Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh God
Whoa

Lookin' at your last text
Damn did you even really mean it?
Did you even look through it, did you even read it?
I been breakin' up with girls since I was 15
It's the only thing that hasn't got easier
A rubber is the only thing that ever came between us
God damn, now look at everything in between us
I mean I'm sayin' I got more liquor
More ladies, more drugs and no cases
With jobs and no babies
I hope no phone saving and if so you gon' hate me

When you see me standing on the couches
Turnin' clubs into houses
Water to champagne fountains
Turn flat chests into mountains
And ooh I love that ass
But I hate that fucking outfit
I'm taking off her blouses
While she take off my trousers
That's just a couple more problems
To add to the couples' counselin'
Open that shit wide
Let me see how big your mouth is

Let me see how big your mouth is

Goin' hard 'til I OD
I'm the newest version of the old me
All my exes are old me
Wishin' they could X and O me
I'm on the edge and I'm hangin' all off
On the ledge and we danglin' off
And if I let go, I won't fall off
If we set a wedding date, don't call off
Bartender, I call the shots
We call for shots, y'all call the cops
Sometimes drinks speak louder than words do
Body language speaks louder than verbal

And we see me standing on the couches
Turnin' clubs into houses
Water to champagne fountains
Turn flat chests into mountains
And ooh I love that ass
But I hate that fucking outfit (I do)
I'm taking off her blouses
While she take off my trousers
That's just a couple more problems
To add to the couples' counselin'
Open that shit wide
Let me see how big your mouth is (oh)

Let me see how big your mouth is

This goes out to, uh




You know who this goes out to
Yeah!

Overall Meaning

The song "Open Wide" by Calvin Harris featuring Big Sean is about the struggles and complexities of relationships. The first verse goes into the doubts and uncertainties that can come from a text message. The singer questions if the message was genuine and if the person even read through it before sending it. The second half of the verse takes a nostalgic turn, as the singer reflects on his past experience with breakups, highlighting how difficult it can be. The singer mentions that the only thing that ever "came between us" was a rubber, alluding to a previous sexual relationship. However, despite the distance and growth, the singer boasts about his current lifestyle with "more liquor, more ladies, more drugs, and no cases," showing a shift from past relationships.


The chorus is all about going hard and living life to the fullest. The singer describes standing on couches, turning clubs into houses, and turning flat chests into mountains. The line "let me see how big your mouth is" can be interpreted in various ways, but it likely refers to wanting to see someone's capability and enthusiasm for experiencing life. The second verse reinforces this notion with the singer describing how he's the "newest version of the old me," and all his exes are wishing they could have him back. The climax of the song comes with the lines "If we set a wedding date, don't call off/Bartender, I call the shots," which emphasizes the idea that the singer is not afraid to take risks and live in the moment.


Overall, "Open Wide" delves into the complexities of modern relationships, the desire for excitement and living life to the fullest, and the difficulties of past experiences.
