That Girl
Feder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girls, girls, girls on a roll
Salute me if you see me drive pon road
Drop it down, dip low, I see you go
Walkin' with your guy, yeah, young CEO

Tell a wasteman you ain't got no time
When they hate, then give 'em no eye
Got your head dipped, poppin' up skin-tight

Not just somebody, she light up the party

That girl, she know what she want
Make her own dollar, she don't need a man
That girl, that girl in the sun
She whine up her waist like rum-pum-pum-pum
She wears, wears
Diamonds with the pearls
Can't tell her no, she's in control
All around town them boys be singing like

(Woo)
Sing like
(Woo)
Sing like
That girl, she know what she want
Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

That girl

Sing like, that girl (woo)
Sing like (woo)
Sing like, that girl, she know what she want
Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

There ain't nothing you can offer
That will make her change her mind
They all want a chance to love her
But her bling will turn you blind
(Oh) Keep it all low-key
(Oh) Make a move slowly
(Oh) Don't hit her up knowing
You're only gonna waste her time

That girl, she know what she want
Make her own dollar, she don't need a man
That girl, that girl in the sun
She wine up her waist like rum-pum-pum-pum
She wears, wears
Diamonds with the pearls
Can't tell her no, she's in control
All around town them boys be singing like

(Woo)
Singing like (woo)
Singing like, that girl, she know what she want
Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

That girl
That girl

Singing like, that girl (woo)
Singing like (woo)
Singing like, that girl, she know what she want
Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

(She don't need a man, she don't need a fella)
(Got her own thing, don't even holler)
(See a real girl, don't hide your colors)
(If you ain't ready, then don't even bother)

That girl (She don't need a man, she don't need a fella)
(Got her own thing, don't even holler)
(She a real girl, don't hide your colors)

Overall Meaning

The song “That Girl” by Feder is an empowering anthem about a woman who knows what she wants and makes her own money, not needing a man to support her. The beginning of the song is taunting, with the lyrics “girls, girls, girls on a roll, salute me if you see me drive pon road.” The singer is calling attention to herself and her power. She notices girls walking with their significant others but asserts that she is the real boss, a young CEO. The song continues with a catchy chorus that celebrates the independence and tenacity of the titular girl. She is in control, resolute, and unbothered by the advances of fickle men: “there ain't nothing you can offer that would make her change her mind.”

The lyrics in “That Girl” are a nod to female empowerment and encourage women to take control of their lives and not be dependent on men. In addition, the lyrics have a strong Caribbean influence, with frequent references to “whining up” and “pon road,” reminiscent of Jamaican dancehall culture. The music video also features dancers performing Caribbean-influenced choreography and Feder filming in a tropical forest.
