What If
Pure NRG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if I was a cheerleader
What if I was the girl next door
What if I was a rock star
What if I was something more
What if I was an astronaut
What if I was stuck on the ground
What if I was the president
What if what if

What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything

What if I was a big time film star
What if I ran a restaurant
What if I found a cure for cancer
What if I got everything I want
What if I was a fashion model
What if I was a scientist
What if I was a super bowl quarterback
What if I had none of this

What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything

I think there's too many questions
Of how what we're supposed to be
I think there's just too much pressure
What if somehow everyone could see
What if what if doesn't matter oh oh
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
What if we could let the whole world see that

What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything

What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter




What if what if doesn't matter
With your love I can be anything

Overall Meaning

The song "What If" by Pure NRG is an uplifting and empowering anthem that encourages listeners to break free from societal pressure and expectations. The lyrics of the song pose several hypothetical scenarios, such as being a cheerleader, a rock star, the President, a scientist, or a fashion model. However, the repeated refrain in the song is "What if what if doesn't matter" which suggests that these hypothetical scenarios are not as important as the love that the singer feels for someone else. The message of the song is that one's identity and accomplishments are not as important as the love that one receives and that with love, one can be anything.


The song begins by posing several hypothetical scenarios that the singer could be - a cheerleader, the girl next door, a rockstar, or something more. Each scenario is a representation of societal expectations and pressures that many people face. The repetition of the phrase "What if what if doesn't matter" suggests that these scenarios are not as important as the love that one receives. This message is continued throughout the song as the singer poses more hypothetical scenarios such as being a big-time film star or finding a cure for cancer. The final verse of the song suggests that there is too much pressure on people to be a certain way and that if everyone could see that "what if doesn't matter," then there would be less pressure on individuals to conform.


Overall, the song is a testament to the power of love and the detriment of societal expectations. The singer is essentially saying that with love, one can be anything and that societal expectations should not make people feel less than they are. The song's message of empowerment is an important one, especially for young listeners who may feel pressure to fit into certain molds.
