Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Doja Cat and Young Thug's "Payday" speak to the idea that having money doesn't necessarily equate to happiness or fulfillment. Although the singer has a lot of money, they acknowledge that it "don't mean a thing" and is just spent on their team. The line "all your mama physics tell me you gon' blossom right" suggests that they see potential in someone and want to help them succeed, perhaps as a way to find meaning beyond their wealth.


The chorus of the song celebrates the idea of getting paid, but it's juxtaposed with the lines "we're just getting by" and "saving on the side," creating a sense that the money isn't enough. Doja Cat's verse also touches on the idea that money can't buy everything, specifically love and genuine connections. Young Thug's verse has a more materialistic focus, but still mentions that he wants to love and be loved in return.


Overall, "Payday" seems to be a commentary on the emptiness of wealth and the desire for something more meaningful. The song acknowledges the excitement of getting paid and having money, but ultimately suggests that it is not the key to happiness.
