Like U
Lucys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember when I wanted to be like you
The walk, the talk, and all the funny things you do
But what if I'm already what I'm supposed to be
You don't know as much as you think you know about me
And all these people think they've got me figured all out
Just one small conversation and my mind's all sorted out
So try an tell me you know the time of day
Look into my soul, just keep your self control
And I never wanna be just like you
And every little thing that you do
We don't have to try just play it cool
And I never wanna be just like you
Be like you
Be like you
Now it's getting pretty hard to keep it all afloat
Staring in the mirror at someone "who's that" oh I don't know
So baby I'm already who I'm meant to be
Not sure if you know by know but it's clear to see
That I never wanna be just like you
And every little thing that you do
We don't have to try just play it cool
And I never wanna be just like you
Look at what you've done to me
Tell me who you're tryna be?
You were everything to me
Baby take a look at me




I'm finally who I'm meant to be
And now its time to be

Overall Meaning

In Lucy's song Like U, she reflects on her past desire to emulate someone else's behavior and personality. The lyrics suggest that she once wanted to be just like this person, imitating their walk, talk, and mannerisms. However, she now questions whether she is meant to be someone else altogether. Lucy asserts that others do not know her as well as they may think they do and that a single conversation can change people's perception of her entirely. She implies that people believe they have her all figured out when, in reality, they do not truly understand her. Despite this, the singer reassures herself that she is content with who she is and does not want to be just like the person she once idolized.


The lyrics suggest that the singer has come to terms with her own identity and is confident in herself. However, she still experiences moments of insecurity and doubt that is suggested in the lines, "Now it's getting pretty hard to keep it all afloat/ Staring in the mirror at someone 'who's that' oh I don't know." She continues to assert that she is not interested in emulating anyone else's behavior, even if it may be perceived as "cool" by others.


Overall, the song seems to be about self-discovery and acceptance. It highlights the importance of individuality and authenticity as opposed to conforming to societal norms or emulating someone else's behavior.
