Get No Better
Serayah McNeill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who know what I'm talking 'bout?
Had a man who called you pretty at home
But never when he takes you out
Didn't want it, when you had it, admit it
And now you're like a light turned on
Didn't want it, when you had it, I get it
And I'm on fire
I'm like a spark in the darkside
You're like a deer caught in headlights
You got me wrong, but it's alright
Now I'm like oo-oo
See me up in the club, like woo-oo
Don't matter, I ain't worried 'bout you-oo
'Cause I left that girl behind
So let me introduce you
To the new and improved, brand new-oo
You din't want it, when you had it, that's cool-oo
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0
'Deuce you
To the new and improved, brand new-oo
You din't want it, when you had it, that's cool-oo
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0
Ohhh, na-na-na-na-na naa
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh ehh
Na-na-na-na-na naa ahh
I was a girl hanging on the side
But now I got that self esteem
I'm a burning phoenix about to rise
And Mama, I done got my wings
Didn't want it, when you had it, admit it
And now you're like a light turned on
Didn't want it, when you had it, I get it
And now you want me back, but I'm gone
And I'm on fire
I'm like a spark in the darkside
You're like a deer caught in headlights
You got me wrong, but it's alright
'Cause now I'm like oo-oo
See me up in the club, like woo-oo
Don't matter, I ain't worried 'bout you-oo
'Cause I left that girl behind
So let me introduce you
To the new and improved, brand new-oo
You din't want it, when you had it, that's cool-oo
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0
'Duce you
To the new and improved, brand new-oo
You din't want it, when you had it, that's cool-oo
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0
Ohhh, na-na-na-na-na naa
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh ehh
Na-na-na-na-na naa ahh
I was a girl hanging on the side
But now I got that self esteem
I was a girl hanging on the side
But now I got that self esteem
I'mma, I'mma
In "Get No Better 2.0," Serayah McNeill addresses the issue of men who don't value their partners and only appreciate them when they are gone. She talks about women who have had men call them pretty in private but never show them off in public. She acknowledges that some women don't appreciate a good thing until it's gone, and now they want it back, but it's too late. Serayah sings about how she used to be that girl who hung on the side, waiting for a man's attention, but now she has self-esteem, self-worth, and the courage to move on from someone who doesn't see her worth.
The chorus is a declaration of her newfound confidence and independence. She is a spark in the dark, fearless, and not worried about the man who didn't value her in the past. The phrase "1 to the 2, 2.0" represents her transformation from a person who was left hanging to someone who has moved on and improved herself. Serayah's final words in the song are an affirmation of her growth and self-discovery.

How many girls in the world right now
How many girls can relate to my experience?
Who know what I'm talking 'bout?
Who understands the feeling of being undervalued?
Had a man who called you pretty at home
Had a man who made kind remarks only in private situations
But never when he takes you out
But he won't acknowledge you in public
Didn't want it, when you had it, admit it
You didn't appreciate it when you had it, now you realize it
And now you're like a light turned on
Now you understand what you were missing
I get it, and now you want me back, but I'm gone
I understand, but it's too late for you to come back to me
And I'm on fire
I'm confident and passionate
I'm like a spark in the darkside
I shine brightly in any situation
You're like a deer caught in headlights
You're taken aback by my newfound confidence
You got me wrong, but it's alright
You misjudged me before, but it's okay
Now I'm like oo-oo
Now I'm feeling great
See me up in the club, like woo-oo
I'm having a good time and enjoying myself
Don't matter, I ain't worried 'bout you-oo
I'm not concerned about what you think or feel
'Cause I left that girl behind
I left behind the version of me that let others dictate how I should feel
So let me introduce you
Let me show you
To the new and improved, brand new-oo
To the more confident and self-assured version of myself
You din't want it, when you had it, that's cool-oo
You didn't appreciate me before, but that's okay
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0
I've grown and improved from the person I used to be
Ohhh, na-na-na-na-na naa
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh ehh
Na-na-na-na-na naa ahh
I was a girl hanging on the side
I used to be a passive observer of my own life
But now I got that self esteem
But now I have confidence in myself
I'm a burning phoenix about to rise
I am able to rise above the negativity and become stronger
And Mama, I done got my wings
And I've achieved my goal of gaining independence and self-reliance
I'mma
