## Background

On October 13, 2020, GIRLI began teasing the song through her social media, by making fans crack binary code (Which would reveal the song's release date and lead to a preview of the song if cracked) and claiming her Instagram account was hacked.

## Theme

GIRLI stated in her Ex Talk listening party that she wrote the song after being dropped by her first label, Virgin EMI Records, and having a "bad breakup".

## Lyrics

You used to kiss me in the morning right before you went to work

She used to call me late at night and tell me 'bout the boys she hurt

Now you're hanging with your friends, ones you told me you can't stand

Saying things about me that you used to say about them

Now your tongue is down a throat, that girl you said you didn't know

Said you can't commit but you clearly can commit to her

She's such a has-been

Ate her up I'm done with that, ah

She's the girl that's in the past, ah (Bye bye)

But I'm still a bad bitch (A bad bitch)

Throw a punch right in my face, ah

You know what, I like the pain, ha!

Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say

'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby

You can go and live your life without me

Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language

Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U

I'll do me so you do you

You used to tell me "You're a star, and soon the world will know your name"

"You'll have the money, credit cards, your name will make the hall of fame" (Yuh)

Now you're telling that to her and a hundred other girls

Crushing dreams, making millions, put it in your pocket (Fuck you)

Pack 'em up and dress 'em well, put on a conveyor belt

Same old story, you're so boring

She's such a has-been

Ate her up I'm done with that, ah

She's the girl that's in the past, ah

But I'm still a bad bitch

Throw a punch right in my face, ah

You know what, I like the pain, ha!

Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say

'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby

You can go and live your life without me

Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language

Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U

I'll do me so you do you

Yeah

Don't you think you're a bit of a...

Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say

'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby

You can go and live your life without me

Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language

Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U

I'll do me so you do you, aah!

Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say

'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby

You can go and live your life without me

Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language

Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U

I'll do me so you do you
