Little Mix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back then boy, ya didn't even notice me
Why now, you trying to get a hold of me
We never even spoke so what makes you think you know me?
It's funny how the tables turn
I'm sitting back baby watching you burn
No regrets, it's a lesson learned
About time that I let you know
My ride and I assume control
You blew it baby years ago
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Your voice dropped, you thought that you could handle me
You played me, but now you trying to holla me
You're washed up and now I'm in a different league
Trying way too hard and I don't need your flattery
Now, it's funny how the tables turn
I'm sitting back baby watching you burn
No regrets it's a lesson learned
'Cause what you think ain't my concern
About time that I let you know
My ride and I assume control
You blew it baby years ago
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Hey
You didn't want me it took too long
You didn't want me and now I'm gone
Oh what a shame baby now I'm grown, oh
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
The lyrics to Little Mix's song Grown are about the power of growth, moving on from past relationships, and the confidence that comes with finding oneself. The song begins with the singer addressing someone who used to be a "frenemy" and who never paid attention to them before. The singer questions why this person is now trying to reach out to them, and asserts that they don't truly know who the singer is. As the chorus repeats, the singer declares that they are now grown, can hold their own, and can't be caught up in someone's past mistakes.
The second verse continues to address this person, revealing that they had mistreated the singer in the past and are now trying to make amends. However, the singer has moved on and is no longer interested in being involved with someone who is "washed up" and trying too hard for attention. Through the repetition of the chorus, the singer makes it clear that they are now in control and cannot be bothered with the games of the past.
Overall, Grown is a track that promotes self-confidence and independence. The message is that people are not defined by their past experiences, and that it is important to recognize one's growth and move forward.

It's funny how the tables turn
The situation has changed in a surprising way
I'm sitting back baby watching you burn
I'm observing you suffer the consequences of your actions
No regrets, it's a lesson learned
I have no regrets because I learned a lesson from the experience
'Cause what you think ain't my concern
I'm not concerned about what you think
About time that I let you know
It's time for me to inform you
My ride and I assume control
I take control of my life and decisions
You blew it baby years ago
You missed your chance a long time ago
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
You can't be with me now that I'm mature and independent
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
I am an adult now, don't you know
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
I can take care of myself, you missed your chance with me
Your voice dropped, you thought that you could handle me
You thought you could control me because your voice got deeper
You played me, but now you trying to holla me
You tricked me before, but now you're trying to pursue me
You're washed up and now I'm in a different league
You're not relevant anymore and I have moved on to a higher level
Trying way too hard and I don't need your flattery
You're trying too hard to impress me and I don't need your compliments
Hey
An interjection used to catch someone's attention
You didn't want me it took too long
You didn't want me before and now it's too late
You didn't want me and now I'm gone
I moved on because you didn't want me
Oh what a shame baby now I'm grown, oh
It's a shame that you missed your chance now that I am mature
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
You can't be with me now that I'm mature and independent
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
I am an adult now, don't you know
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
I can take care of myself, you missed your chance with me
Grown now, grown now
I am mature now
