Ever feel like you're juggling the spotlight and your personal life? Tove Lo captures that struggle perfectly in this track. The song dives into the emotional toll of fame, where despite being surrounded by people and camera flashes, she often feels alone. She reflects on pushing people away and dealing with the constant scrutiny of others. The lyrics also touch on the fear of losing everything she's worked hard for—sweat, blood, and tears—while questioning if her partner will stick around when things go south. It's a raw look at vulnerability behind the glitz and glamour, asking an important question: "What about you?"
Flashes
Lyrics
Just because I'm present
Don't mean I forgot about you back home
You think I'm surrounded
But babe, I do most of this alone
People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
What about you?
When I fuck things up
When I fuck things up in front of camera flashes
What about you?
When all I built up
When all I built up with sweat, blood, tears just crashes
What about you?
What about you?
"Money is a problem"
You say in a way like I'm to blame
I don't really need them
All I want is for us to stay the same
What about you?
People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
What about you?
When I fuck things up
When I fuck things up in front of camera flashes
What about you?
When all I built up
When all I built up with sweat, blood, tears just crashes
What about you?
What about you?
What about you?
What about you?
Oh! (What about, what about)
Yeah, oh, what about you?
Oh, yeah, nah, when I fuck things up, yeah
Oh, yeah, fuck things up, what about you?
Oh, what about you (fuck things up)
Yeah
(When I fuck things up)
Fuck things up
Coming over me
(All of these flashes)
What-a-bout-You? (All of these flashes)
Comin' over me
When I fuck things up
In front of camera flashes (All of these flashes)
What about you?
When all I built up
With sweat, blood, tears just crashes
What about you?
Fuck things up, yeah
