Throughout the song, it becomes apparent that the girl in question is extremely privileged, and takes advantage of the sort of attention she receives from men – particularly rich and famous ones.
The chorus is a play on the “Solfège” harmonic scale commonly used in music education to teach pitch: do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do.
Do Re Mi

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Do, re, mi, fa, so
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, if I could go back to that day we met
I probably would just stay in bed
You run your mouth all over town
Of breaking glass on my Range Rover
Pay me back or bitch, it's over
All the presents I would send
Fuck my friends behind my shoulder
Next time I'ma stay asleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep, oh
And you got me thinking lately
Bitch, you crazy
And nothing's ever good enough
I wrote a little song for ya, it go like
Do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, girl
So fuckin' done with all the games you play
I ain't no Tic-tac-toe
Send the X and O's on another note
I'm do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, baby
So send the X and O's on another note, I'm ghost
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
If I could go back to that day we met
I probably would've stayed in bed
You wake up everyday and make me feel like I'm incompetent
Designer shoes and Xanax tabs
Compliments your make-up bag
You never had to buy yourself a drink
'Cause everybody want to tap that ass sometime
And you got me thinking lately
Bitch, you crazy
And nothing's ever good enough
I wrote a little song for ya, it go like
Do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, girl
So fuckin' done with all the games you play
I ain't no Tic-tac-toe
Send the X and O's on another note
I'm do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, baby
So send the X and O's on another note, I'm ghost
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(And you got me thinking lately, yeah)
(Bitch, you crazy)
(And nothing's ever good enough)
I wrote a little song for ya, it go like
Do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, girl
So fuckin' done with all the games you play
I ain't no Tic-tac-toe
Send the X and O's on another note
I'm do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, baby
So send the X and O's on another note, I'm ghost
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(So send the X and O's on another note, I'm)
Do, re, mi, fa, so (yeah, yeah, yeah)
So send the X and O's on another note, I'm ghost
The lyrics of Blackbear's "Do Re Mi" describe a relationship that didn't work out. The singer is expressing their frustration towards their ex-partner who betrayed them by cheating behind their back. Initially, the singer conveys their regret about meeting their partner and not staying in bed instead of going out to meet them. They describe how their partner spread rumors about them all over town and damaged their Range Rover by breaking its glass. The singer seeks payment for the damage caused by their partner or else threatens to end the relationship. The singer also describes how their partner used them for all their money, gifts, and for the attention given to them by their friends.
By using the Do Re Mi scale, the singer tells their ex that he's "done" with them, at least on this musical scale. The singer then concludes by saying they are "ghost" and want nothing to do with their ex anymore. The song's title employs a musical/tonal pun, as "Do Re Mi" is the first three syllables of the major musical scale but here the notes are just background voices against the background beat punctuated by the occasional annoying, rising ringtone tone. The singer divides the song into two verses, and each ends with a variation of the same line: "I wrote a little song for ya, it go like." Despite this repeated refrain, no chorus is part of the song, and the verses are all delivered in rapid-fire rhythm.
