Front Seat
Rayne Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He makes you sit in the backseat
When his boys call shotgun
The type of guy looking for the next best thing
When he's already got one
I can tell he takes you for granted
But you're the prettiest thing on the planet
I ain't saying you belong with me
But you belong in the front seat of any car
You should be the DJ singing like a rockstar
You shouldn't be alone in the back, baby you're better than that
You belong on the right side of the right guy
That puts you first 'cause you're the grand prize
And I ain't saying you belong with me
But you belong in the front seat

He said, "Not tonight baby, can't make it"
Yeah you know, you should'a known
You curled your hair and wearing that new dress
That he'll never lay his eyes on
You can tell he doesn't need you
The world in front of him, you're in the rear view
I ain't saying you belong with me

But you belong in the front seat of any car
You should be the DJ singing like a rockstar
You shouldn't be alone in the back, baby you're better than that
You belong on the right side of the right guy
That puts you first 'cause you're the grand prize
And I ain't saying you belong with me
But you belong in the front seat

You know it's getting harder
And it's like you're drowning in the water
And it feels like you need a new life
You could hop in the front seat of my heart
Anywhere, anytime that you want
You could be my queen sitting on your throne
Girl, you know you got one

You belong in the front seat of my car
You could be the DJ singing like a rockstar
You'd never be alone in the back
Girl, I'll treat you better than that
You belong on the right side of my right arm
Falling asleep when the ride's long
And Lord, I'm praying that it could be me





Riding with you in the front seat
Girl, you belong in the front seat, yeah

Overall Meaning

In Rayne Johnson's song "Front Seat," the singer urges the woman he admires to leave her current boyfriend and be with someone who will treat her better. The chorus focuses on the fact that the woman is always relegated to the back seat when her boyfriend's friends are around. Johnson sees this behavior as a sign that the boyfriend doesn't value her and doesn't prioritize her needs. He encourages her to consider what she deserves and not settle for someone who takes her for granted.


Throughout the song, Johnson paints a picture of what the woman's life could be like if she were with someone who understood her worth. He imagines her as the DJ while they are out together, singing like a rockstar and fully engaged in the moment. He wants her to feel valued and appreciated, not alone and ignored in the back seat. He ends the song by offering himself as an option, telling her that she belongs in the front seat of his car, where he will treat her like royalty and put her needs first.


Overall, "Front Seat" is a song about recognizing your worth and not settling for someone who doesn't prioritize you. Johnson's lyrics are compelling and relatable, and the upbeat melody makes it easy to sing along and feel empowered.

I met Rayne back in 2019 and he was so humble and friendly. Wishing all the success for him!

I just heard this today riding home from work. Holy crap. Blown away, never knew that R&B and country could mesh so well. This song is really good. I could see someone doing a mash-up with a rap verse in the middle of it. Gotta rewind to listen to it again.

@teresahall8377

I had the opportunity to play this for my granddaughters and then tell them they should never, ever let anyone put them in the backseat, degrade them, or make them feel any other way but queen. Thank you so much for this song!
