Number One Fan
Muna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody likes me and I'm gonna die alone
In my bedroom
Looking at strangers on my telephone
Well, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you like if I believed those words?
If I'm born to lose
I'll never try and I will never learn but
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now, don't leave me now"
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now" and I turn around like
"Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan"
So here's the bad news
I'm coming for everyone and coming on strong
New hair and new shoes
Yeah, I get what I like because I do what I want
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now, don't leave me now"
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now" and I turn around like
"Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan"
Number one, number one
Number one, number one
In the thick of it
Will you stick up for me?
In the thick of it
Are you gonna believe that I can do it?
Love me in the way that only you can
Be my number one, number one
"Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan
Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan"
Number one, number one
Number one, number one
In "Number One Fan", Muna sings about feeling isolated and rejected, but also about the power of fandom and the lengths people will go to show their devotion. The first verse illustrates the singer's feeling of loneliness and how social media only serves to make her feel more disconnected. She sees others living their lives and having fun, but she is stuck in her room feeling hopeless. However, despite the negative thoughts consuming her, the singer is determined to fight and not let them take over. The chorus then sets in with an upbeat and lighthearted melody, revealing the singer's love for a particular person or artist. She declares herself to be their "number one fan" and is willing to do anything to be close to them, even going as far as dying for them. The second verse brings her aspirations and ambitions to the forefront as she declares her newfound confidence and proclaims her willingness to achieve her dreams.
The bridge then acts as a plea to the reader, asking whether they will be there for her when things get tough and whether they believe in her ability to succeed. The tone switches to vulnerable and evokes the need for human connection, dovetailing from the earlier theme of loneliness. The chorus then returns, emphasizing the singer's devotion to the person she admires.
Overall, "Number One Fan" is a song about reclaiming power, finding confidence, and showing love in different ways- via fandom, self-expression, and interpersonal connections.

So I heard the bad news
I heard some unpleasant news
Nobody likes me and I'm gonna die alone
I feel nobody is fond of me and I'll not have a partner in life
In my bedroom
I am in my room
Looking at strangers on my telephone
I'm staring at unknown people on my phone
Well, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you do the same?
Wouldn't you like if I believed those words?
Wouldn't you enjoy it if I believed those negative words?
If I'm born to lose
If I'm destined to fail
I'll never try and I will never learn but
I'll never make an effort, and I won't improve
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
I've been gazing at my reflection, and repeating
"Don't leave me now, don't leave me now"
"Stay with me now, stay with me now"
And I turn around like
Then I rotate to face the mirror
"Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
"Oh my God, I'm your biggest admirer
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I compare you to iconic, famous people like an obsessive fan
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I would sacrifice everything for a chance to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I am your top supporter
I'm your number one, number one fan"
I'm your ultimate supporter
So here's the bad news
Here comes more negative news
I'm coming for everyone and coming on strong
I plan to confront everyone and be aggressive
New hair and new shoes
I have a new hairstyle and new shoes
Yeah, I get what I like because I do what I want
I'm self-centered and do anything I desire
In the thick of it
During difficult times
Will you stick up for me?
Will you defend me?
Are you gonna believe that I can do it?
Do you have faith in my abilities?
Love me in the way that only you can
Love me the way only unique to you
Be my number one, number one
Be my top supporter, ultimate supporter
