Yeah.
I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.
You know.
I'm stuck.
Does it get easier?




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fatima Yamaha's "What's A Girl To Do" speak of the confusion and uncertainty that comes with growing up and trying to understand one's place in the world. The opening line, "I just don't know what I'm supposed to be," expresses a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction. The singer is grappling with questions about their identity and purpose, unsure of who they are or who they're meant to become. This theme is echoed throughout the song, with lines like "You know, I'm stuck" and "Does it get easier?" suggesting a struggle to find answers or a sense of grounding.


Despite its heavy subject matter, the song has an upbeat, danceable feel that adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the lyrics. The driving beat and synthy, '80s-inspired sound provide a counterpoint to the introspective lyrics, suggesting a push-and-pull between the singer's internal struggles and their desire to get lost in the music.
