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.

โ€œDonโ€™t worry โ€™bout meโ€ is a casual way of saying โ€œdonโ€™t 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 โ€œsleeping okayโ€ suggests she is coping, while the claim that reminders of her are everywhere hints that the ex may be suffering or missing her. โ€œLoving only yourselfโ€ is an accusation of selfishness, not a literal description of how the person loves.

The speaker insists she is โ€œfineโ€ and โ€œunfazed,โ€ but the repeated challenges and references to the exโ€™s 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.
