This is the first collaboration between Shawn and BROCKHAMPTON. Fans and BROCKHAMPTON member Kevin Abstract alike have been anticipating the collaboration since Kevin mentioned Shawn in one of their biggest hits, “STAR” from their critically acclaimed 2017 album SATURATION. In the song, he raps:
"I don’t fuck with no white boys unless that nigga Shawn Mendes"
A snippet of the song was first leaked in December 2020, containing a portion of Rocky’s verse. Lyrics from Flexy’s verse, as well as the song title, were accidentally revealed by HK in an Instagram live with Kevin Abstract on February 23, 2021.
The music video features Dominic Fike and Lil Nas X as lovers driving into a forest. Later, they take a hallucinatory stroll through the forest. The video ends with the lovers embracing each other.
COUNT ON ME
BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like you barely even, listen
You look so different to me
It's like you barely even know me
You was missin' from me
Swear I'm tired of feelin' lonely
Like Field Mob song, Trill Mob boy
She been MIA for too long, so far
Now catch the compensation, change the conversation
Dollars all I'm chasin', ain't talkin' money? Fuck is you sayin'?
I'm non-comprehensive, money finish sentences
No, I ain't sensitive, nigga, just highly offended
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
I know that it'll be okay
You ain't even need no money, you can count on me
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
I know that it'll be okay
You ain't even need no money, you can count on me
Let's not fight the funk, she say I pour too much in my cup
Fuck the opposition, plus I'm still ridin' with it tucked
They say I should change the way I'm livin' but just can't get enough
Still be quick to up that chopper on his block and hit 'em up
My lil' brothers don't come home 'til November, I told 'em, "We gon' live it up"
Can't do shit but pray for J Ron 'cause that nigga don't gave a fuck
Not at all, nigga, had my back against the wall, nigga
Mama told me I'd see it all, nigga
Yeah, who love you at your lowest of lows? I know, I mean
I'm in the backyard thinkin' I need, that smoke puffing outta my teeth
I'm good, I got my green, sittin' back sippin' ocean breeze
I don't got it, baby, ask them boys, all that hating turn to white noise
Tryna get red carpet fly, I don't flex my life, I don't lie
Treat life like I might die, don't like myself sometimes
But I bet that come with time, ever feel like ya head got screws?
A little bit loose, goddamn, give a fuck if I lose
Ain't no fool, he got deja vu
I'm the man, I'm the dog, got juice
Just know I fucked up too
Talk like you got it figured it out and I wish I did too
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
I know that it'll be okay
You ain't even need no money, you can count on me
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us
I know that it'll be okay
You ain't even need no money, you can count on me
Count on me
Count on me
In BROCKHAMPTON's song "Count on Me," the group touches on themes of loneliness, loyalty, and perseverance. The opening lines, "You look so different to me / It's like you barely even know me" suggest a sense of disconnect with someone who was once familiar. The line "Swear I'm tired of feelin' lonely" reinforces this feeling of isolation. However, the song affirms that no matter what happens, everything will be okay. The chorus becomes a source of comfort, with the repeated lines "It'll be okay, no matter what they say about us / You ain't even need no money, you can count on me."
The later verses touch on the struggles of life, with lines like "Ever feel like ya head got screws? / A little bit loose, goddamn, give a fuck if I lose." However, even in the midst of these struggles, the song emphasizes the importance of loyalty and being there for someone, with lines like "Who love you at your lowest of lows?...You ain't even need no money, you can count on me."
Overall, "Count on Me" is a powerful song that speaks to the human experience of isolation and the importance of human connection. It offers a message of hope and perseverance in the face of struggle.
