My Affection
Summer Walker & PARTYNEXTDOOR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See my teens flew by in a coach seat
Since we all grown up, you tryna show me
What you tryna do now, huh?
You played me once before
Now you feel like you want me
Back when I took off
I'ma trophy
Back when I wasn't nothin'
You was a trophy
Oh (no, no, no), yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh (no, no, no), yeah, yeah, yeah

Get it through your mind
Asked for all of this time
Asked for all my time
I still think you're fine, no, no, no
I got to tell you off (oh)
'Cause I know you know, hmm
Days gettin' longer
And drugs been gettin' hard to find
You can steal with these eyes
I won't change my mind (no)

Just because I'm all grown up (oh)
I already chose up (oh)
I was straight up tryna fuck (yeah)
Now I'm leadin' tours up
But I can't change my affection
And I can't change my attention (oh, whoa)
I don't think you know (I don't think you know)
I still want my goal (I still want my goal)
I still want my goal back (shh, shh, shh)
Come on, baby, throw that (shh, shh)
I'm still checkin' for my throwback

Since my teens go by in a coach seat
And since we all grown up, you tryna show me
What you was tryna do now (yeah)
You played me once before
Now you feel like you want me
Back when I took off
I'ma trophy
Back when I wasn't nothin'
You was a trophy
No (no, no, no, no), yeah, yeah, yeah
No (whoa, no, no, no, no), yeah, yeah, yeah
PARTY, yeah, PARTY
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

You used to want that nigga shootin' baskets in the post, yeah
Now you want the nigga with three M's so he reposts ya
WiFi on your phone make the long-distance seem closer
Oh, yeah, use to sit up in your bed thinkin' that I forgot ya
You still got it in your head that I'm super caught up, I'm not (ha, yeah, yeah)
When the Patrón on ice, you start to forget, yeah, yeah
You let everything on your chest get to your head, yeah yeah
Had a hard time turnin' twenty-five
(You had a hard time keepin' hope alive, but)

Just because I'm all glowed up
I already chose up (oh)
I was straight up tryna fuck
Now I'm leadin' tours up (oh)
I can't change my affection (I can't change)
I can't change my attention
I don't think you know (I don't think you know)
I still want my goal (I still want my goal)
I still want my goal back (goal)
Come on, baby, throw that (throw that)
I'm still checkin' for my throwback

Since my teens go by in a coach seat (in the coach seat)
And since we all grown up, you tryna show me (you tryna show)
What you was tryna do now (what you wanna do?)
You played me once before
Now you feel like you want me
Back when I used to take it
Now I'ma trophy
(Back) back when I wasn't nothin'
You was a trophy
No (no, no, no, no), yeah, yeah, yeah (back when)




Oh (whoa, no, no, no, no), yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Summer Walker's song "My Affection" seem to be about an ex-boyfriend who is trying to win her back. However, she is not interested in him anymore because he played her previously, and now she has "already chosen up." The former lover used to be a trophy, and she used to be nothing, but now the situation has changed, and they both want what the other has. The singer is still looking for her goal, and she can't change her affection or attention. She is a grown-up now, and her ex can't change the fact that she already moved on.


The lyrics seem to be about the dynamics of past relationships and how things change over time. The singer seems confident and empowered, and she knows what she wants. The refrain "I still want my goal" emphasizes that she has aspirations and is determined to achieve them no matter what.


The song picks up a party vibe towards the end, with an additional verse from someone else, and the repetition of the line "Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah" creates a celebratory feeling. The song blends R&B and hip hop styles and features Walker's distinct voice, known for its soulful and emotional quality.
