The song samples the legendary R&B group H-Town’s hit “Back Seat With No Sheets”.
The song features Ty Dolla $ign and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, along with continued contributions from DJ Drama like in Tyler’s previous single, “LUMBERJACK.”
The music video, which was released on June 22, 2021 before the release of CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, previewed a portion of the song and features the same couple from the “SWEET / SIDE STREET” video.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby
Oh nah, we don't do backpack
Haha, my pick up line and shit (come on)
I got your bitch movin' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Call me when you get lost
Aw, you look malnourished (malnourished)Let's get some bread, fry the egg yolk and drown it in syrup (drown it in syrup)
You pick a spot, I pick a tail number and we can be tourists (oh yeah)
Let's go to Cannes and watch a couple indie movies that you never heard of (baby)
Listen to bands, groove and we dance
Disco in France, smell some perfume, head in the wind (head in the wind)
We can switch off
I can show you how you can really exfoliate skin
If you got a man, you should cut it off
Get your passport 'cause we runnin' off (run off)
We can sit and talk
You can tell me everything that's on your chest, baby, get it off
You are my type, you a bright light
I'm like a moth, this is not a game (this is not a game)
But before we start (before I say)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Check it out)
(Oh, what's your name?)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Tell me)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Check it out)
(Oh, what's your name?)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Oh, girl)
Yeah
What is your name, what do you bring? (Yeah)
I think that I got what you need
And I'm willin' to do anything that you please (baby)I'm tryna get down to the root of the apple
The deepest I could in them jeans
Mclaren, like Sonic, can't speed, no
No, you can't hit my lean, no (baby)
Baby, tell me where the peace go, 'cause I'm lost
Your body compared to the fashion
I hope you ain't proud of the shit that I bought (baby)
'Cause money, it don't mean a thing
I tell you the times that I take you out
One minute, it's a beautiful scene
Then it probably end with me bein' took off, whoa
Think slow, 'cause I move fast (oh, me)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Check it out)
(Oh, what's your name?)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Tell me)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Tell me)
What's your name, girlfriend, what's your name? (Yeah, yeah, ohh)
Yeah
Since when did I bring a C5? (I wanna know your name)
I feel like I had your name
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
Stop playin' and let me pay your momma debt off
In "WUSYANAME," Tyler the Creator is expressing his interest in a woman who he would like to get to know better. He starts by suggesting that they do something "real" together, insinuating that he's only interested in genuine connections rather than superficial flings. He then uses various pick-up lines and scenarios to woo her, suggesting they go on a trip to Cannes, watch indie movies and listen to music together. Tyler even offers to give her some beauty tips and advises her to break off any relationships she may have.
Tyler is clear in his intentions- he wants to know her name and figure out what she brings to the relationship. He admits that he may move fast and asks her to think slowly before deciding to be with him. In the last verse, Tyler switches up the lyric patterns to ask some questions about his own past and the objects in his life before requesting that she stop playing around and let him pay for her mother's debts.
Overall, the song is about genuine human connection and how Tyler is looking for it through the woman he's interested in.

Lyrics
In California
You Spend Most Of Your Life In Cars
Moving, Traveling
Searching For Somewhere To Land
I Don’t Mind Tip-Toeing
Across The Globe For Thrills
And Flying To Vienna
To See A Show At The Kunst Museum
Or Heading South To Race Dolphins On Jet Ski
But This Time I Ended Up In *
Looking For This Brioche My Boy Told Me About
(What’s Your Name, What’s Your Name..)
That’s When I Met ‘She’
Something Real
Baby
Hold On Now, We Don’t Do That Back
Haha, My Pick Up Line And Shit
I Got Your B*Tch Moving
Call Me When You Get Lost
Aw, You Look Malnourished (My Way)
Let’s Get Some Bread
Fry The Egg Yolk And Drown It In Syrup
(Drown It In Syrup)
You Pick A Spot
I Pick A Tail Number And We Can Be Tourists
Let’s Go To Cannes And Watch A Couple
Indie Movies That You Never Heard Of (Baby)
Listen To Bands, Groove And We Dance
Disco In France, Smell Some Perfume
Head In The Wind (Head In The Wind)
We Can Switch Off
I Can Show You
How You Can Really Exfoliate Skin
If You Got A Man
You Should Cut Him Off
Get Your Passport
‘Cause We Running Off (Run Off)
