Kat DeLuna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can buy me all these things,...
Like I'm some gold digger b
Like I don't support myself
My favorite color green, aha!
Even if I was broke, boy you couldn't get close to me!
The way you try to buy my time it's annoying me
You better find another way approaching me,
Chorus:
Mr. Hollywood, Mr. Hollywood
You'll never buy my love,
Cause you never have enough, no!
Mr. Hollywood, Mr. Hollywood
You'll never buy my love,
Cause you never have enough, no!
He doesn't get it, no!
The type of girl I am!
No, he's not used to get it
Boy, you're way out of your league!

So forget about it and try on another girl!
Cause I'll never be into guys like you, no!
Even if I was broke, boy you couldn't get close to me!
The way you try to buy my time it's annoying me
You better find another way approaching me,
Cause you're wrapped up, superficial, that don't work with me!
Chorus: (x2)
Mr. Hollywood, Mr. Hollywood
You'll never buy my love,
Cause you never have enough, no!
Mr. Hollywood, Mr. Hollywood
You'll never buy my love,

In Kat DeLuna's song "Mr. Hollywood," the artist makes a powerful statement against superficiality and gold digging. The lyrics speak to the idea that just because someone has money and material possessions does not mean that they are entitled to love or attention from others. DeLuna describes how the persona being addressed in the song is trying to buy her affections and time, but ultimately fails to do so because of his superficial and shallow nature. Despite his attempts to impress and woo her with material possessions, the persona cannot satisfy the deeper emotional needs that DeLuna seeks in a partner.
DeLuna makes it clear that she is an independent woman who can support herself, and her favorite color is green, possibly referencing money as the sole motivator in Mr. Hollywood's behavior. She asserts that money cannot buy true love and that she cannot be bought or manipulated by superficiality. The chorus repeats the title phrase "Mr. Hollywood," seemingly mocking the persona's attempts to impress with his wealth and status. Overall, the song delivers a message of empowerment and self-confidence in the face of materialistic and shallow individuals.
Line by Line Meaning
You can take me shopping,
You think you can impress me by buying me material things,
You can buy me all these things,...
But it won't make me like you more,
Like I'm some gold digger b
You're treating me as if I'm only interested in your money,
Like I don't support myself
When in reality, I am independent and can provide for myself,
My favorite color green, aha!
And just because you know one of my favorite things doesn't mean you really know me,
Even if I was broke, boy you couldn't get close to me!
Even if I had nothing, you still wouldn't stand a chance with me,
The way you try to buy my time it's annoying me
Your attempts to flatter me with material things are starting to bother me,
You better find another way approaching me,
If you really want my attention, you'll have to come up with a better approach,
Cause you're wrapped up, superficial, that don't work with me!
Because your superficial nature is not what I'm looking for in a partner,
Mr. Hollywood, Mr. Hollywood
Addressing the type of man she's talking about,
You'll never buy my love,
You can't purchase my affection,
Cause you never have enough, no!
No matter how much you try to impress me with your wealth, it will never be enough,
He doesn't get it, no!
The man in question doesn't seem to understand,
The type of girl I am!
That Kat DeLuna is not the type of woman who can be bought with money,
No, he's not used to get it
He doesn't understand that he can't be with someone like her just by buying her things,
Boy, you're way out of your league!
You're not even in the same category as me,
So forget about it and try on another girl!
So you should give up and try your luck with someone else,
