Why'd You Call
DJ Mustard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Started off playing, lies you were saying
Started off laughing, then I start to believe
Said you were stayin' but you were lying
You're thinking bout leaving, walking out on me
Like all I've done, it wasn't for fun
Now you not here, my heart still bleeds
You be actin' so brand new
[Hook: ILoveMakonnen]
Why'd you call? If you got other numbers to dial
Why'd you call? If you've been seeing someone else
Why'd you call just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call Just to play with my heart?
[Verse 2: Ty Dolla $ign]
Started off at backstage, ended up at the hotel
Started off fucking now like oh well
You said that's my pussy, said that's your dick
You've been thinking 'bout cheating, creeping on me
Like all I've done, it wasn't for fun
Now you not here, my heart still bleeds
Now you actin' so brand new
Seeing someone else and it just ain't you
Can you tell me why?
[Hook: ILoveMakonnen]
Why'd you call? If you got other numbers to dial
Why'd you call? If you've been seeing someone else
Why'd you call just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call Just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call? If you got other numbers to dial
Why'd you call? If you've been seeing someone else
Why'd you call just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call Just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call Just to play with my heart?
Why'd you call?
Why'd you call?
Why'd you call?
The lyrics to DJ Mustard's song Why'd You Call are about a relationship that has gone sour due to lies and infidelity. The first verse, sung by Ty Dolla $ign, describes how the relationship started off well, with the couple laughing and enjoying each other's company. However, the woman in the relationship began lying about her intentions to stay, and eventually leaves. The chorus, sung by ILoveMakonnen, questions why she would even bother calling the singer if she has been seeing other people and playing with his heart. The second verse is similar to the first, with the couple starting off well before the singer discovers that his partner has cheated on him. The chorus repeats, questioning why the woman would bother calling if she has been seeing other people and not truly interested in the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics highlight the pain and frustration one experiences when being lied to and cheated on in a relationship. The repeated question of "why'd you call?" highlights the singer's confusion and inability to understand why the woman would even bother reaching out if she has no real interest in the relationship. The song's production is minimalistic, with a slow, steady beat and simple instrumentals that keep the focus on the lyrics and vocals.
