The song "Number 1" by Kanye West featuring Pharell is a love song that speaks to the ups and downs of relationships. The song starts off with a boastful intro proclaiming the fame and success of the artists. The lyrics then turn emotional, with Kanye addressing a lover with whom he's had a fight. He apologizes for not being able to spend more time with her and reassuring her that she's his number one, no matter what.
The chorus repeats the phrase "you're my number one" as a declaration of love and loyalty. The verses also touch on themes of trust, appreciation, and admiration. The second verse speaks to the importance of having a strong partner in a relationship, while the third speaks to the physical and emotional closeness achieved through intimacy.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a tribute to true love and the challenges that come with it, but still emphasizing the importance of perseverance and commitment.

pharrell is always ahead of time
@vladimirabreu6848
lol ahead of his time? this songs sound like anything the Jacksons would have done in the 70's
@user-qd6im2hp2e
@@vladimirabreu6848 it was a modern version of that
@IWantToBeInOVO
@@vladimirabreu6848 everyone's always going to have inspirations, Pharrell has stated many times in interviews he uses The Jacksons and Stevie Wonder as massive inspirations for his music and ideas. I think what the dude is trying to say is Pharrell has mixed his own personality and inspirations into something people havent really seen before in "modern time"
@malikedmond8398
Damn the mid 2000s held a special memory to me with songs like this
