She also broke through in Bulgaria, where “Automatic” became a surprise Top 10-hit.

(Lovesick) I'm stronger and it feels so good
(Lovesick) No longer, so what you gonna do?
(Lovesick) Understand, it's a fact
I'm not lovesick
I don't wanna be rude
But now you're lost in my hood
You're bad news boy
Feels like a badly disease
The way you're looking at me
And it's so easy to see
You're bad news boy
Aaaaaah
Don't you push it , push it
Aaaaaah
Lovesick
Don't you push it too far
Aaaaaah
(Lovesick) No longer, 'cause now I'm over you
(Lovesick) I'm stronger and it feels so good
(Lovesick) No longer, so what you gonna do?
(Lovesick) Understand, it's a fact
I'm not lovesick
I don't wanna be cruel
It's just the things that you do
How you're bending the truth
It's uncool boy
Why don't you try to behave
Instead of ruining my day
You're not in my hall of fame
You're bad news boy
Aaaaaah
Don't you push it , push it
Aaaaaah
Lovesick
Don't you push it too far
Aaaaaah
(Lovesick) No longer, 'cause now I'm over you
(Lovesick) I'm stronger and it feels so good
(Lovesick) No longer, so what you gonna do?
(Lovesick) Understand, it's a fact
I'm not lovesick
Understand, it's a fact
I'm not lovesick

Now you're going crazy
I will show you how to treat a lady
I'm not lovesick

The song "Lovesick" by Elize is a confident and empowering anthem about moving on from a toxic and manipulative relationship. The opening lines "No longer, 'cause now I'm over you / I'm stronger and it feels so good" set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer declares her newfound strength and independence. The repeated refrain of "I'm not lovesick" reinforces the idea that she's no longer under the spell of this person who once had power over her.
In the second verse, Elize's lyrics become more assertive and harsh as she calls out her ex's bad behavior and lies. She emphasizes that she won't tolerate being treated poorly anymore and demands that he start behaving better. The bridge section introduces a hint of flirtation and playfulness as she reminds him that she's still attractive and desirable, but then quickly reasserts her boundaries with the repeated "I'm not lovesick" line.
Overall, "Lovesick" is a confident and self-assured song that encourages the listener to take control of their relationships and stand up for themselves.

Not a bad song, the more you listen, the more you get used to it. I think Elize makes some very simple, but also very good dance.
