Overall Meaning

The song “Initially” by Princess Superstar is an eccentric representation of self-confidence and empowerment. The artist delivers this message through a combination of playful lyrics that have a refrain-like nature, rap verses, and electronic instrumentation that sets an upbeat tempo. The song’s lyrics exude the artist’s confidence, with various passages highlighting her talent, status, and experience. For instance, the line, “a million of me lookin back in the mall, price tag on my face like a whore, ice in my bag like D-I-O-R, built like a C-A-R” exemplifies her immense confidence as she boasts about her success and unbeatable beauty.


Additionally, “Initially” is a song that encourages listeners to take ownership of themselves and their abilities, using the hook ‘be like aaeeiioo’ to signify that individuals should adopt their authentic self because that is what makes them stand out. Though some of the lyrics may appear nonsensical (like the passage that seems to be a string of alphabetical letters), it is this randomness that makes the song somewhat of a satire of rap music and its frequent use of explicit language or braggadocious style.
