Mmh
Yeah
La la la la
Unh!
Hey, boy you never had much game
So I needed to upgrade
Now I seen you been hanging out
With that other girl in town
Looking like a pair of clowns-clowns-clowns
Remember all the things that you and I did first
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first
You got me got me like this
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me got me like this
Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give it on, no one else can have you
I want you back, I want you back
Want want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be crying
Now I feel so bad, looking at you flying
I want you back, I want you back
Want want you, want you back
Please, this ain't even jealousy
She ain't got a thing on me
Tryna rock them ugly jeans-jeans-jeans
You clearly didn't think this through
If what I've been told is true
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
Remember all the things that you and I did first
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first
You got me got me like this like this
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me got me like this
Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give it on, no one else can have you
I want you back, I want you back
Want want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be crying
Now I feel so bad, looking at you flying
I want you back, I want you back
Want want you, want you back
Ooh, ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
When I kissed you goodbye uh-oh uh-oh
Ooh, ooh, and you might be with her
But I still had you first uh-oh uh-oh
Yo,
Remember all the things that you and I did first
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first
You got me got me like this
Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give it on, no one else can have you
I want you back, I want you back
Want want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be crying
Now I feel like so bad, looking at you flying
I want you back, I want you back
Want want you, want you back
Do I sound like a helicopter?
Brr
This Kidz Bop song, "Want U Back" is about a girl who broke up with her boyfriend because he wasn't good enough for her, but now regrets it because he's moved on with someone else. The lyrics are filled with bitterness and regret as she reflects on all the things they used to do together and the fact that he's now doing all those things with someone else. She questions his decision-making skills and calls out the fact that he's now dating someone who isn't as good as her. The chorus of the song repeatedly states that she wants him back and that no one else can have him.
Throughout the song, there's a sense of frustration and helplessness that comes through the lyrics. The girl seems to be disappointed in herself for letting him go and regrets missing out on the things that they used to do together. The song is relatable to anyone who has gone through a breakup and had second thoughts about their decision.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was originally performed by a British singer named Cher Lloyd. The Kidz Bop version of the song is a cover of her original hit. Another interesting fact is that the song was written by Savan Kotecha, who has also written songs for artists like Ariana Grande, One Direction, and The Weeknd. "Want U Back" was also Lloyd's first solo single and became a top 20 hit in both the UK and the US. The Kidz Bop version of the song was released in 2012 as part of Kidz Bop 22.

Hey, boy you never had much game
You were never really that smooth with me
So I needed to upgrade
I wanted someone better than you
So I went and walked away-way-way
So I broke up with you
Now I seen you been hanging out
Now I see you hanging out
With that other girl in town
With that other girl around
Looking like a pair of clowns-clowns-clowns
You two look ridiculous together
Remember all the things that you and I did first
We did these things together first
And now you're doing them with her
And now you're doing them with someone else
You got me got me like this
You've left me feeling this way
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And now you're going to every restaurant with her
And everywhere we went, come on!
And everywhere we used to go, come on!
You got me got me like this
You've left me feeling this way
Boy you can say anything you wanna
You can say whatever you want
I don't give it on, no one else can have you
I don't care, no one else can have you
I want you back, I want you back
I want you back
Want want you, want you back
I really want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be crying
I thought you'd be upset when I broke up with you
Now I feel so bad, looking at you flying
Now I feel guilty watching you move on
Please, this ain't even jealousy
I'm not even jealous
She ain't got a thing on me
That other girl doesn't compare to me
Tryna rock them ugly jeans-jeans-jeans
She's trying to wear those ugly jeans
You clearly didn't think this through
You obviously didn't think about this
If what I've been told is true
If what people say is true
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
You'll be crying and crawling back to me
Ooh, ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
I thought you'd still belong to me
When I kissed you goodbye uh-oh uh-oh
When I said goodbye to you
And you might be with her
And you might be with someone else
But I still had you first uh-oh uh-oh
But I was the first one to have you
Yo,
Hey,
Do I sound like a helicopter?
Am I talking too much?
Brr
