Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cups of the Rosy
Girls in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I've been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I've been drinking so much
That I'm a call her anyway and say
Fuck that new guy that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that new guy that you think you found
And since you picked up I know he's not around
Oh no, I'm just saying you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me cups of the XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don't have the time to kick it no more
Flights in the morning
What you doing that's so important?
I've been drinking so much
So I'ma call you anyway and say
Fuck that new guy that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that new guy that you think you found
And since you picked up I know hes not around
Oh ooh I'm just saying you could do better
Oh ooh tell me have you heard that lately




Uh I'm just saying you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me

The lyrics of "Cups of the Rosy" by Conor Maynard depict a man who is struggling with his emotions and his desire to reach out to an old flame. He finds himself in a club surrounded by women, but none of them compare to the woman he truly desires. He acknowledges that she is happy in a relationship with someone else, but the alcohol in his system has given him the courage to reach out to her anyway. He tells her that he knows she still thinks about the times they had together and that she could do better than her current boyfriend. He's urging her to leave him and choose him instead.


The chorus of the song features Maynard repeating the phrase "Fuck that new guy that you love so bad" and "I'm just sayin' you could do better." It's clear that the man in the song is feeling jealous and regretful, and he's lashing out at his former lover's new relationship in an attempt to get her back. However, he also acknowledges that he'll only start "hatin'" if she makes him another drink, which implies that his emotions might be influenced by the alcohol in his system.


Overall, the lyrics of "Cups of the Rosy" paint a picture of a man who is struggling with his emotions and desires. His attempt to reach out to an old flame is fueled by alcohol, and he's feeling jealous and regretful about her new relationship.

[Verse 1]
Cups of the rosé
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home

The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I've been drinkin' so much
That I'ma call her anyway, and say

Fuck that new guy that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that new guy that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he's not around, oh no

Tell me, have you heard that lately?

And I'll start hatin' only if you make me

Fuck that new guy that you love so bad

All fax. Super relevant. This what made me start singing

Kristina Desiree Lovrek

Mine, too! I can’t even express how much this cover means to me. I really feel it... everything... his singing, his “pain”, everything. It’s sooo good! That’s the beauty of music. I’d probably die without it.
