Where its at
I know karmas comin' to pay me back
I'm with the sweetest thang that's on the map
I broke her heart in thirty seconds flat
In thirty seconds flat
Just how did I become that kind of guy
To look at girl and lie right in the eye
My momma told me willy that ain't right
Boy now that ain't right

To fix the love now its impossible
But baby baby if we take it slow
If we take it slow

Cuz the way I let you down it made you hurt

The song "Heartbreaker" by Will.I.Am talks about a man who is regretful and apologetic about breaking the heart of a woman he was with. He expresses his remorse in the chorus, repeatedly saying "I'm sorry" to the woman. The lyrics suggest that the man is aware of his mistake and understands the consequences that come with it, saying "I know karmas comin' to pay me back." He also admits to lying to the woman, and acknowledges that his behavior was wrong, with his mother having told him the same. Despite all this, the man still considers himself a "heartbreaker," suggesting that he has acted in this way before.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "I'm a heartbreaker" six times, offers an interesting contrast to the rest of the song. While the verses focus on the man's remorse and apology, the chorus implies that he still sees himself as someone who can break hearts. This could suggest a degree of arrogance or a sense of inevitability about his actions. Overall, the song explores themes of regret, redemption and the impact of our actions on others.
