Just Askin
Iggy Azalea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wassup, in your world?
And are you still coolin' with that lame girl?
I ain't hatin', it don't matter though
I kept it cool, but you made me wanna slap a ho
I look good, what does she have?
I was down, no knee pads
Look, this kinda sound like a poem
If you relate then point 'em out if you know 'em
Hey, boy hush that, I remembered you were riding on your mustache
You was hanging so hard, you nearly lost that
Little trick you like to do, yeah I taught that

I got a brand new man and a brand new place
Glad you called, thought you coulda had that space
I'm alright, and Imma play it cool
I can't cook, but I made a plate for you
You wanted something more, than what we had
What's up with her? She ain't all that
I'm not trippin' on what coulda been
I know it's kinda weird, I'm just askin'
Just askin'
I know it's kinda weird, I'm just askin'

I just happened
To run into you and I noticed your reaction
You couldn't say shit, I read your caption
She a one-hit wonder, and you missin' my classics
Damn that's tragic
I would hate to be you
To tell the truth, she could never be me
I got a new man, with a few new bands
Give me what I want, and he got that D

I got a brand new man and a brand new place
Glad you called, thought you coulda had that space
I'm alright, and Imma play it cool
I can't cook, but I made a plate for you
You wanted something more, than what we had
What's up with her? She ain't all that
I'm not trippin' on what coulda been
I know it's kinda weird, I'm just askin'

You know what, you are seriously such a fuckin' bitch ass, loser, motherfucker
You got over me? Yeah, you got the fuck over me
'Cause you fucked another fuckin' bitch

This is bullshit, because you found
A new perfect girl for you

Overall Meaning

In "Just Askin'," Iggy Azalea addresses an ex-partner who she's recently run into. She asks him how he's doing, wonders aloud whether he's still with the "lame girl" he was dating when they were together, and takes a moment to assert her own hotness in comparison. She then goes on to boast about her own new relationship, and finally reads out a string of increasingly agitated and drunken text messages from her ex, which she reiterates don't phase her. Throughout the song, Azalea embodies a powerful, confident persona that refuses to be bothered by her ex's attempts to get in touch or by his new relationship. The lyrics are a clear indication of the singer's self-assurance, and will doubtless resonate with anyone who's been in a similar situation.

My memories of this song was on the airplane leaving my hometown after graduating highschool, leaving behind my past and the people in it and thinking to myself that my life finally begins, In a new place, one where I have full control over my autonomy and destiny. Love this song Nostalgia holds true.

C.V

How it go? cause I just graduated high-school and thinking about the same thing sis

Frankie Strode

Any advice cuz I juss graduated sis and a bitch is going through it. This song heals my depression though 🥂🤍🤍

R A

@Frankie Strode Honestly if you feel an urge for something I truly believe it was put into your subconscious for a reason. In life sometimes taking risks and experience change is what you need to propel yourself to better things. The largest advice I can give is to work on your inner self concept, your esteem and how you feel. Improving and investing in yourself and your future will never steer you wrong and you won’t ever regret it. After that the rest aligns naturally. I have never regretted putting myself and my desires first. I’ve learned a lot, certainly have been through it, still am experiencing my own issues but I have grown from following my inner thoughts and my heart! Sum it up: just do it and take care of yourself! You control more of your reality than you think

R A

@C.V I replied to someone right now on this thread and I think it would also apply to you too! Wishing you the best with your journey 🥰

LOVE

@R A you're amazinggg
