In PARTYNEXTDOOR's song "CUFFED UP," the lyrics depict a late-night scene where the artist is expressing his commitment and attachment to his partner. The phrase "cuffed up" is a slang term that refers to being in a committed relationship, similar to the idea of being handcuffed to someone. The repetition of the line "Yeah, I'm cuffed up with my baby girl" emphasizes the artist's contentment and desire to be close to his significant other.
The lyrics also highlight the artist's willingness to prioritize his relationship over other aspects of his life, such as nightlife. He mentions that it's nighttime but there is no interest in engaging in the usual party scene. Instead, he prefers spending quality time with his partner, driving around in a convertible with his foot on the gas, signifying the freedom and excitement that can be found even in a simple and intimate setting.
The lyrics further show the artist's affection for his partner as he mentions fulfilling her desires by taking her to places she wants to go. He contrasts her desire to visit Barbados with the reality of taking her to Rodeo Drive, a high-end shopping district in Los Angeles. Despite this difference, the artist mentions that they are still together and that they are connected emotionally and physically.
