Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
late night when you need my love
call me on my cellphone
late night when you need my love
and i know when that hotline bling
that can only mean one thing
and i know when that hotline bling
that can only mean one thing
had a reputation for yourself now
everybody knows and i feel left out
girl you got me down you got me stressed out
cause ever since i left the city you
started wouldnt listen going out more
glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
hanging with some girls ive never seen before
oh you used to call me on my cellphone
late night when you need my love
cal me on my cellphone
late night when you need my love
and i know when that hotline bling
that can only mean one thing
i know when that hotline bling
that can only mean one thing
ever since i left the city you
you and me, we just dont get along
you make me feel like i did you wrong
going place where you dont belong
ever since i left the city
you, you got exacty what you asked for
running out of pages in your passport
hanging with some girls ive never seen before
oh you used to call me on my cellphone
late night when you need my love
call me on cellphone
late night when you need my love
and i know when that hotline bling
that can only man one thing
and i know when that hotline bling
that can only mean one thing
The song "Hotline Bling" by Macy Kate is a cover of Drake's original version. The lyrics describe a situation where the artist's ex-lover used to contact her for affection in the middle of the night but stopped doing that after she left the city. The phrase "hotline bling" refers to the sound a phone makes when a call is coming through. According to the artist, the song is about trying to reconnect with someone who has moved on and realizing that they are now living a different lifestyle.
The first verse expresses the loneliness and longing that the artist feels after the breakup. She remembers the times when her ex would call her when he needed love and she is hurt that he does not do so anymore. She believes that the only time he contacts her is when he needs something, symbolized by the "hotline bling" sound. The second verse describes a scenario where the artist finds out that her ex has moved on and is now living a high life with other women. She feels left out and forgotten by him.
The chorus reiterates the notion that the "hotline bling" sound can only mean one thing - that the ex-lover wants affection. However, the artist realizes that this is not always the case, and sometimes the sound is just a reminder of what once was. In conclusion, Macy Kate's cover of "Hotline Bling" conveys the pain of a lost love and the difficulties of moving on.
