Lyrics meaning
The speaker tells a former partner that she is doing well and has moved on. At first, she sounds unsettled that the other person now shows concern after the relationship has ended. As the song continues, her tone becomes more firm and dismissive: she says she has no time or space for them and wants them to focus on their own life.
โDonโt worry โbout meโ is a casual way of saying โdonโt concern yourself with me.โ The repeated phrase also sets a boundary: the speaker does not want the ex-partner involved in her life. Saying she has been โsleeping okayโ suggests she is coping, while the claim that reminders of her are everywhere hints that the ex may be suffering or missing her. โLoving only yourselfโ is an accusation of selfishness, not a literal description of how the person loves.
The speaker insists she is โfineโ and โunfazed,โ but the repeated challenges and references to the exโs pain suggest some lingering anger or hurt. These statements may be genuine confidence, or they may partly serve to protect her pride. The lyrics do not show whether she feels completely over the relationship; they mainly show her trying to make clear that she wants distance.
