Lovely
Brent Faiyaz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I almost fell in love with you
After the club last night
It don't know what you do
Money's gonna treat you right

(Pre-chorus)
Girl, don't act like you changed
When we both know you can't

And I know you love me
Cause i think you're lovely

Girl check my coat
Drop that as in the floor
See you move on that pole
Baby, look at you go
Girl, check my coat
Drop that ass on the floor
See you move on that pole
Baby, look at you go

I almost fell in love with you
After the club last night
And you told me 'don't spend too much'
Girl, take your own advice

(Pre-Chorus)
Girl, don't act like you changed
When we both know you can't
And I know you love me
Cause i think you're lovely

Girl check my coat
Drop that as in the floor
See you move on that pole
Baby, look at you go
Girl, check my coat
Drop that ass on the floor

See you move on that pole
Baby, look at you go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Brent Faiyaz's song "Lovely" tell the story of a man who almost fell in love with a stripper he met at the club. The first verse describes how he was enchanted by her moves and her beauty, and how he almost fell in love with her. However, the second verse reveals that she gave him advice not to spend too much money, a common conversation between strippers and their clients, and this brought him back to reality. The pre-chorus suggests that their relationship may not be altogether genuine, as she can't change who she is and he knows she loves him because he thinks she's lovely. The chorus repeats the phrase "Girl, check my coat, drop that ass on the floor, see you move on that pole, baby, look at you go" twice, emphasizing the visual and physical connection he has with her.

The song "Lovely" is an example of Brent Faiyaz's signature sound, which mixes contemporary R&B with hip hop and soul influences. Faiyaz co-produced the song with James Harte and was the songwriter, as he is on all of his releases. The song was released in January 2020 as part of his project F**k The World. It has become a popular club anthem and has been streamed millions of times on various platforms. It has also been covered by a number of artists, including Kiana Ledé, who performed her own version of the song accompanied only by piano.
