Hit Me Back
Jacob Sartorius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, been waiting 'round all summer
Seen you posting pics and it's been such a bummer, ay
Since we got outta class, gave you my number
Supposed to hit me back

So now I can't afford to
Miss you when it's gorgeous outside
What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back
What's up with that?
FaceTimed you, called you, never hit me back
What's up with that?
The weather's okay, so why you feeling sad?
What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back

You never hit me Monday
Took you on a date on Tuesday
We were in love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
Where'd you go Sunday?

So now I can't afford to
Miss you when it's gorgeous outside

What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back
What's up with that?
FaceTimed you, called you, never hit me back
What's up with that?
The weather's okay, so why you feeling sad?
What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back

I had you YSL from head to toe
VVS rings to let you know
If you love me, then where'd you go?
I swooped you up in that big white ghost
I'm with Jacob, girl, so you know
We finna take over the whole world

What's up with that? (Hey, aw, yeah)
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back
(Why you never hit me back?)
What's up with that?
FaceTimed you, called you, never hit me back
(You never hit me back)
What's up with that?
The weather's okay, so why you feeling sad?
(Why you never hit me back?)
What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back

(Why you never hit me back?)
What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back
(Why you never hit me back?
Me back, me back, hit me, hit me)




What's up with that?
Hit you all day, but you never hit me back

Overall Meaning

The song "Hit Me Back" by Jacob Sartorius talks about the disappointment one feels when the person they like doesn't reciprocate the same effort in return. The lyrics express the sentiment of waiting for summer to be with someone and giving them your number in expectation of a response. However, the subject doesn't respond, leaving the person upset and feeling ignored. The lyrics further highlight the irony of being unable to miss this person in the gorgeous summer weather, but feeling frustrated about the lack of communication from the subject. The song narrates a relationship that was promising and fast-moving, but somehow things went wrong.


The catchy chorus, "What's up with that? Hit you all day, but you never hit me back," is a repetitive reminder of the disappointment felt by the singer. The song continues with a description of how the singer had given expensive gifts, clothing, and attention, but still had no reciprocation in return. The last verse talks about how the singer was with Jacob, presumably Jacob Sartorius himself, and how their plan was to take over the world.
