. She is confident in herself and her ability to move on from someone who was not treating her right. The song is an anthem for anyone who has been through a similar experience and has come out the other side stronger and more resilient.

Eddie was so far ahead of the times with his playing. There's people out there now, that can't do what he did here in the late 70s.. Greatest of all Time!!

Golden State Municipal

Jimi Hendrix AND Eddy were asked (at different times, of course) how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world. They both said the same thing - "How should I know, go ask Roy Clark."

Gabriel Scott

You stole the words right out of my mouth, 100% correct

Mike Goldstein

Edward is unparalleled in any time or genre. He was 50-70 years ahead of his time

Old guitar guy

Ive been playing for 41 years, i CAN play this song, but your CORRECT, it feels like somethings is missing. His rythym is unmatchable.

Mike Goldstein

@Old guitar guy that's the main thing. People may be able to play his stuff. Eddie's stuff is always more difficult to play than Clapton or Hendrix stuff. But Ed's feel, attack, swing, and unholy rythem / ability to go rythem to lead and back is just unfair. No one who plays his stuff sounds anything remotely close to his stuff...

VH at their best.

Eddie's shuffle "feel" in this track, along with the 2 main solos are absolutely off the friggin' charts.

Robert Serino

Eddie Van Halen - just unreal. There is/was no one like him. Van Halen 1 was a killer album. One of the best debut albums of all time

CentralCalConrad

When Eddie hit the scene, every aspiring rock guitar player wanted to be like him, or they wanted to BE him. Then every guitar manufacturer tried to emulate the guitar that Eddie created in his garage. He changed the complete landscape.

classic life

Arguably the ultimate Van Halen song, from undoubtedly the best Van Halen record, their debut. True memory: I'm 9, I'm listening to this, holding up the big vinyl record cover, looking at the man in the upper left, saying to myself, "I want to be him." RIP EVH. And you're right Asia, he was the best rock guitar player.
