The song "Recognize" by PARTYNEXTDOOR features lyrics about a relationship between a man and a woman who both have other sexual partners. The chorus repeats the lines "You got niggas and I got bitches," emphasizing the fact that neither of them is fully committed to the other. However, the singer expresses a desire for the woman, saying "I want you to turn up on me every night when I see you," and encourages her to recognize their connection.
The verses of the song touch on themes of wealth and materialism, with references to money and expensive cars. The singer boasts about rolling with "skunk" (a slang term for marijuana) and not caring about the other men in the woman's life. However, he also demonstrates a romantic side by promising to do things for her that other men won't and remembering small details about her life.
