Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the last three months, I've been thinkin' 'bout another bitch
Yeah-yeah, wouldn't you do the same?
They called me everything but my name
Even though it's the same thing that you do (that you do)
And you did (you did)
Everything you could do (could do) to forget (to forget)
And I (and I), I tried to forgive (I tried to forgive)
Never again (okay, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Better or for worse, I'ma always choose me first, you did, oh-ooh
Never again (ayy)
'Cause better or for worse, I'ma always choose me first, you did (oh)
Never again
And never again would I be
Be a subject of your pride (yeah)
I won't go public with all the lies
That's not worth it, oh-whoa
(Hmm), I gotta admit it (I gotta admit it)
For the last three months, I've been thinkin' 'bout another bitch
Yeah, yeah (and I'm asking), wouldn't you do the same?
They called me everything but my name
Even though it's the same thing that you do
And you did (you did)
Everything you could do to forget (to forget)
And I (and I), I tried to forgive (I tried to forgive)
But never (never), never (never) again
Never again
Better or for worse, I'ma always choose me first, you did, oh, my
Never again
The lyrics of PARTYNEXTDOOR's song "NEVER AGAIN" speak about a relationship that has gone sour and the artist's decision to prioritize himself moving forward. The opening lines express the artist's realization that he has been contemplating another woman for the past three months, implying that his thoughts have strayed from his current partner. He questions whether others would do the same in his situation and acknowledges the hypocrisy of being criticized for his actions when his partner has done the same. Despite attempting to forgive, the artist states that he will never again subject himself to the pain caused by this relationship. He affirms his commitment to choosing himself first, regardless of the circumstances, indicating a newfound sense of self-worth and a desire to break free from a toxic dynamic.
In the second verse, the artist emphasizes that he refuses to be the subject of his partner's false pride, suggesting that their relationship was built on lies and deception. He declares that he will not publicly expose these lies as it is not worth the trouble and emotional turmoil. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the artist's resolve to prioritize himself and never repeat the same mistakes again.
Overall, the song "NEVER AGAIN" explores themes of infidelity, self-discovery, and the importance of valuing oneself in a relationship. It conveys a sense of empowerment and self-realization as the artist makes the decision to break free from a toxic cycle.

Leaving a toxic, mentally abusive and manipulate relationship gives this song a whole different meaning, and this song gives me energies I struggle to find elsewhere.
"For better or for worse imma always put me first" is something I needed to hear and feel after this shit show of a relationship...

There's something so beautiful about this level of consciousness of 2020, too wise for our own good sometimes but a clear enough vision and soul to always be able to see the beauty in this maze. Your highs may not come AS often as they used to and thats okay because at least there is an unlimited amount of things keeping you from getting too low. Life is so fukn mysteriously wonderous
@mauricemcfee6505
