Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fireboy's song Jealous tell a story of a man who is falling in love with a woman, but is hesitant to fully commit because of his fear of heartbreak. He expresses his frustration that what she is giving him is not enough to satisfy him, yet he still finds himself addicted to her. He becomes jealous at the thought of her being with anyone else.


The chorus is the main focal point of the song as Fireboy repeats his jealousy towards her being with anyone else. The bridge of the song, however, introduces a new element with Fireboy telling the story of a Ghanaian girl with melanin, singing about his desire to have her forever, and ending with the declaration that he's falling for her and calling on her.


The use of the word "odo" which means love in the Yoruba language, further emphasizes the underlying theme of love in the song. The repetitive use of "getting" emphasizes the gradual process of his addiction to her, making it more difficult to let go.
