Open Wide
Big Sean Calvin Harris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh God
Whoa

Lookin' at your last text
Damn did you even really mean it?
Did you even look through it, did you even read it?
I been breakin' up with girls since I was 15
It's the only thing that hasn't got easier
A rubber is the only thing that ever came between us
God damn, now look at everything in between us
I mean I'm sayin' I got more liquor
More ladies, more drugs and no cases
With jobs and no babies
I hope no phone saving and if so you gon' hate me

When you see me standing on the couches
Turnin' clubs into houses
Water to champagne fountains
Turn flat chests into mountains
And ooh I love that ass
But I hate that fucking outfit
I'm taking off her blouses
While she take off my trousers
That's just a couple more problems
To add to the couples' counselin'
Open that shit wide
Let me see how big your mouth is

Let me see how big your mouth is

Goin' hard 'til I OD
I'm the newest version of the old me
All my exes are old me
Wishin' they could X and O me
I'm on the edge and I'm hangin' all off
On the ledge and we danglin' off
And if I let go, I won't fall off
If we set a wedding date, don't call off
Bartender, I call the shots
We call for shots, y'all call the cops
Sometimes drinks speak louder than words do
Body language speaks louder than verbal

And we see me standing on the couches
Turnin' clubs into houses
Water to champagne fountains
Turn flat chests into mountains
And ooh I love that ass
But I hate that fucking outfit (I do)
I'm taking off her blouses
While she take off my trousers
That's just a couple more problems
To add to the couples' counselin'
Open that shit wide
Let me see how big your mouth is (oh)

Let me see how big your mouth is

This goes out to, uh




You know who this goes out to
Yeah!

Overall Meaning

In "Open Wide," Big Sean presents a story of personal growth and romantic struggles. The song opens with Sean questioning the authenticity of his partner's last text message and the sincerity of their relationship. He then reflects on his history of failed relationships and how difficult it has been for him to break up with girls since he was 15. The only thing that never disrupted their connection was the constricting embrace of a rubber. However, looking back now, the distance between them is greater than ever.


Despite this emotional upheaval, it seems that Sean has moved on with his life. He has more of everything, more women, drugs, liquor, and no babies or criminal charges. He appears to be living the high life, standing on couches, and turning clubs into houses, celebrating and drinking till he passes out while his body language speaks louder than his words. The passion between him and his partner is palpable, but their problems remind him of why they are currently in "couple counseling."


The chorus of "Open Wide" is an ambiguous yet provocative line calling out for his partner to open up her mouth. In the second verse, Sean continues to explore his romantic struggles, admitting he is the newest version of his older self, and all his exes are remnants of his past. His reckless lifestyle sees him hanging off the edge, with his partner by his side. He wants to commit to the relationship, but he is unsure if he wants to take the plunge. He calls the shots, but he cannot control the outcome, and in the end, it all comes down to how big her mouth is.
