Self Love
Savannah Cristina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴This a feeling that I just can′t shake (Shake)
Ain't a person that can take my place (Yeah)
Happy just to be alone all day
Anti-social, gotta isolate
Turnin′ my phone off
Changing my number, I'm changing my name (Yeah)
I got a burner
Use it for niggas who try to run game (Uh) That's how I′m livin′
And I don't mind, babe
′Cause I ain't got no problems, babe (I ain′t got no problems)
I ain't got no problems, babe (I ain′t got no problems)

So much better when I'm by myself
So much better, I don't need no help (No)
I feel so much better when I′m all alone
So much better when I ain′t worried 'bout
You (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yеah)

You′ve been trying to fall in love with me
But wе both know I ain't the one to be
Caught up (Caught up), it′s true (It's true)
You ain′t the one, don't need the one
I found the one, I am the one
This is self-love (Self-love, self-love) shit
And I don't need no other love, so quit (True)
I′m known to cut a nigga off quick
I do what I want
Don′t need permission, I don't need to call
On a sabbatical, don′t wanna talk right now (Right now)

So much better when I'm by myself (Yeah)
So much better, I don′t need no help (No help)
I feel so much better when I'm all alone (That′s right)
So much better when I ain't worried 'bout you
So much better when I′m by myself (Oh, yeah)
So much better, I don′t need no help (So much better when I)
I feel so much better when I'm all alone (Yeah)
So much better when I ain′t worried 'bout (So much better)
You

When I ain′t worried 'bout you
Yeah, ooh-ooh


Overall Meaning

In Savannah Cristina's song "Self Love", she expresses her contentment with being alone and not needing anyone else's love or help. The verses indicate a feeling of being fed up with social interactions and finding the need to isolate herself. She talks about having a burner phone to keep herself away from people who may try to manipulate her or play games. She knows that she can cut people off quickly if they cross a certain line, and she doesn't need anyone's permission to do so.


The chorus repeats the idea that she feels much better when she is alone and not worried about anyone else. Her self-love is the only love she needs, and she doesn't want anyone else's love or help. She asserts that she is "the one" and doesn't need anyone else to be complete. The song is an empowering ode to self-love and the ability to cut toxic people out of one's life.
