Camila Cabello feat. DaBaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(My, oh my)
He comes alive at midnight
(Every night)
My mama doesn't trust him
(My, oh my)
He's only here for one thing
But (so am I)
A little bit older
A black leather jacket
A bad reputation
Insatiable habits
He was onto me, one look and I couldn't breathe
Yeah, I said, "If you kiss me
I might let it happen"
I swear on my life that I've been a good girl
Tonight, I don't wanna be her
They say he likes a good time
(My, oh my)
He comes alive at midnight
(Every night)
My mama doesn't trust him
(My, oh my)
He's only here for one thing (let's go)
But (so am I)
Look, I'm the type to make her turn on her daddy
DaBaby make her forget what she learned from her daddy
I don't be trippin on lil' shawty, I let her do whatever she please
I don't be kissin' on lil' shawty, she don't be kissin' on me either
She came with you and then left with me, I went up a point, let's call it even (yeah)
Don't like the car she in, gonna end up buying her a new Beamer (let's go)
That girl know what she want, she make me take it off when she see me (let's go)
She say I make her wet whenever my face pop up on TV
I had to say, "No disrespect, gotta do it safe or you can keep it"
Pop star, I'm fresh up out the trap and I'm goin' Bieber
She know I'm a call away, she can drop a pin and I come meet her
Stand next to me, you gon' end up catchin' a fever (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm hot (yeah)
I swear on my life that I've been a good girl (good girl, good girl)
Tonight, I don't want to be her
They say he likes a good time
(My, oh my)
He comes alive at midnight (he comes alive, oh every night)
(Every night)
My mama doesn't trust him
(My, oh my)
He's only here for one thing
But (so am I)
My, my, my, my, my, oh my
My mama doesn't trust you, baby
My, my, my, my, my, oh my
And my daddy doesn't know you, no
My, my, my, my, my, oh my
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, oh my
My, my, my, my, my, oh my
They say he likes a good time
(My, oh my)
He comes alive at midnight
(Every night)
My mam doesn't trust him
(My, oh my)
He's only here for one thing
But (so am I)
The song "My Oh My" by Camila Cabello tells a story of a girl who falls for a guy who is not trusted by her parents. The lyrics describe the guy as someone who likes a good time and only here for one thing, just like she is. The girl knows that he has a bad reputation and insatiable habits, yet she cannot resist him. Even though she has always been a good girl, she wants to be different tonight and experience something new.
The chorus repeats the fact that the guy likes a good time, coming alive every night at midnight, and her mom doesn't trust him. However, the girl is not much different from him because she also wants to let go tonight and enjoy herself. The song also features a rap verse from DaBaby, where he talks about a girl who knows what she wants and is not afraid to take it. He doesn't care about her past or who she is, as long as they can have fun together.
The song's lyrics suggest a common theme of rebellion and exploration while also addressing the double standard that exists in society when it comes to women and men's sexuality. The girl wants to have fun without judgment, just like the guy, but her parents and society view her behavior differently. "My Oh My" encourages breaking free from society's expectations and having fun while embracing one's own desires.

My girlfriend sent me this, the moment I saw the song, I literally started crying. I'm so glad I found her. I crawled through hell and back for this, so to those who don't have what they need, let this song be a reminder that even though life may suck, it does get better. Keep going!
