Overall Meaning

In Lil Tecca's song "Left Right," the chorus centers around the idea that the singer is the reason why a girl's boyfriend has left her. The repetition of the phrase "left, right" mimics the motions of walking or dancing, which adds to the playful vibe of the song. The lyrics suggest that the singer is confident in his ability to take any girl he wants, and he is not afraid to let her boyfriend know it. He brags that he is the reason for the boyfriend's departure and describes how the guy took a step right when he claimed ownership over the girl.

The song also includes references to the singer's success and rising fame. He talks about his flashy fashion sense and the B.B. Simon belt he wears around his waist. He also hints at his talent and hard work, suggesting that his patience has paid off in his music career, and he knows the pursuit has taken some time. The interjections in the song, such as "Waist dancin'" and "Callin' my phone," add to the playful and boastful nature of the song.

Perhaps most interestingly, the song's chorus and hook are inspired by the popular dance craze earlier this year, the "Renegade" dance, which originated on TikTok. The song was first previewed on a popular TikTok user's profile, and it quickly went viral among the platform's userbase. From there, it became a hit single, cementing Lil Tecca's place as a rising rapper in the music industry.
