Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smooth like butter
Like a criminal undercover
Gon' pop like trouble
Breakin' into your heart like that (Ooh)
Coolย shade stunner
Yeah, I owe it all to my mother
Hot like summer
Yeah, I'm makin' you sweat like that
Break it down


Oh, when I look in the mirror
I'll melt your heart into two
I got that superstar glow so (Ooh)
Do the boogie like


Side step, right, left to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap
Side step, right, left to my beat
Get it, let it roll


Smooth like butter
Pull you in like no other
Don't need no Usher
To remind me you got it bad
Ain't no other
That can sweep you up like a robber
Straight up, I got ya
Makin' you fall like that
Break it down


Oh, when I look in the mirror
I'll melt your heart into two
I got that superstar glow so (Ooh)
Do the boogie like


Side step, right, left to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap
Side step, right, left to my beat
Get it, let it roll


Get it, let it roll
Get it, let it roll


Ice on my wrist, I'm the nice guy
Got the right body and the right mind
Rollin' up to party, got the right vibe
Smooth like (Butter), hate us (Love us)
Fresh boy pull up and we lay low
All the playas get movin' when the bass low
You know ARMY right behind you when you say so
Let's go


Side step, right, left to my beat (Right, left to my beat)
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheapย (You know that talk is cheap)




Side step, right, left to my beat
Get it, let it roll

Overall Meaning

In the song "Butter" by Julz West, the lyrics express a sense of confidence and charm. The opening lines describe someone who is smooth and suave, likening them to a criminal undercover, implying a sense of mystery and allure. The reference to popping like trouble suggests a playful yet impactful presence, capable of breaking into someone's heart with ease. The mention of owing it all to the singer's mother adds a touch of humility and gratitude, while also acknowledging the roots of their charisma and charm.


The comparison to being hot like summer and making others sweat emphasizes the physical attraction and magnetism that the singer exudes. The repetition of the phrase "break it down" may symbolize not only the invitation to dance but also a metaphorical breaking down of barriers or inhibitions. The imagery of melting someone's heart into two when looking in the mirror conveys a powerful self-assurance and charisma that captivates others. The mention of having a superstar glow further reinforces the idea of being a captivating and radiant presence.


The chorus with the instructions to side step right and left to the beat creates a sense of movement and rhythm, inviting the listener to groove along with the music. The references to being high like the moon and rocking together convey a sense of shared joy and connection. The assertion of having heat and being able to show rather than just talk emphasizes the singer's ability to deliver on their promises and captivate others through action rather than mere words.


The latter part of the song introduces a new element with the mention of ice on the wrist and the singer being described as the nice guy with the right body and mind. The verses highlight a sense of ease and confidence, with references to rolling up to a party with the right vibe and being loved like butter. The inclusion of the term "ARMY" hints at a supportive community or fan base, adding another layer to the song's narrative. Ultimately, the upbeat and infectious energy of the song, combined with its catchy chorus and dynamic verses, make it a celebration of charisma, charm, and self-assurance.
