Born and raised in L.A., Flores adopted the stage alias DeathbyRomy at the age of 15. Struggling with depression and instances of bullying, she soon dropped out of high school to pursue a career in music. Her first album was inspired by her experiences over the next couple years as she found ways to overcome negativity. Early songs including "Blood" and "Wonder Boy" (featuring Violet Kennedy) appeared online in 2016. Collaborations with Los Angeles hip-hop artists Glitter Princess and LePlay were among the dozen or so additional tracks she shared before issuing her debut album, Monsters, in September of 2018. It included appearances by Yung Bans, Lil B, and Cuban Doll. An EP, Love U - to Death, arrived in October 2019 and included the track "Problems."
NO MERCY
DeathbyRomy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's sinister but to me he's sweet
He's my fully loaded gun
You pussies better run
My wish is his command, he'd kill for me
Na na na na na in love with a monster
Na na na na na daddy thinks I've lost it
And I really wouldn't get in my way
No shame and I can't be saved
My boy's a bullet in your brain
Mercy i show no mercy i show no mercy
My boy is a bullet in your brain mercy
I show no mercy i show no mercy
My boy is a bullet in your brain
Your nightmare is the man of my dreams
It turns me on when he makes you bleed
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the sickest bitch of all
He's my puppet and I pull the strings
Na na na na na in love with a monster
Na na na na na daddy thinks I've lost it
Watch out cus he do what I say
And I really wouldn't get in my way
No shame and I can't be saved
My boy's a bullet in your brain
Mercy i show no mercy i show no mercy
My boy is a bullet in your brain mercy
I show no mercy i show no mercy
My boy is a bullet in your brain
My boy is a bullet in your brain

She believes her wish is his command and he would kill for her. She takes pride in the fact that her man is feared and admired at the same time. The lines "Na na na na na in love with a monster" and "Na na na na na daddy thinks I've lost it" suggest that her love for this man is not acceptable to everyone around her.

She takes pleasure in the pain that he inflicts on others and loves the fact that he is a nightmare for everyone except for her. The lines "Mirror mirror on the wall / Who's the sickest bitch of all" suggest that she is aware of her own depravity and takes pride in being the "sickest" one.
Overall, "No Mercy" is a dark song that explores the complexities of love and power. It portrays a woman who is unapologetically in love with a man who is feared by all. She revels in the power that he gives her and doesn't care about the consequences.
