The song is about being so heartbroken after the end of a relationship that you start to feel nothing inside of you anymore and that phase when your heart feels like it’s turned to ice. Despite Kim Petras' constant weekly release of singles starting with "Broken" in April to "Another One" in June, “Icy” was declared the first official single.

Kim Petras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never, ever felt stronger
Thought that we would last forever
Gave me something to believe in
Thought that you were all I needed
Look at me, I'm still breathing
I used to cry over you, baby
Now I got a ice cold heart
VVS' is the only kinda ice I want
Kinda funny how the money can't replace the love
So numb, I don't feel it inside me
So dumb, I believed you really liked me
'Cause of you, now my heart is so icy
Now I'm on a higher level
I ain't ever gonna settle
Plenty offers on the table
Baby, I don't even hate ya
Really, you did me a favor
Turned my heart into a glacier, yeah
I used to cry over you, baby
I've wasted all this time
Now I got a ice cold heart
VVS' is the only kinda ice I want
Kinda funny how the money can't replace the love
So numb, I don't feel it inside me
So dumb, I believed you really liked me
'Cause of you, now my heart is so icy
(Yeah, so icy, ah)
(Icy, yeah)
Now I got a ice cold heart
VVS' is the only kinda ice I want (ice I want)
Kinda funny how the money can't replace the love (replace the love)
So numb, I don't feel it inside me
So dumb, I believed you really liked me
'Cause of you now my heart is so icy
'Cause of you now my heart is so icy
(Yeah, ah, woah)
So numb, I don't feel it inside me
So dumb, I believed you really liked me
'Cause of you, now my heart is so icy

She acknowledges that the relationship may have ended for her good, as she is on a higher level and has more potential.
