Love Myself
Qveen Herby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Catchin' all the feelings, ah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I love you more than I love myself, boy
And I love myself way too fucking much
Don't you play with me
I love you more than I love myself, boy
And my love for you, caught it from the jump

Huh, huh, huh
Hold up, easy on the syrup
We've been goin' a while
Is it time to cut the butter on a couple items?
'Cause I know you gonna slip on me a couple of times
Spark
Will you burn for another lover?
I don't wanna waste time, but my flame's high
Don't wanna put the lifesaver down, 'til it's safe to drown
Everything you're sayin' got me out here lookin' for a meanin'
And I know it might be early, but I'm catchin' all the feelings
I forget that we are only human beings
You've been givin' me extraterrestrial readings (greetings)

I love you, I mean it if you do
Tell me we're sippin' the same brew
Hooked on the Kool-Aid, I'm thirsty for good news

I, I, I love you more than I love myself, boy
And I love myself way too fucking much
Don't you play with me
I love you more than I love myself, boy
And my love for you, caught it from the jump
I, I, I love you more than I love myself, boy
And I love myself way too fucking much
Don't you play with me
I love you more than I love myself, boy
And my love for you, caught it from the jump

What, what, what the fuck? I want you to show up
Would you throw me a bone?
I've been out here makin' lemonade with all your lemons
You would think by now I'd have learned a hundred lessons (1, 2, 3)
But I'm stupid with it
Cut, feel the burn of another scene (ow)
I don't wanna get mean on my sixteens
But you don't ever wanna listen to me
Won't you play
You've been givin' me extraterrestrial readings

I love you, I mean it if you do
Tell me we're sippin' the same brew
Hooked on the Kool-Aid, I'm thirsty for good news

More than I love, more than I love, more than I love myself
More than I love, more than I love, more than I love myself
(More than I love, more than I love)
More than I love, more than I love, more than I love my
(More than I love, more than I love)

I love you more than I love myself, boy
And I love myself way too fucking much
Don't you play with me
I love you more than I love myself, boy
And my love for you, caught it from the jump
I love you more than I love myself, boy




And I love myself way too fucking much
Don't you play with me

Overall Meaning

The song "Love Myself" by Qveen Herby is a confession of a woman who is in love with a man, but is aware that she loves herself more. The opening lines "Catchin' all the feelings, ah" indicate the intensity of emotions that she is experiencing. Despite her selfishness and self-love, she still loves the man more than she loves herself, which is a very high standard as she admits "And I love myself way too f*cking much." She is cautious of the man's actions and warns him not to play with her feelings. She also acknowledges that she caught the feelings from the beginning and has been swept away by her emotions.


The song continues to question the man's intentions and whether they both share the same feelings. The line "We've been goin' a while, is it time to cut the butter on a couple items?" indicates that they have been together for a while, and she is wondering if it's time to have a serious conversation about their relationship. However, she is afraid to take the first step as she is terrified of rejection, and she feels vulnerable when she opens up her heart to expose her feelings. The lyrics also mention that she wants to make sure he is the right one because she doesn't want to waste time.


Overall, "Love Myself" is a relatable song that explores the complex emotions that people feel when they are in love but struggle with self-love and insecurities. It is different from traditional love songs that only highlight the feelings of love from one perspective, as Qveen Herby demonstrates the internal battle between the love for oneself and for someone else.
