Rebound
Soraya Arnelas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, Mr January, you still here?
Another resolution that I broke this year.
Made it into february-valentines but your flowers already died.

Baby, baby, it's not a love thing.
I'm not mad about it.
Just getting even on it.
Baby, baby, it's not a love thing.
I'm not mad about it.

You think you got me but I got you beat.
Getting nasty first will make the last word taste so sweet.
Gonna burst your bubble, boy, you're going down.
Pop, Pop, the sound... get you back on the rebound.

Baby, listen to what I'm about to say.
Little miss impatience is my middle name.
And if sometimes doesn't fit when I try it on.
Tell me why should I take it home?

Baby, Baby, it's not a love thing.
I'm not mad about it.
Just getting even on it.
Baby, Baby, it's not a love thing.
I'm not mad about it.

You think you got me but I got you beat.
Getting nasty first will make the last word taste so sweet.
Gonna burst your bubble, boy, you're going down.
Pop, Pop, the sound... get you back on the rebound.

I'm armed and dangerous.
Shoot you with my little black dress.

On the rebound rebound.
I'm hear to rub it in.




It's gonna end where I begin.
Rebound.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soraya Arnelas's song “Rebound” tell the story of a woman who feels empowered after being disappointed in a romantic relationship. The song begins addressing “Mr January” with a question if he’s still around, implying that he may have been a resolution for the new year that didn’t work out. Then, the singer admits that roses from the previous Valentine’s Day are already dead, highlighting that her relationship hasn’t been fulfilling. She then repeats that “it's not a love thing” and that she is not angry about it, but she is simply getting even. The chorus repeats the same line twice, and in it, Soraya emphasizes taking control of the situation: “You think you got me, but I got you beat/ Getting nasty first will make the last word taste so sweet.”


The second verse portrays the singer as impulsive and impatient, saying that “little miss impatience is my middle name”. It ends in a rhetorical question asking why the relationship should continue if it doesn’t quite fit. The song's bridge signals that the singer is armed and dangerous, and that she'll use her “little black dress” as ammunition. Ultimately, the song seems to be about someone who may have been taken advantage of in a relationship, but is now confident enough to take charge and find someone who will treat them better. “Rebound” offers empowerment and vindication for anyone who has ever been hurt in a romantic relationship.
