Step Aside
Tessanne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, this is no disrespect,
No disrespect, brotherman
This is no disrespect, but could you
Step aside now, another girl wants to take over
Because you don't know what you've got
So now it's time to lose him.
Step aside now, let me show you how to treat your Man
He needs a tender touch
He needs loving, oh, so much
Now tell me are you crazy?
Leaving him for so long, oh, so lonely
Now he's weary, so you better protect him
Because when your feeling blue, and you don't know what to do
he will comfort you
he's a dream come true
he will be your friend when you think that it's the end
he's always around
Always around.
Step Aside now, another man wants to be the ruler
Because you don't know what you've got
And now it's time to lose her
Step aside now, let me show you something about your man
he needs a tender touch
he needs loving, oh, so much
Now tell me are you crazy?
Leaving her alone, oh, so, lonely
Now he's weary, so you better protect him
Because when your feeling blue, and you don't know what to do
he will comfort you
he's a dream come true
he will be your friend when you think that it's the end
he's always around
Always around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tessanne Chin's song "Step Aside" are powerful and thought-provoking. The singer addresses an unidentified person, described as "brotherman," and offers a thoughtful critique of the way he treats his significant other. The chorus urges him to "step aside" and allow another girl to take over, because he doesn't seem to appreciate what he has.


The song is particularly concerned with the ways in which this guy seems to neglect his partner. Chin points out that he needs a "tender touch" and "loving" in order to feel appreciated and cared for. She also reminds him of all the positive things about his partner, describing her as a "dream come true" who will be there to comfort him in difficult times. The overall message is clear: this guy is taking his partner for granted, and he needs to step up his game before he loses her for good.


What makes "Step Aside" particularly interesting is the way that Chin blends different musical influences to create a unique sound. The song draws on reggae, rock, and pop, blending a driving beat with catchy guitar riffs and soulful vocals. This makes for a memorable and powerful track that stands out from other contemporary pop songs.
