So What
Louis The Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody plays the fool
There's no point in wondering why people do what they do
It's alright to be confused
But don't lose sight of the truth
Girl, it's him, it's not you

So what if he don't call when he's supposed to
So what if he don't care
So what if when you cry he don't hold you
You don't need him to be there
So what if when you're mad he says you're crazy
You just make him insecure
No, you didn't lose the girl you used to be
You just let yourself get a little hurt

But so what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us
So what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us

And you don't have to be ashamed
For giving everything you got when they don't know what they have
Sometimes jumping ain't so safe
But when the parachute don't open, girl, don't feel so bad

'Cause, so what if he don't call when he's supposed to
So what if he don't care
So what if when you cry he don't hold you
You don't need him to be there
Oh, oh, oh
So what if when you're mad he says you're crazy
You just make him insecure
No, you didn't lose the girl you used to be
You just let yourself get a little hurt

But so what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us
So what
So what




So what
It happens to the best of us

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Louis The Child's "So What" are about accepting the fact that everyone goes through similar hardships in relationships, such as being mistreated or taken advantage of, and that it's okay to feel confused and hurt. The song uplifts the listener by assuring them that they didn't lose their true self in the process, but rather just allowed themselves to feel a little hurt. The repeated phrase "So what" is used to remind the listener to shrug off the negative experiences and move on.


The first verse talks about how everyone makes mistakes, sometimes hurting others unintentionally, but it's pointless to dwell on their actions. The second verse talks about how it's natural to feel insecure and question one's self-worth in a relationship, but it's important not to lose sight of the truth and remember that the way the other person treats you is a reflection of themselves, not of you. The chorus reinforces the idea of not needing someone who doesn't care enough about you and how it's okay to not be perfect or have everything under control. The bridge emphasizes the importance of taking risks and getting hurt because it's a natural part of life, and there's no need to be ashamed of it.


Overall, the song's message of finding self-worth and inner strength after experiencing betrayal or mistreatment resonates with many people and serves as a reminder to not let negative experiences define them.

This song is definitely speaking to the heart. Great beats as per.

This song speaks to me on another level man. I was in a relationship that was toxic...he promised he would work on the issues I told him about..I was also so open and communicative and then he never changed and kept promising over and over that it would change. Then get mad or annoyed that I was mad he kept doing things like hurt my feelings and made me feel insane.. so much gaslighting

Nextupnow

Been there. Really f**ks with your head. I’m sorry you went through that ❤️

I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder.

Yeah my ex was like this, always promising shit and never took action.

Jayna Io

You're not crazy, like the song says sometimes people don't know what they have
