Bring It On
Scene Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m messy, I'm edgy!
They hate that I′m heavy!
I'm thriving, can't stop me!
These boys, they just copy!
More Courtney, more Poppy!
These scene girls, they got me!
Christina and Britney!
I′m Whitney!
Zach hit me!

Ahhhh!
Mama, she told me, "If you act polite"
"They′ll push you, and push you"
I guess she was right
So I'll pour me a drink, and I′ll take off my coat
Then smash it on the table, hold the glass to your throat
I double down!

Bring it on, bring it on!
I shut it down!
Bring it on!
Bring it!
Oh my God, Ronnie!

Ahhhh!
Bring it on, bring it on!
Bring it!
Bring it on, bring it on!

I'm messy, I′m edgy!
They hate that I'm heavy!
I′m thriving, can't stop me!
These boys, they just copy!
More Courtney, more Poppy!
These scene girls, they got me!
Christina and Britney!
I'm Whitney!




Don′t hit me!
Ahhhh!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scene Queen's song "Bring It On" convey the attitude of a young woman who is confident, fearless, and in control of her identity. She describes herself as messy and edgy, and acknowledges that some people dislike her because of her size or unconventional appearance. Despite this, she is thriving and refuses to let anyone hold her back. She references well-known female pop icons like Courtney Love, Britney Spears, and Whitney Houston to illustrate her own power and influence.


The chorus of the song, "Bring it on, bring it on!" serves as a challenge to anyone who wants to try and bring her down. She declares that she will "shut it down" and remains unafraid in the face of any obstacles or opposition. The bridge of the song seems to add some extra layers to the meaning, as the singer talks about her mother's advice to always be polite, but then decides to disregard that in order to assert herself. She becomes aggressive and a bit violent, smashing her drink on the table and holding the glass to someone's throat.


Overall, the song is a celebration of female strength, individuality, and power. It emphasizes the importance of not letting others determine your worth or identity, and encourages listeners to confidently own who they are.
