Overall Meaning

The song "Selfish Love" by Mabel & Kamille talks about a tired and frustrated person who is done with selfish love and is ready to put in the work to create a more balanced relationship. They want to work together to build up each other, instead of focusing only on their own pleasure. The lyrics express a desire for mutual appreciation and give-and-take in a romantic relationship.


The first verse highlights the selfishness of a partner who is only interested in receiving love and attention, but not in giving it back. The chorus emphasizes the need for both partners to contribute equally to maintain a healthy relationship. The second verse urges the partner to stop playing games and be ready to explore new things together. The bridge brings together the idea of giving and taking, with the suggestion that both partners need to let go of their selfishness to create a stronger bond.


Overall, the song encourages a more balanced and giving approach to love, where both partners work together to meet each other's needs.
