Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, yeah

Little peachy thing from that East Atlanta
Roll that Swisher Sweet long as a banana
She was 18 back when I had met her
Now she 23, got her shit together
Work a 12 to 3 at the Magic City, yeah
She don't fuck with me when I'm in the city, yeah
I feel like I'm the ring, I get it creeped out
I just hit the plug, he got me geeked out

Might get another bottle, maybe get another bag
She gon' flirt with me, I'ma flirt right back
I'ma spend this money, I'ma make it right back
If she gon' flirt with me, I'ma flirt right back

I'ma flirt right back, oh yeah
I'ma flirt right back, I'ma flirt right back, oh yeah
I'ma flirt right back, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Right back, I'ma flirt right back, yeah

If she gon' flirt with me, I'ma flirt right back
I'ma flirt right back, oh yeah
I'ma flirt right back, I'ma flirt right back

Yeah, look, hold up, hold up
My DM so poppin' it won't load up, load up
I'm a little lover boy, I just show love, show love
My ex bitch callin', need to shut up, grow up, girl
I like 'em thick, like 'em tall, like 'em everything
Gucci flang, Gucci flang, Gucci everything
I got that Henny in me, I could do Hennything
She got a body like Kehlani, woah

Overall Meaning

In Blackbear's song Flirt Right Back, the artist reflects on a relationship that he has with a woman who works at the Magic City, a strip club located in Atlanta, Georgia. He refers to her as a "peachy thing" who he first met when she was 18, and who is now 23 and has her life sorted out. Blackbear muses about the fact that she doesn't seem to be interested in him when he is in town, and he feels like he is the "ring" (i.e., the leader) of a group of people who are creepily watching her from afar. Despite this, he finds himself enamored with her and willing to spend his money to win her over. He acknowledges that she flirts with him, and he will flirt back and spend money, even if it means he will make it back later.


The lyrics in Flirt Right Back are a commentary on the dynamic between men and women in strip clubs. The woman who works at the Magic City represents the alluring, unattainable figure who is able to capitalize on men's desires. Blackbear, like many men who frequent strip clubs, develops a crush on this woman and is willing to spend money on her, even if he knows he will never have her. The song also touches on the idea of power dynamics in relationships, with Blackbear feeling like he is the one who is being watched and evaluated by the woman, rather than the other way around.

I feel like Blackbear can make a good song out of anything. I bet he could even make a good song about eating food.
