Famous
Jess Moskaluke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never met a boy that's half as good as you
So good at being good and doing what you do
You gave me so much more than flowers and perfume
I wanna give them back to you
I'm gonna make you famous
And put your name in lights
Ain't no need to thank me
I'm just playing nice

So baby feel the heat cause every eye can see all the nasty things you've done
Gonna write your wrongs all over this song
I'm gonna make you famous
You played your role with me oh so very well
You've been kissing her but I could never tell
It's time to share the show with everybody else
I've made sure the house is sold out
I'm gonna make you famous
And put your name in lights
Ain't no need to thank me
I'm just playing nice
So baby feel the heat cause every eye can see all the nasty things you've done
I'm gonna write your wrongs all over this song
I'm gonna make you famous
I'm gonna make you famous
I'm gonna make you famous
This fame is gonna tarnish your name
I'm gonna make you famous
And put your name in lights
Ain't no need to thank me
I'm just playing nice
So baby feel the heat cause every eye can see all the nasty things you've done
I'm gonna write your wrongs all over this song
I'm gonna make you famous
And put your name in lights
Ain't no need to thank me
I'm just playing nice
So baby feel the heat cause every eye can see
Can't be loving her while you're loving me

I'm gonna write your wrongs all over this song
I'm gonna make you famous

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jess Moskaluke's song "Famous" tell the story of a woman who has been betrayed by her lover, yet is determined to take revenge in a very public way. She acknowledges that she has never met a boy as good as him, but also notes that he has been unfaithful to her while playing his role with her perfectly. Despite being aware of his ongoing infidelity, she continues to be with him and even plans to make him famous by putting his name in lights. However, she also intends to tarnish his reputation along the way by writing about his wrongdoings in a song.

The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is aware of the boy's flaws, but she still proceeds with their relationship. She then vows to make him famous, but the real motive behind this is not to glorify him but to expose his infidelity to the world. By doing so, she wants him to feel the same pain and embarrassment that she feels. She further emphasizes this point by saying that this "fame" will tarnish his name. The lyrics have a powerful message about the consequences of infidelity, and how it can destroy even the most beautiful relationships.
