KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time for me to take it
I'm the boss right now
Not gonna fake it
Not when you go out
'Cause this is my game
And you better come to play
I used to hold my self back
Now I'm letting go
I make my own choice
Yeah I run this show
So leave the lights on
No, you can't make me behave
So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you had me underrated
Rated, rated
Ooh
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
It's time to get the word out
Is your tongue tied up?
'Cause this is my ground
And I'm dangerous
And you can get out
But it's all about me today
Ooh
So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you had me underrated
Rated, rated
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
Uh huh (hey)
Wooh
So you say I'm complicated
But you've had me underrated
Ooh
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
The KIDZ BOP Kids' song "Confident" is about owning and embracing one's individuality and strength. The lyrics assert that the singer is in control of their life and refuses to be held back by others' opinions or judgments. The song encourages listeners to let go of their insecurities, stand in their power, and own their uniqueness. The repeated refrain of "What's wrong with being confident?" reinforces the theme of self-love and acceptance. The song's fast, upbeat tempo and energetic vocals further convey its message of empowerment and positive self-image.
On a deeper level, "Confident" is also about breaking down gender norms and stereotypes. The song's lyrics could easily apply to a male or female singer, defying the traditional gender roles often portrayed in pop music. The line "So leave the lights on / No, you can't make me behave" can be interpreted as a rejection of sexual objectification, demanding that the singer be seen as more than just a passive object of desire. By promoting confidence as a positive attribute, the song encourages listeners to resist the societal pressure to conform to rigid gender roles and embrace their true selves.
Overall, "Confident" is a catchy, empowering anthem that encourages listeners of all ages to embrace their unique qualities and stand in their power. Its message of self-love and acceptance is especially important for young people growing up in a world that often values conformity over individuality.

It's time for me to take it
I am ready to step up and take control
I'm the boss right now
I am in charge and making the decisions
Not gonna fake it
I will not pretend or hide who I truly am
Not when you go out
Especially when you are not around
'Cause this is my game
This is my life and I am in control of it
And you better come to play
You better be ready to keep up with me
I used to hold myself back
Previously, I did not have the confidence
Now I'm letting go
But now, I am breaking free from my own limitations
I make my own choice
I have the power to make my own decisions
Yeah, I run this show
I am completely in charge of my life
So leave the lights on
I am not afraid of being seen or being myself
No, you can't make me behave
I will not conform to someone else's standards of behavior
So you say I'm complicated
Others may find me difficult to understand
That I must be outta my mind
Some people believe that I am crazy
But you had me underrated
They underestimate me and my potential
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
Why is this bad?
What's wrong with being confident (ooh)
Why is having confidence a negative trait?
It's time to get the word out
It is time to spread the news
Is your tongue tied up?
Are you at a loss for words?
'Cause this is my ground
This is my territory
And I'm dangerous
I am a force to be reckoned with
And you can get out
If you can't handle it, you are free to leave
But it's all about me today
Today, the focus is all on me
Uh huh (hey)
Expressing agreement, confidence, or enthusiasm
So you say I'm complicated
Others may find me difficult to understand
But you've had me underrated
They underestimate me and my potential
