Other People
LP Lyrics

The song "Other People" by LP is about the end of a relationship and someone moving on to be with other people while the other person is left brokenhearted. The lyrics illustrate the pain of betrayal and the sheer disbelief that someone could throw away a relationship for casual affairs. The song's first two lines express the singer's frustration with being put in a situation she didn't expect; she didn't desire to come off as a hero, but her partner took their relationship down from great heights to nothing.

The singer details how her previous relationship was passionate and without any doubt or worry. She was confident in their love and what they had built together, but things changed when her partner broke the spell, wanting something else with someone else. The chorus makes it clear that the singer feels that her partner is treating her and their relationship poorly by being sexually promiscuous and disregarding the love they once shared. She tells her partner to go f*** himself with other people, indicating that she is done with him and done with the situation.

The song's bridge reinforces the idea that the singer is disgusted with her partner's behavior and how he is acting. She calls his body out as being the only thing that he is bringing to these relationships and that he is laying it on everyone. The singer acknowledges that the people her partner is with won't stick around when he realizes the gravity of his actions. The song's conclusion hammers the point home, with the singer telling her partner that she is finished with him and he can continue his sordid affairs with other people. The song is filled with pain, frustration, and disgust, making it an emotional and powerful piece of music.
