"The story here is that I had to go and comfort someone because of their broken relationships with other people. But really: ‘I’m here, I could be yours right now and you wouldn’t be going through all of this if you just saw how present I am and how much I want to be with you.’ It’s about being so angry but still comforting someone: ‘I love you but you’re fucking stupid.’ It is a really intense song, but it’s going to go hard live."

In a press release reported by NME on April 14th, 2021, Ulven spoke about the difficult, complicated friendship that inspired the unapologetic lyrics for the song:
"There’s this line from this movie I love, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", that goes: ‘We accept the love we think we deserve.’ It’s a very heartbreaking line, but it’s really what I was experiencing in this situation, where I was always there for this person who would get their heart broken, and I would just come running. I would drop everything just to be there for them. That person would never see me as anything else than just a friend, even though I feel like I could’ve made her so happy. The core essence of this track is like, I’m obviously here for you, and I want to be with you, but you keep messing around with other people, and you keep getting broken. It’s this really direct, straightforward track."

Ooh-whoa, whoa, ooh-whoa, whoa
But you don't see that, do you?
No-whoa, no-whoa
When you cry and need my comfort
Ooh-whoa, whoa, ooh-whoa, whoa
I drop everything to come over
Ooh-whoa, whoa, ooh-whoa, whoa
Don't bite your lip or grit your teeth
Just count to ten and try to breathe
You stupid bitch, can't you see?
The perfect one for you is me
The perfect one for you is me
The perfect one for you is me
You stupid bitch, can't you see?
The perfect one for you is me
You don't know what you deserve
That's why you end up hurt
But you never listen
Take my advice as criticism
Then make the worst decisions
Ooh-whoa, whoa, ooh-whoa, whoa
Don't bite your lip or grit your teeth
Just count to ten and try to breathe
You stupid bitch, can't you see?
The perfect one for you is me
The perfect one for you is me
The perfect one for you is me
You stupid bitch, can't you see?
The perfect one for you is me
Don't bite your lip or grit your teeth
Just count to ten and try to breathe
You stupid bitch, can't you see?
The perfect one for you is me
The perfect one for you is me
The perfect one for you is me
You stupid bitch, can't you see?
The perfect one for you is me
The lyrics to Girl In Red's song You Stupid Bitch seem to be a heartbreak song with a sprinkle of jealousy, as the singer seems to have been in love with someone who was either unable or unwilling to reciprocate the love. The lyrics allude to the fact that the person in question has repeatedly been hurt in the past, perhaps due to their lack of discernment in choosing partners, and that the singer has always been there for them, offering comfort and understanding. The chorus, however, gets more intense, as the singer becomes more bitter and resentful towards the object of affection, calling them a "stupid bitch" and insisting that the "perfect one" for them is actually the singer themselves.
The phrase "you let the wrong people love you" in the opening line of the song is particularly powerful, as it seems to blame the person in question for their own misfortune, suggesting that they have some responsibility in choosing the wrong partners. This idea is further reinforced in the second verse, where the singer gives advice that goes unheeded, leading to the "worst decisions" being made.
The chorus has a catchy tune, but the repeated use of the phrase "you stupid bitch" can be jarring and offensive to some listeners, although it can also be interpreted as the singer's attempt at tough love.
Overall, the song is a reflection on unrequited love, the pain of being stuck in the friend zone, and the frustration of watching someone you deeply care about repeatedly make mistakes in their love life.
