Born and raised in Oakland, California, Zendaya began her career as a child model and backup dancer. She made her television debut as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up (2010–2013) and starred as the titular character in the sitcom K.C. Undercover (2015–2018), for the channel. Her feature film debut came in 2017 with the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming, and she later starred in its sequels. Zendaya's role as Rue Bennett, a struggling drug-addicted teenager, in the HBO teen drama series Euphoria (2019–present) made her the youngest recipient of the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, which she won twice. Her film roles include the musical The Greatest Showman (2017), the romantic drama Malcolm & Marie (2021), and the science fiction epic Dune (2021).
In addition to her acting career, Zendaya has ventured into music. In 2011, she released the singles "Swag It Out" and "Watch Me", the latter a collaboration with Bella Thorne. She signed with Hollywood Records in 2012. Her eponymous debut studio album, Zendaya (2013), was released to moderate success. The album's lead single, "Replay", reached the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Zendaya's biggest commercial success as a musician came with her Zac Efron collaboration, "Rewrite the Stars", from The Greatest Showman (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) in 2017. The single reached within the top 20 of several record charts and has received multi-platinum sales certifications globally.
Having already collaborated with Labrinth on the song "All for Us" for Euphoria's first season, in 2022 Zendaya co-wrote two songs ("I’m Tired (with Zendaya) - Bonus Track" and "Elliot's Song") for the second season, also performing as a vocalist on the former. Receiving continued acclaim for her performance as Rue, the second season of Euphoria earned her four Emmy nominations. Nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama for the second time, she became the youngest two-time nominee in Emmy history, while her nomination as an executive producer for Outstanding Drama Series made her the youngest woman ever nominated for producing. She received two nominations for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for her lyrical contributions to the show's soundtrack. In 2023, Zendaya won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama at the 80th Golden Globe Awards and received a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination.
On April 22, 2023, during the second weekend of Coachella 2023, Zendaya joined Labrinth in a surprise performance of "All for Us" and "I'm Tired", which marked her return to the stage in 8 years. She was featured on the opening song "The Feels" of Labrinth's third album Ends & Begins.
Too Much
Zendaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Steppin' out the door, there waiting on for something to happen like oh yeah
Brush up on the scene like where in about a magazine like oh yeah
Souped up from head to toe
Keep yours, we got out own
Can't tell us nothin'
Oh we do what we want like oh yeah
Cause we gonna get it poppin' poppin'
You say we killin' it? stop it stop it
Baby we're too much, much to handle
Understand it when we turn it up
Too much, much to handle
Yeah we're just too much
Can you get it?
You don't get it babe
You'll never gonna get it babe
(Here we go)
Hey hey hey hey
Baby we're too much, much to handle
Understand it when we turn it up (Haha) [Wooo]
Too much, much to handle (Hey)
Yeah we're just too much (One time now)
Baby we're too much, much to handle
Understand it
Yeah we crank it up (Get funky with it)
Too much, much to handle (Hey)
Yeah we're just too much (Too much)
Can you get it?
You don't get it babe
You'll never gonna get it babe
(Never gonna get it babe)
In Zendaya's song Too Much, the singer is exuding confidence and independence. She is stepping out of the door, brushing up on the scene and waiting for something to happen with an "oh yeah" attitude. Zendaya asserts her own personal style and disregards anyone attempting to tell her what to do. The opening verse effectively communicates this confidence through the repetition of the phrase "oh yeah" as she confidently proclaims that she will do as she pleases.
The chorus employs repetition of "too much" to portray the singer's self-assuredness. Despite people talking about how great she is, she still knows that they will never fully understand her greatness. This further reinforces her confidence and independence. She states that she is just too much to handle, which could be interpreted as being either a positive or negative attribute. Either way, she seems to revel in her uniqueness and individuality.
Overall, this song can be seen as a representation of self-confidence and a refusal to conform to society's norms. Zendaya displays this message beautifully through her lyrics and confident delivery.
