The song is an uptempo self love anthem about realising your worth and stepping up you game. The title of the song is a reference to the controversial instagram post Ciara shared months ago. The post is a 2016 clip showing John Gray’s sermon in which he speaks to women about what they can do to find a husband. The post was accompanied by the hashtag ‘’#LevelUp. Don’t Settle'‘ and sparked thousands of reactions either supporting or condemning Ciara’s approach towards women.

Leggo! (watch me)
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
All this on me, so yummy, all this oh so yummy
You know you want this yummy, yummy all in your tummy
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
You know you want this yummy, yummy all in your tummy
Them old mistakes are gone, I won't do them no more
That's old news, there's new news, I done did that before
I turned nothing to something, my comeback on one hunnid'
Less talking, more action, you just gon' CiCi coming
I just keep elevating, no losses, just upgrading
My lessons, made blessings, I turned that into money
Thank God I never settled, this view is so much better
I'm chilling, I'm winning, like on another level
Oh, you can talk all you want
See me, I see greater
Nothing I'm afraid of
And I can have it all
Five, four, three, two, one
Leggo! (watch me)
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
All this on me, so yummy, all this oh so yummy
You know you want this yummy, yummy all in your tummy
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
All this on me, so yummy, all this oh so yummy
You know you want this yummy, yummy all in your tummy
Fake friends get dropped like weight
Team love, don't want no hate
I'm grindin', I'm shinin'
Up, up, up on my way
Thank God I never settled
This view is so much better
I'm chilling, I'm winning
Like on another level
Oh, you can talk all you want
See me, I see greater
Nothing I'm afraid of
And I can have it all
Five, four, three, two, one
Leggo! (watch me)
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up
