Cinderella
Camila Cabello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bibbidi-bobbiidi boo
It seems the floor's getting colder
Since I laid on it
And I held hands with the car
Cause he was late on it i did my liner
Put on but she's on his phone fronting
(Look at him fronting, look
Look at him fronting)
Cause it's 3 AM and it ain't the same
And the sign is clear when
The phone don't ring why, oh, why
She said a dream is a wish your heart makes
And he's a sad reality

Cinderella never asked for a prince (no)
Just a dress, there anybody like this? (no)
If the shoe won't fit then I'll
Walk barefoot to the moon
If you fall when the clock
Hit's the spot then bibbidi-bobbiidi boo
Instagram that just won't do
Back then I managed the crew
At twelve it's just me in
My ripped skinny jeans
But I'm still a damn princess to you
Ah ah ah ah ah bibbidi-bobbiidi boo
Ah ah ah ah ah bibbidi-bobbiidi boo

I broke a sweat tryna catch
You single blame from it
But you're not listening, oh
You want kissing
I'm not asking for your red wine
But couldn't have you hold me down

I mean is this supposed to be
Like a date or something?

Cinderella never asked for a prince (no)
Just a dress, there anybody like this? (no)
If the shoe won't fit then I'll
Walk barefoot to the moon
If you fall when the clock
Hit's the spot then bibbidi-bobbiidi boo
Cinderella never asked for a prince (no)
Just a dress, there anybody like this? (no)
Us twenty first century girls
Need chivalry too if you fall when the clock
Hit's the spot then bibbidi-bobbiidi boo

Once upon a time there was a
Boy with a face divine
But he couldn't understand how
To be a gentleman
And so the lady said farewell
She deserved better for real
And now he's crying alone
Cause she sassed him with this song, oh

Cinderella never asked for a prince (no)
Just a dress, there anybody like this? (no)
If the shoe won't fit then I'll
Walk barefoot to the moon
If you fall when the clock
Hit's the spot then
If you fall when the clock
Hit's the spot then





Mhm, I'm still a damn princess to you
Bibbidi-bobbiidi boo

Overall Meaning

In "Cinderella," Camila Cabello uses the lyrics to convey feelings of frustration and disappointment in a romantic relationship. The bibbidi-bobbiidi boo references allude to the fairy tale of Cinderella, emphasizing the theme of longing for a prince charming and a happily ever after. However, Cabello subverts this traditional narrative, highlighting a different desire from Cinderella – just a dress, someone who understands her. This signifies a longing for authenticity and connection rather than material wealth or societal expectations.


The first verse describes a situation where the singer feels ignored and unimportant in the relationship. The line "the floor's getting colder since I laid on it" suggests emotional distance, while "held hands with the car" signifies waiting and feeling neglected. The mention of doing eyeliner and being on the phone fronting indicates attempts to distract oneself and maintain a facade, even though the relationship is lacking depth and connection.


The chorus further emphasizes the idea of Cinderella not needing a prince, but rather someone who understands and accepts her for who she is. The line "If the shoe won't fit, then I'll walk barefoot to the moon" symbolizes the willingness to go against societal norms or expectations and find happiness in unconventional ways. The reference to falling when the clock hits the spot implies that she is willing to take risks and make mistakes in the pursuit of authentic love and fulfillment.


In the second verse, the singer expresses frustration at not being heard or understood. The line "I broke a sweat tryna catch you single blame from it" suggests putting in effort to fix the relationship, but the partner not listening or reciprocating. The longing for a genuine connection is juxtaposed with the sarcastic question, "I mean is this supposed to be like a date or something?" highlighting the lack of effort and sincerity from the partner.


The bridge introduces the idea of the boy's failure to be a gentleman and the lady's decision to leave for someone better. It implies that the singer deserves more respect and care in a relationship. The closing line of the song, "I'm still a damn princess to you," represents self-affirmation and empowerment. Despite the disappointments and setbacks, she values her worth and refuses to settle for less than she deserves.


Overall, "Cinderella" explores the desire for genuine love and understanding in a relationship, rejecting traditional fairy tale notions and emphasizing the importance of self-worth and fulfillment. The lyrics showcase the singer's longing for a partner who sees and appreciates her for who she truly is, rather than conforming to societal expectations or relying on superficial displays of affection.

Bibbidi-bobbiidi boo
Magic is fading away and the situation is getting worse


It seems the floor's getting colder
The relationship is losing warmth and intimacy


Since I laid on it
Since I invested myself emotionally


And I held hands with the car
I settled for less, waiting for him to arrive


Cause he was late on it i did my liner
In hopes of impressing him, I did my makeup


Put on but she's on his phone fronting
Although I made an effort, he's not paying attention and is pretending


(Look at him fronting, look Look at him fronting)
He is pretending and showing off


Cause it's 3 AM and it ain't the same
The late-night interactions are not as meaningful or fulfilling


And the sign is clear when The phone don't ring why, oh, why
The absence of his call is a clear sign of his disinterest


She said a dream is a wish your heart makes
She once believed in fairytales and love


And he's a sad reality
But he turned out to be a disappointing reality


Cinderella never asked for a prince (no)
She didn't desire a traditional prince or a fairytale ending


Just a dress, there anybody like this? (no)

If you fall when the clock Hit's the spot then bibbidi-bobbiidi boo
If they fail to meet each other's expectations, it's time to move on


Instagram that just won't do
Superficial social media validation is not enough


Back then I managed the crew
In the past, she had control and confidence


At twelve it's just me in My ripped skinny jeans

Once upon a time there was a Boy with a face divine
There was a guy who appeared attractive and charming

Consequently, the lady decided to part ways with him


She deserved better for real
She acknowledged her worth and knew she deserved better

Here I go again
I'm imagining a world outside, unlike the one I'm in
Daydreaming again of when I'll get a chance
There's a world that understands
But you don't hear the whispers in the room you're walking in
Daydreaming again, all I need is a chance
When I feel my fear staring at me
I tell it just wait and see
I know who I'm gonna be
I know who I'm gonna be
The world's half-asleep
It's gonna wake up and see
If it's a million to one
I'm gonna be that one and
If it's a shot in the dark
I'm gonna be the sun
And I just can't afford to be wrong
Even when I'm afraid
You're gonna know my name
Yeah, you're gonna know my name
Mmm, I can barely sleep
'Cause my heart is always racing, chasing, pacing 'round the room
Living carefully is something I don't wanna do
When I feel my fear staring at me
I tell it just wait and see
I know who I'm gonna be
I know who I'm gonna be
The world's half-asleep
It's gonna wake up and see
If it's a million to one
I'm gonna be that one and
If it's a shot in the dark
I'm gonna be the sun
And I just can't afford to be wrong
Even when I'm afraid
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name
And I can see her now and then
The one I know that I could be
Yeah
I see her laughing
'Cause she knew all along in her head
So when the light is hard to see
She's telling me
If it's a million to one
I'm gonna be that one and
If it's a shot in the dark
I'm gonna be the sun and I
I just can't afford to be wrong (na, na, na, na, na)
Even when I'm afraid (even when I'm afraid)
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name
Oh, you're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name, yeah
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name

The Book of Truth
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

"Arab uprising will spark global unrest – Italy will trigger fall out"

"Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations – bound as one, at its very core – will all take place at the same time."

Regardless of the movie, this song slaps. It is such a good message and I just love this song. It’s full of good affirmations, it’s positive, yet it isn’t cringy at the same time. It has helped me a lot in my healing journey.
