LYRICS:
Oh, I can’t do this anymore I don’t wanna get involved
With all these men
I’m so much better than

And maybe it’s a little cold
But I think I could play the role
Coz, no one can love me
The way I can

Catch me out in Paris on my ones
Stay out dancing till the dancing’s done
I got me I don’t need anyone

Hold me close
Love myself the most
Lately I been just what I need
Stole my heart and I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Lately I been just what I need
Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend

Oh, I could save myself the stress
Wear the trousers and the dress
Girl you look so god damn good tonight
And I say that with my chest
You and me could be the best
I can do whatever whenever the fuck I want

Hold me close
Love myself the most
Lately I been just what I need
Stole my heart and I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Lately I been just what I need
Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend

Be my own boyfriend x3

Lately I been just what I need
Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend

"I was processing and feeling the feelings and then lockdown happened and I had to spend a lot of time by myself and look within, as we all did I feel, and I realised that I’m actually my own boyfriend. I don’t need someone else to complete me, I don’t need an other half, I’m whole, so I really wanted to write a song capturing that essence.
It’s a very societal thing that you’re always looking for your Prince Charming or that when you meet this person that you’ll be ‘whole’ or ‘successful’, like that’s the end goal. But I think the end goal is being happy by yourself, and if you do meet someone then it’s a really cute accessory – a cute addition to my life, but it’s not completing my life. It’s not the whole look, he’s just the bag!"

really hard to describe just how perfect this song is. it just hits such a specific nerve in my mind, it feels so good to listen to

[Haileyroz]

This touched my heart softly.
I’m bringing my power back.

Honestly, everything she does feels so fresh and new, it reminds me of when Amy Winehouse came to change the music, all the love!

I saw this song on a satisfying story on snap, and now I’m here :)

[Ohaechesi]

This song randomly popped up as an ad on my YouTube and I'm hooked.

[custardradish]

Saw her sing this last night at Live At Leeds. It was sublime, and she's such a classy, charismatic presence on stage. I really hope she gets the success she deserves

I love it, strength, and power in knowing your own self-worth.

[alyssanaing]

this scratches my brain in the most perfect way

[Ravensnowmyst]

I'm older, and this song has me all crazy and in love with myself. It almost makes me want to cry, laugh, scream, and run down the street like I have been delivered into a new religion. The way she says she looks so damn good and she gives herself her own compliments. And ohhhh, the instrumental section. This song is the epitome of what every woman needs to experience, especially as a healing e exercise, and I say it with my I love her for this song. I feel good and liberated

Olivia you are an old soul. You just get it at a very early age. I saw you on CBS Sat. Mornings and had to get all your albums. Your music is perfect for long road trips, cocktail parties and cleaning house. I will see you in concert one day. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤🤗
