Lyrically, Doja Cat is expressing her confidence and superiority over other women who may try to compete for her lover's attention. She asserts that she is the best option and that her abilities in bed make her a desirable partner. She criticizes the other woman for lacking finesse and personality, while also suggesting that she only relies on physical appearances to attract her lover. Doja further demonstrates her skills in seduction and implies that she can please her lover better than anyone else. While the song has a confrontational tone, Doja ultimately warns against underestimating her and the consequences of losing her.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of them bitches ain't better than me
I know you wanted somethin' else at your feet
You gon' figure out you lost one and that's me (yeah, yeah)
Better than me
She ain't no queen, I'm like Houdini
Put a little magic in ya, like they can't see me
She so thicky in that polka-dotted bikini
Baby, why you frontin'? You know that I been the best
I come for they neck, they run 'cause I'm next
You so in denial, lately she just got you stressed
She got no finesse, she just get undressed
Yuh (yuh), yuh (yuh)
Put the honey in the pot (pot)
Put a nigga in his place
She don't wanna take my spot
Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)
She ain't even got my guap (whoa)
She ain't got a lot to say (say)
Even if she bring that talk
Better than me
Better than me
The best pussy
Come from wifey
Better than me
All of them bitches ain't better than me
I know you wanted somethin' else at your feet
You gon' figure out you lost one and that's me
Look, I can do that too, bitch, I can do that too
I can get him juiced, I can make him screw, and
Trust me, he wake up right in the mornin', or like two, and
Just to get a smooch, and, touch on that caboose, and
What they say about it? Oh, they say either you snoozin'
Honey, you just lose him, why the fuck he snoozin'?
Messin' with my man, shawty, you cruisin' for a bruisin'
Don't gotta be slimy, honey, swag is what I'm oozin'
And they call her a trick 'cause all she got is illusions
We walk in the room and complement each other smoothly
'Member how I kissed you upside down, like in that movie
Let God be the judge, and we can get rid of this Judas
Better than me (better than me)
Better than me (she ain't better than me, baby)
The best pussy (best pussy)
Come from wifey (come from wifey)
Better than me (none of the bitches)
All of them bitches ain't better than me (none of them bitches)
I know you wanted somethin' else at your feet (none of them bitches)
You gon' figure out you lost one and that's me
You gon' figure it out, baby
Careful who you fuckin' with, you just lost one
Just be careful who you fuckin' with, 'cause you just lost one
In "Better Than Me", Doja Cat addresses a romantic partner who seems to be under the illusion that he could do better without her. Doja asserts her superiority over other women, saying that "all of them bitches ain't better than me". She reminds him of the magic she brings to their relationship, lamenting that he will "figure out you lost one and that's me". Even when other women try to compete with her, with their "thicky" bodies and their attempts to seduce him, Doja Cat remains confident that she is the best woman for him.
The wordplay in the lyrics is impressive, especially in the second verse where Doja Cat hilariously imitates her competitors: "Look, I can do that too, bitch, I can do that too / I can get him juiced, I can make him screw". She also pokes fun at women who try to manipulate men into thinking they are better than they really are, calling them out for their lack of finesse: "She got no finesse, she just get undressed". In the final chorus, Doja Cat warns him to be careful about who he messes with, telling him "you just lost one" and reminding him of her worth.
