Love Yourself
Laura Zocca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart, oh, girl for goodness' sake
You think I'm crying on my own. Well, I ain't
And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care. I don't,
But you still hit my phone up
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back,
Maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job,
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know,
I'm better sleeping on my own
'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself
And when you told me that you hated my friends
The only problem was with you and not them
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
And tried to make me forget where I came from
And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care. I don't,
But you still hit my phone up
And, baby, I be movin' on
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back,
Maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job,
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know,
I'm better sleeping on my own
'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm
You should go and love yourself
You should go and love yourself
In Laura Zocca's song "Love Yourself," the lyrics tell the story of someone who has been mistreated in a relationship but is now moving on and realizing the value and importance of self-love. The first verse describes how the person's ex-partner did not treat them well and even used their name to get into clubs, causing the person to feel hurt. However, they also express that they are not crying about it and have decided to let go of any lingering feelings.
The second verse sheds more light on the toxic nature of the relationship, with the ex-partner being controlling and dismissive of the person's opinions and friendships. Despite not wanting to still care or be affected by their ex, the person acknowledges that they still receive calls from them. However, they also encourage their ex to work on themselves and love themselves, rather than relying on the validation of others.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of self-love and confidence, telling the ex-partner that if they are so obsessed with their appearance, they should focus on loving themselves rather than trying to win back the person they have lost. The song is a powerful anthem that promotes self-love and moving on from toxic relationships.

For all the times that you rain on my parade
You've ruined my mood so many times
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You're using my fame for your own benefit
You think you broke my heart, oh, girl for goodness' sake
You believe you've hurt me, but you're wrong
You think I'm crying on my own. Well, I ain't
I'm doing just fine without you
And I didn't wanna write a song
I didn't want to give you any kind of attention
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care. I don't,
I don't care about you anymore
But you still hit my phone up
You keep contacting me
And, baby, I be movin' on
I've moved on from you
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back,
You should be someone else and not try to come back to me
Maybe you should know that
I want you to understand this
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
Even my mother dislikes you, and she loves everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I don't want to admit that I made a mistake in choosing you
And I've been so caught up in my job,
I've been busy with my work
Didn't see what's going on
I didn't realize what was happening
But now I know,
But I understand now
I'm better sleeping on my own
I'm better off being alone
'Cause if you like the way you look that much
If you love yourself so much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
Then you should focus on loving yourself instead of needing someone else
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
And if you think I still want to be with you
You should go and love yourself
You should still learn to love yourself first
