Prior to the release, a snippet of the song posted to TikTok by PinkPantheress went viral on the platform. The bedroom pop, 2-step garage, and alternative pop song is a spiritual successor to PinkPantheress's song "Pain", and is written about her unhealthy obsession with a crush. The song was later sampled by Central Cee on his hit song "Obsessed with You" released on 10 September 2021
"Just for me" received critical acclaim and peaked at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 49 on the Irish Singles Chart. A low-resolution music video for the song, directed by PinkPantheress and Lauzza, was released on 9 September 2021 and depicts PinkPantheress singing to a crowd of depressed youths.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
I'm pleading on my knees (knees, knees, knees, knees)
It's your touch that I need (need, need, need, need)
I found the street of the house in which you stay
And my diary's full of your name on every page
'Cause I read somewhere you'll fall in love with me
Your hair's under my pillow so I sleep (so I sleep)
And I'm dreaming of you leaving roses at my feet (at my feet)
I'm obsessed with you in a way I can't believe
When you wipe your tears, do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
Do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
I'm pleading on my knees (knees, knees, knees, knees)
It's your touch that I need (need, need, need, need)
Hoy te seguí no me vayas a matar
Quería verte de lejos al pasar
Si te dabas cuenta yo me iba a morir
Un día aprenderé a disimular
Te escrito algo ¿Quieres escuchar?
Ven sola que no es para nadie más
Y si tú te pusieras a llorar
Dime que eres solo para mí
Es solo para mí (mí, mí, mí)
(Knees, knees, knees, knees)
It's your touch that I need (need, need, need, need)
Just for you
In "just for me," pinkpantheress sings about her intense obsession with someone who she is infatuated with. She knows where the person lives and writes their name constantly in her diary, as she hopes that they will one day fall in love with her. She even goes as far as to place their hair under her pillow to dream of them leaving roses at her feet.
The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation as she pleads on her knees and wonders if the person wipes their tears just for her. She follows the person in her car, but if they were to turn around, she would pretend to be just a passerby. She even wrote a song just for them and urges them not to bring friends as she wants to prove it's just for the two of them.
The song's portrayal of love and obsession seems to highlight how intense feelings can lead to irrational behavior. Pinkpantheress's yearning for this person's love is so strong that she is willing to do anything just to be noticed by them.

I've found the exact street of the house where you reside
I have managed to locate the precise location where you live
My diary's filled with your name on every single page
I have persistently written your name in my diary until every page is full
I read somewhere that eventually, you'll come to love me
I have heard that one day, you will develop feelings for me
I will continue trying until that time comes, you'll see
I won't give up on pursuing you until I succeed
I keep your hair under my pillow to aid me in sleeping
I use your hair as a comfort for a good sleep
As I dream, I envision you leaving roses at my feet
In my dreams, I imagine you leaving gifts to demonstrate your love for me
My affection for you is more intense than I can comprehend
I am consumed by my love and admiration for you more than I can grasp
Whenever you wipe your tears, do you do it for me?
I wonder if the tears you cry are on account of me
(Me, me, me, me, me)
Are you doing it just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
I am asking if the tears you are wiping are only for me
I plead with you on my knees
I beg for your love and affection with sincerity and earnestness
I crave your touch more than anything else in the world
I am desperate and yearning for your touch above all else
I followed you today while I was driving my car
I trailed behind you while driving my vehicle earlier today
I intended to see you but kept a distance that was far
I wanted to catch a glimpse of you, but I made sure to keep my distance
I would have died had you caught me in the act
If you had seen me, it would have been the end for me
I would have pretended I wasn't following, that's a fact
I would have made excuses and lied about the reason for following you
I wrote a song for you, would you like to hear it now?
I composed a song that I created with only you in mind, would you be interested in listening?
I don't want anyone else around making a crowd
I want it to be intimate, and I don't need anyone else present besides you and me
I need to prove it's only for you and nobody else
I want to show you that the song is for you alone and not for anyone else
We don't need anyone else, it can just be us two
There's no need for anyone else when you and I can have each other all to ourselves
My affection for you is more intense than I can comprehend
I am consumed by my love and admiration for you more than I can grasp
Whenever you wipe your tears, do you do it for me?
I wonder if the tears you cry are on account of me
(Me, me, me, me, me)
Are you doing it just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
I am asking if the tears you are wiping are only for me
I plead with you on my knees
I beg for your love and affection with sincerity and earnestness
I crave your touch more than anything else in the world
I am desperate and yearning for your touch above all else
(Just for you)

Lyrics
I found the street of the house in which you stay
And my diary’s full of your name on every page
‘Cause I read somewhere you’ll fall in love with me
I’ll try and try again one day, you’ll see
Your hair’s under my pillow so I sleep
And I’m dreaming of you leaving roses at my feet
I’m obsessed with you in a way I can’t believe
When you wipe your tears do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
Do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
I’m pleading on my knees (Knees, knees, knees, knees)
It’s your touch that I need (Need, need, need, need)
I followed you today, I was in my car
I wanted to come and see you from afar
If you turned around and saw me I would die
I’d pretend I was a person driving by
Wrote you a song, do you wanna hear it now?
Don’t bring your friends along to form a crowd
‘Cause I need to prove I wrote it just for you
What’s the need for them when it could be just us two? (Two, two, two, two)
I’m obsessed with you in a way I can’t believe
When you wipe your tears, do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
Do you wipe them just for me? (Me, me, me, me)
I’m pleading on my knees (Knees, knees, knees, knees)
It’s your touch that I need (Need, need, need, need)
(Just for you)

“I’m obsessed with you in a way i can’t believe, when you wipe your tears do you wipe them just for me” that line is so catchy!! But the whole song has some drugs in it making me so addicted to it
