Overall Meaning

The song "Laundromat" by Nivea feat. R. Kelly is about a woman who is fed up with her lying and cheating partner. She is doing her laundry and packing her bags to leave him. The conversation between Nivea and R. Kelly in the beginning of the song indicates that he is suspicious of her having someone else over but she calls him out on not taking care of his business. The chorus of the song talks about doing laundry and cleaning house, but it also conveys the idea of getting rid of the dirt and stains associated with a toxic relationship. In the second verse, Nivea tells R. Kelly that she is leaving him for good and that she is tired of his unfaithfulness. R. Kelly tries to apologize, but she is firm in her decision to end the relationship.
