Overall Meaning

The song "What I Need" by Megan Thee Stallion is about a tumultuous relationship that is full of arguments and breakups, but ultimately the two parties can't stay apart from each other. Megan acknowledges that she can be a bit crazy and wild, but that her partner has been patient with her. She also feels confident that she knows her partner better than anyone else and can make him happy. Despite the ups and downs of their relationship, Megan still has love for her partner and is willing to go to great lengths to make things work.


The chorus of the song is particularly telling, as Megan sings about cutting her partner off when he leaves but then getting mad when he does leave. This implies that she may be trying to push him away as a defense mechanism but ultimately can't handle being apart from him. The lyrics also speak to a level of codependency, as Megan blows up her partner's phone to get what she needs from him.


Overall, "What I Need" is a catchy and fun song that touches on some deep themes about relationships and love.
