Overall Meaning

The song “What Am I” by Vitamin A is a modern take on the classic 80s hit “I Know What Boys Like” by The Waitresses. The lyrics depict a confident and empowered woman who knows what guys want and how to utilize this knowledge to her advantage. The opening lines, “boys boys, hey you wanna know something? b-b-boys boys, boys like girls,” set the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the idea that boys are drawn to girls and crave their attention. The chorus repeats that the singer knows what boys like and has what they want, adding an element of seduction to the lyrics.


The second verse further emphasizes the singer’s control over the boys, describing how she enjoys teasing them and frustrating them with her cat-like movements and clothing choices. The bridge of the song offers a slight change in tone, suggesting that the singer may let the special boy she’s interested in touch her or have what he wants, but ultimately reverts back to the confident and all-knowing attitude of the rest of the lyrics.


Overall, “What Am I” encourages confidence and empowerment in women, celebrating their ability to captivate and control men.
