Overall Meaning

Ne-Yo's hit song "Miss Independent" is a celebration of successful and independent women. The song opens with the singer's admiration for the way the woman in question moves, though he cannot quite articulate what it is that sets her apart. The first verse describes how the woman has a sense of authority and self-sufficiency, walking and talking like a boss, and taking care of her appearance. In the chorus, Ne-Yo praises Miss Independent's ability to make decisions for herself and the fact that she does not rely on anyone else to get by. He loves her because she has her own thing going on and doesn't need him to validate her existence.


The second verse builds on this idea as Ne-Yo sings about how Miss Independent has accomplished so much on her own, without needing anyone else's help. She pays off her car and home loans herself and always pays her bills on time. Ne-Yo admires her confidence and strength, and he finds himself drawn to her because she is the kind of woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it. The bridge emphasizes that Miss Independent is everything the singer needs in a partner, and he knows that she can steal his heart if given the chance.

Imagine being described like this. No sexual intentions, just pure admiration of a guy to a woman who can carry herself independently. And the fact that the women in the video aren't half naked or exposing their butts. 😍

@ryanmcconnell9003

Yeah I recon he's gay too 😂😂

@tominrochester

Sure, but let's be honest- the women in this video were cast based on their looks (minus the dancers, obviously).

@Animelifeever24
