“Most insane out-of-body experience”
The track’s original release featured Chris Brown on the chorus. He was removed from the song in Donda’s 28 September 2021 update and was replaced by Ye’s vocals. This is likely due to fallout that ensued because Brown originally recorded a verse for the song, which was not used–he went on to complain on Instagram, simply stating:
“KANYE A WHOLE HOE”
While KayCyy retained a writing credit despite also being removed (from “Keep My Spirit Alive”), it is notable that Brown’s is stricken completely.
The original version marked the fourth collaboration between Ye and Brown, after Brown’s “Down” and “Deuces (Remix),” and Ye’s “Waves”.

Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better not hit me with a "H-E-Y"
It better be like "Hiiii" with a bunch of I's
Or "Heyyy" with a bunch of Y's
I, I lived a hundred lives, uh
So, that mean I had a hundred wives
And I am just simply high off life for the hundredth time
Should I really have bought the Burberry last Thursday?
Wear a different color jersey every Thursday
'Posed to meet in Malibu, you postin' pics in Jersey
Is to lay me or play me, a bigger flex though
'Cause you know you'd never live up to my ex, though
If we dive, it's the deep end, baby, let's go
I'll be gone by the weekend, baby, XO
Most insane out of body experience
And I repent for everything I'ma do again (I accept Him)
And I repent for everything I'ma do again
Thank You, thank You, thank You for Your mercy, make me new
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
I repent for everything that I'ma do again
Make me new again, make me new again, make me new again
Last night don't count, this mornin' don't count
If you take the ride, please don't close your eyes, uh
In a den of thieves, every man disguise, uh
Keep your mask on, keep it hanitized, uh
It's a rollercoaster, keep your hands inside, uh
Wanna bring your pain, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, uh
Did it for the fame, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
He gon' part the tides, He gon' part the skies, huh
When they start to lie, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
When they start to lie, 'member this advice, uh
What they vandalize, He'll evangelize, uh
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
Make me new again, make me new again
In the song "New Again" by Kanye West, he is acknowledging that he has made mistakes in the past and is seeking redemption. The first verse speaks to communication with a love interest and wanting genuine interaction with them rather than just a casual "hey." The lyric "I lived a hundred lives" could reference his experiences over time, including highs and lows, and the idea that he has had "a hundred wives" could mean that he has lived through so many different versions of himself over time. He also talks about not wanting to be curved or played and insists on being valued and respected.
In the second verse, he discusses regret and the concept of wanting to make amends for past mistakes. He acknowledges that he made a foolish purchase and recognizes the value of being responsible with his finances. He embraces change, like wearing a different color jersey every Thursday, while also calling out the person he is supposed to meet allegedly posting pics in Jersey instead. He ends the verse calling out that he has no interest in trying to compare himself to an ex-girlfriend which is a mature and healthy sentiment to have.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the need to be made new again, to start over and change for the better. Kanye is not only calling out his past behavior but is also asking for forgiveness and for the chance to be better in the future. By referring to "last night" and "this morning" as not counting, he's making it clear that he's changed as a person and wants to start anew. He wants to separate himself from his past sins by asking for mercy from a higher power, referring to God.
Overall, the song talks about Kanye's journey of growing and learning from past mistakes. The themes of regret, forgiveness, self-improvement and God are all present in the song.
