Obsessed

"**Obsessed**" is a single Maggie Lindemann, written by Jonas Jeberg, Sean Myer & Ivy Adara and produced by Jeberg & Myer. It was released on November 17, 2017, a year and a month after herlast single *Pretty Girl*, being the second longest gap in between singles from Maggie.

## Background & Composition

The single talks about a lover that is expecting their partner to be picture perfect because they think they are perfect and according to Maggie, it doesn't work like that, so the song calls that person out for being self-absorved or only cares about themselves, which is not necessarily in a bad way since in the end she calls herself out saying "'Cause I'm obsessed with myself too".

About the inspiration of the song, Maggie told Billboard in 2017:

> "It’s about being with someone more physically than being with them emotionally. Then, you know, obviously it’s not as fun as always being a little obsessed with themselves and you’re not able to really connect with them on any other level than that. It’s not putting down being obsessed with yourself, because in the end it’s like, “I’m obsessed with myself too.” Just kind of talking about that and not being able to connect."

The song's release was paired up with a campaign release for the brand Pat McGath Labs which consisted on an ad and Maggie's three favorite shades of the Liquilust 007 Liquid Matte Lipstick collection (Possessed, Revelation Red and Nightshade) being sold via her Spotify page, which made Pat McGrath Labs the first beauty brand to be sold through the music-streaming platform, via Merchbar. About the collaboration, Maggie told Billboard:

> "My song came first, and then we collaborated with Pat and came out with “So Obsessed.” It wasn’t all thought of at once but then once the idea came up it would be really cool to release it with Spotify and release it with the single. We thought it would be a cool collaboration kind of idea. "

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Baby, you got something special

Your body is a work of art

But we got a little issue

I feel your chest, but I can't find your heart

Got more muscles than the ocean

Sculpted like an ancient god

Full of yourself, but no emotion

Yeah, I like to touch, but I can't feel no love

[Pre-Chorus]

You're looking in my eyes, just to see your own

See your own reflection, your own reflection

Your body's overpriced 'cause you pay yourself

Way too much attention, too much attention

[Chorus]

You're so obsessed with yourself

Maybe you should undress with yourself? Hey

Get a table for two, your ego and you

Take him home and make a move

So obsessed with yourself, obsessed with yourself

[Verse 2]

Baby, like your lady special

Picture perfect beauty bells

Only looking surface level

That's if you can take your eyes of yourself

Gonna end up with nobody, nobody

Even though we form a line, oh yeah

But I don't even think you're worried

If you've got a mirror, baby, you're fine

[Pre-Chorus]

You're looking in my eyes, just to see your own

See your own reflection, your own reflection

Your body's overpriced 'cause you pay yourself

Way too much attention, too much attention

[Chorus]

You're so obsessed with yourself

Maybe you should undress with yourself? Hey

Get a take of the two, your ego and you

Take him home and make a move

So obsessed with yourself, obsessed with yourself

You're so obsessed with yourself

Maybe you should undress with yourself? Hey

Get a table for two, your ego and you

Take him home and make a move

So obsessed with yourself, obsessed with yourself

[Outro]

Do it, baby, like you do

I love it and I hate it too

Do it, baby, like you do

'Cause I'm obsessed with myself too
