So What
The Lyrics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na na na na na na na na na na na na I guess I just lost my husband,
I don't know where he went,
So I'm gonna drink my money,
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope),
I got a brand new attitude and
I'm gonna wear it tonight,
I wanna get in trouble,
I wanna start a fight,

Na na na na na na na I wanna start a fight,
Na na na na na na na I wanna start a fight.

So, so what
I'm still a rock star,
I got my rock moves,
And I don't need you,
And guess what,
I'm having more fun,
And now that we're done,
I'm gonna show you tonight,
I'm alright,
I'm just fine,
And you're a tool,
So, so what,
I am a rock star,
I got my rock moves,
And I don't want you tonight.

(Uh check my flow, aw)

The waiter just took my table,
And gave it to Jessica Simps (shit!),
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy,
At least he'll know how to hit,
What if this song's on the radio,
Then somebody's gonna die,
I'm gonna get in trouble,
My ex will start a fight,

Na na na na na na na he's gonna start a fight,
Na na na na na na na we're all gonna get in a fight!

So, so what
I'm still a rock star,
I got my rock moves,
And I don't need you,
And guess what,
I'm having more fun,
And now that we're done,
I'm gonna show you tonight,
I'm alright,
I'm just fine,
And you're a tool,
So, so what,
I am a rock star,
I got my rock moves,
And I don't want you tonight.

You weren't there,
You never were,
You want it all,
But that's not fair,
I gave you life,
I gave my all,
You weren't there,
You let me fall.

No, no, no, no
I don't want you tonight,
You weren't there,
I'm gonna show you tonight,
I'm alright,
I'm just fine,
And you're a tool,
So, so what,
I am a rock star,
I got my rock moves,
And I don't want you tonight!

Overall Meaning

In The Lyrics's song "So What!!", the singer has just lost her husband and has no idea where he went. Instead of wallowing in self-pity and mourning the loss, she decides to use the money that she would have paid his rent with and drink it away. She has a new attitude and wants to get into trouble, start a fight, and prove to her ex-husband that she doesn't need him. She declares that she's a rockstar, and she's having more fun since the breakup. She's not going to let her ex-husband bring her down, and she's alright, just fine. She calls him a "tool" and makes it clear that she doesn't want him back.


The singer's self-assuredness and desire to let loose are evident in the song's lyrics. She wants to let loose, have fun, and prove to her ex that she's doing just fine on her own. She's going to show him that she's a rockstar and has no need for him or his opinion. This song stands out as an anthem for the underdog who triumphs over adversity, heartbreak, and allows it to fuel her confidence.

+Juliann Wickliffe Dear, this is changing/saving life music ... As usual, I check up on Utube and then, I purchase the record (an original or if too expensive - most of the time - the reissue).
