Congratulations
PewDiePie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

T-Series! (Yeah!)
It's your big day! (Woo!)
Incredible job!
I know we had our differences
But today, I just wanna tell you

A congratulations, it's a celebration
Party all day, I know you've been waitin' (here we go!)
A congratulations (woo!), it's a celebration
I just wanna tell you that I think that you're amazing

A congratulations to your corporation
Guess to beat one Swedish boy, you need a billion Asians
Yeah, you did it very nice, and all it took
Was a massive corporate entity with every song in Bollywood
Now you're at number one, hope you did nothing wrong
Like starting your business by selling pirated songs
Oops! Didn't think we'd see? It's right there on Wikipedia
Get used to your past being held against you by the media (uh oh)
I'm sure right now there's nothing that you're doing that's illegal, yeah
I'm certain that you haven't had collusions with the mafia
For legal reasons, that's a joke
For legal reasons, that's a joke
For serious, Indian mafia, please don't kill me, that's a joke
India, I'm sorry 'bout the memes, you're the best
I love my Indian Bros, from Bombay to Bangladesh
I'll take on all the world for you, I'm a heavy hitter
'Bout to cause a genocide so you can call me Hiโ€”

A congratulations, it's a celebration (oh!)
Party all day, I know you've been waitin' (oh yeah!)
A congratulations (woo!), it's a celebration (yeah!)
I just wanna tell you that I think that you're amazing

Congratulations (uh)
Congratulations (it's your big day! Woo!)
Congratulations
Congratulations (such a big day)

I got a letter in the post, hmm, what is this? (Hmm)
T-Series saying, "Cease and desist"
Had a problem with me telling them to hold their defecation
But let me educate you, silly, that's not defamation (woo)
T-Series can eat a dick (still not defamation)
Suck my fucking Swedish meatballs (still not defamation, yum)
Did you know that Indians have poo-poo in their brains?
That's a blatant racist lie
Yeah, but still not defamation! (Woo)
India got YouTube figured out, that's sick, son
How 'bout next you figure how to fix the caste system? (Oof)
Maybe all those ads will solve your crippling poverty
But looking at T-Series' past, I'm guessing not probably
But never mind the poor people, we just here to party
Just here to pop some bottles with the 9-Year-Old Army
Non-alcoholic 'cause I had a real problem
But we still out here living like we 'bout to kamikaze

So this is it, thanks for sticking with my channel
Ever since I was a nobody, screaming at barrels
Yeah, this is it, it's been an adventure
It's the end of the reign of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg
Through all the change and controversy, you've been by my side
There's no army in the world, I would rather give me watch time
It's been a wild ride, so while I can still be heard
Here's one last brofist from the number one in the world

A congratulations, it's a celebration (oh)
Party all day (skrra), I know you've been waitin' (yeet, party all day, yeah)
A congratulations (woo!), it's a celebration (oh)
I just wanna tell you that I think that you're amazing

Congratulations (oh, ooh hoo)
Congratulations (skrra-ta-ta, it's your big day!)
Congratulations (I'm fucking lit!)
Congratulations (such a big day!)
Oh yeah, yeah

Congratulations, T-Series! You did it!




Yatta desu ne
Hope that MeToo stuff doesn't severely affect your bottom line

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of PewDiePie's song Congratulations are directed towards T-Series, a company that produces music in India, as they became the most subscribed YouTube channel. PewDiePie and T-Series had previously been in a rivalry over the most subscribed YouTube channel for a while, with PewDiePie being the most subscribed individual channel before getting surpassed by T-Series. In the song, PewDiePie congratulates T-Series for their enormous achievement and success, despite their differences in the past. PewDiePie highlights T-Series' hard work and dedication to become number one on YouTube, and acknowledges their ability to maintain success by producing a continuous stream of Bollywood hits. At the same time, PewDiePie pokes fun at T-Series' shady past, accusing them of starting their business by selling pirated songs and past collaborations with the mafia, but reassures listeners that it's all just a joke. He also criticizes the Indian caste system and suggests that T-Series could help solve the poverty crisis in India by using the money they earn from YouTube.


The lyrics of Congratulations attracted controversy, as many interpreted it as disrespectful to India and Indian culture. The song resulted in a backlash on social media, with many people considering it racist or offensive. PewDiePie has since apologized and stressed that the song was meant to be a sarcastic and satirical commentary on the corporate world of YouTube.
