Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I've got bigger breast
I know you're envious of me
It's useless to pretend
That you want to be my friend
You can't control your jealousy
[Bridge: x2]
Go pick on someone else
"Miss Insecurity" You have no reason to hate me
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
Why do girls analyze Evaluate and criticize
Other girls that they don't know
Spreading rumors, spreading lies,
Talking shit when I walk by
You're always stepping on my toes
[Chorus]
Jealous of me
Please don't be jealous of me
Please don't be jealous of me
Please don't be jealous of me
[Bridge]
[Chorus]

The first verse directly addresses the source of the jealousy, implying that it stems from the singer's physical appearance. The chorus pleads with the jealous person to let go of their envy, while the bridge acknowledges that the jealousy likely comes from a place of insecurity.
The second verse broadens the scope of the song to comment on how common and damaging jealousy among women can be. The singer is frustrated with how other girls constantly judge and criticize each other, often without even knowing the person they are targeting. This portion of the song emphasizes the larger cultural problem of internalized misogyny and how it can contribute to women being pitted against each other.
Overall, "Envy Me" is a powerful commentary on the negative effects of jealousy and insecurity, both on an individual and societal level.
