Famous Girl
Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So how could you be so "Heartless," girl?
"Live Your Life," take T-I-M-E
"Day 'n' Night" just like Kid Cudi
You'll think of me, you will, oh
Drake would say that you're the "Best He Ever Had"
Rumors come and go but you keep your shadow
Everywhere you go it follows, can't understand, I still love you
Soon as I thought I found the right woman
There were other guys who thought the same thing about her
Like damn, you let me down, down, down
'Cause you're famous, girl, for breakin' hearts
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
Should've known you'd break my heart
Know that you would break my heart, heart, heart
Keri would've said my love "Knocks Her Down"
Keyshia would've told me I was "Sent From Heaven"
Sorry B, I don't wear no "Halo"
You were first to play the game though
Sorry, I bust the windows out your car
I might have cheated in the beginnin'
I was wrong for writin' "Disturbia"
But I meant it in "Forever"
We were 'posed to be together
And I can't let you go
Soon as you thought you found the right man
There were other girls who thought the same thing about me
Like damn, I let you down, down, down
Yes, I'm famous, girl, for breakin' hearts
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
Didn't know I'd break your heart
Know that I woul break my heart, heart, heart
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (girl)
Didn't know I'd break your heart
Know that I would break my heart, heart, heart
Many hearts we should've left unbroken
Empty words are better left unspoken
Too much pressure, I wish time was frozen
Seems we lost our way now
I hope you're happy bein' famous, girl
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (should've known that you would break my heart)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (should have known that you would leave me lonely)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (yeah)
Should've known you'd break my heart
Know that you would break my heart, heart, heart
(But then again I'm famous, girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (I've broken my share of hearts)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (should've known from the start that we would break apart)
Didn't know I'd break your heart
Know that I would break your heart, heart, heart (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The lyrics of Chris Brown's song Famous Girl are about a relationship that was built on fame and the difficulties that come with it. It speaks to the idea that being famous can both bring people together and tear them apart. The song begins with Brown referencing Kanye West's song "Amazing" and calling out his lover for being "heartless." He goes on to mention other famous artists like Kid Cudi, Drake, Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole, and Beyonce while lamenting the famous girl's reputation for breaking hearts. He acknowledges his own mistakes and cheating and admits that the relationship was full of empty words and too much pressure. The song ends with Brown saying he hopes the famous girl is happy being famous, but he can't help but feel heartbroken.

Brown is acknowledging that he and his partner were in a unique situation because of their fame, and that this situation made it difficult to maintain a healthy relationship. The constant scrutiny and pressure from the public, as well as the temptation of other famous people, made it hard for them to stay faithful and committed to each other. Brown seems to be expressing a sense of sadness and regret over the fact that they couldn't make their relationship work, but also acknowledging that fame was a major factor in their breakup.
