The lyrics to Calvin Harris's song "Don't Quit" primarily revolve around themes of attraction, confidence, and self-expression. The song starts with DJ Khaled introducing the track, adding an element of surprise and excitement. The lyrics then dive into Calvin Harris describing his preferences in women. He likes them "special made" for him, implying that he values uniqueness and individuality. Additionally, he refers to spending a significant amount of money on a woman's body, suggesting that he appreciates physical aesthetics. However, he is selective about who he chooses to be with, stating that his "lil' baby" is not for everybody.
The chorus emphasizes Calvin Harris's attraction for a woman with a curvaceous figure. He finds her "too fat" in a complimentary manner and urges her not to quit. This can be interpreted as an affirmation of body positivity, celebrating the beauty of different body types. The lyrics also indicate that Calvin Harris is happy with the current situation and encourages his partner to continue being herself.
In the second verse, Calvin Harris continues to praise his partner, using luxury and materialistic imagery to describe her. He mentions "dripping her down in gold" and how she used to say no, but now she wants to be with him. This can be seen as a manifestation of his influence or success, with his partner being drawn to his lifestyle and the financial stability it represents.
The bridge of the song presents a shift in perspective, with a female voice coming in to express her desire for a deeper connection. She asks if they can "pick it up" and spend more time together, hinting at a desire for emotional intimacy rather than just physical attraction. This implies that the song is not solely about objectifying women, but also about the potential for genuine connection and mutual fulfillment in a relationship.
Overall, "Don't Quit" presents a mix of superficial desires and genuine connection in relationships. While there are elements of objectification and materialism in the lyrics, it also showcases the importance of body positivity and the potential for emotional depth within a partnership.

@A.20022
still can’t believed this song didn’t get much attention like it’s so good
@gushxran8252
Ikr
@Austinkanerodriguez
Dude same. I think it's just cause of DJ Khalid people didn't like the cover maybe alittle. Which has nothing to do with the song, but then the production isn't bad it's just not amazing. The bell thing thru the whole song plus Khalid ad libs, but overall imo it's fire. Straight heat and travis carried so hard but Jeremiah did his thing too lol
@Chris-gf3ok
Travis Scott is next level
@andreeaolariu2206
As always
@wedkwho
Always trying somethin new 🔥
@user-ls1fg7hb9w
yeah
@IronSwordRBLX
This didn’t age too well
@Roeinesmati
@Krusty Krab Pizza he still 🐐
@S0ALZ
This is my opinion
70% Travis Scott
Calvin 20%
Jeremih 9%
Dj Khaled 1% because he's the one.
