Bea’s cloaked self-love and positivity under a seemingly brash title/topic in songs before, like her recent single “S.L.U.T.,” revealed as an acronym for “sweet little unforgettable thing.”
The song originally leaked on February 6th, a little over 2 weeks from the album’s release. It was later confirmed to have a spot on the tracklist on February 18th through Instagram.
Motherlove
Bea Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you ever want is to fuck with me
But I don't ever have any fun
'Cause you don't even know when I'm coming clean
You're gonna run and tell all your bros
All the dirty things that you do to me
It's kinda funny, they'll never know
That you're only doing 'em in your dreams (hey)
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (hey, hey)
You're desperate and full of shit, boy, I can tell (hey, hey)
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (hey, hey)
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
(La la la la la) I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
All I know is if you were here
We would have to do what you like to do
But I'ma do what I like, I'ma do it just right
And I'll do it better than you
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (hey, hey)
You're desperate and full of shit, boy, I can tell (hey, hey)
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (hey, hey)
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
(La la la la la) I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
Sometimes, I can't help it, but I want you badly
Even though you never had me
And I, I realize that the only time that we get close
Is when you wanna fuck me over
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (hey, hey)
You're desperate and full of shit, boy, I can tell
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (else, oh)
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
(La la la la la) I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself, oh
In "Motherlove," Bea Miller sings about a toxic relationship with someone who only wants to use her for physical pleasure. She acknowledges that this person will talk about the things they do together to their friends, but she knows deep down that he only fantasizes about it. Miller is aware of the other person's true intentions and does not want to be bothered unless they genuinely care for her. She prefers to spend time with herself and take care of her own needs, rather than being in a situation that makes her uncomfortable. Despite her attraction to this person, she realizes that the only reason they get close is for him to hurt her.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of self-love and prioritizing one's happiness over a toxic relationship. Miller refuses to be used and valued only for physical pleasure. She chooses to take care of herself instead of allowing someone to hurt her emotionally. The song sends a message that it is better to be alone and take care of oneself than to be in a harmful relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I know why you're hittin' me up
I understand your intentions for reaching out to me
All you ever want is to fuck with me
All you desire is to play mind games with me
But I don't ever have any fun
Your actions don't make me happy
'Cause you don't even know when I'm coming clean
You can't recognize when I'm being truthful with you
You're gonna run and tell all your bros
You will gossip about me to your friends
All the dirty things that you do to me
You will share inappropriate activities that you imagine doing with me
It's kinda funny, they'll never know
It's amusing how your friends are unaware of the lies you tell them about me
That you're only doing 'em in your dreams (hey)
You're just imagining these things, and they aren't happening in reality
Don't call me just because you have nobody else (hey, hey)
I won't talk to you just because you have no one else to talk to
You're desperate and full of shit, boy, I can tell (hey, hey)
I realize that you are in dire need and that you are lying to me
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
I prefer to spend my time relaxing and pampering myself
All I know is if you were here
I acknowledge that if you were present
We would have to do what you like to do
I'm aware that we would have to involve in activities that please you
But I'ma do what I like, I'ma do it just right
Instead, I will do what I want to do and do it perfectly
And I'll do it better than you
I will do it excellently, surpassing your skills
Sometimes, I can't help it, but I want you badly
At times, despite knowing your true nature, I have the urge to be with you intensely
Even though you never had me
Though we never had any physical or emotional relationship
And I, I realize that the only time that we get close
I understand that we only become closer
Is when you wanna fuck me over
When you have intentions to deceive or harm me

I know why you’re hittin me up
All you ever want is to fuck with me
But I don’t ever have any fun
Cause you don’t even know when I’m coming clean
You run around and tell all your bros
All the dirty things that you do to me
It’s kinda funny they’ll never know
That you’re only doin to me in dreams
Don’t call me just because you have nobody else
You’re desperate and full of shit, boy I can tell
Don’t call me just because you have nobody else
I’d rather lay in bed and learn to love myself
All I know is if you were here
We would have to do what you like to do
But imma do what I like, imma do it just right and I’ll do it better than you
Don’t call me just because you have nobody else
You’re desperate and full of shit, boy I can tell
Don’t call me just because you have nobody else
I’d rather lay in bed and learn to love myself
Sometimes, I can’t help it but I want you badly even though you’d never have me
At night, I realize,
That the only time that we get closers when you want to fuck me over
Don’t call me just because you have nobody else
You’re desperate and full of shit, boy I can tell
Don’t call me just because you have nobody else
I’d rather lay in bed and learn to love myself

And I'll do it better than you
Don't call me just because you have nobody else
You're desperate and full of shit, boy, I can tell
Don't call me just because you have nobody else
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
Sometimes
I can't help it but I want you badly
Even though you've never had me
And I, I realize
That the only time that we get closer
Is when you want to fuck me over
Don't call me just because you have nobody else
You're desperate and full of shit, boy, I can tell
Don't call me just because you have nobody else
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la
I'd rather lay in bed and motherlove myself.
