JoJo Siwa’s debut single is an upbeat, positive song about shrugging off mean things that people say. JoJo encourages listeners to “come back” when others bully them, like a boomerang, a toy that returns to someone when they throw it.
[Chorus]
I don't really care 'bout what they say
I'ma come back like a boomerang
Won't let the haters get their way
I'ma come back like a boomerang
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
I'ma come back like a boomerang
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
I'ma, I'ma come back
[Verse 1]
They can keep talking their talk
But I'ma keep walking my walk
And I won't hear a so-ound
Yeah, they're just trying to see
If they can get the best of me
Well, not this time aro-ound
[Pre-Chorus]
Talk to the phone like they're all alone
Hide behind the screen 'cause they're just so mean
But we don't play it like that
We don't even fight back
All of the boys, they just brush it off
Saying we're fake, yeah, no, we're not
Trying to throw us off track
But we know how to come back (Hey, hey, hey)
[Chorus]
I don't really care 'bout what they say
I'ma come back like a boomerang
Won't let the haters get their way (Hey, hey, hey)
I'ma come back like a boomerang
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
I'ma come back like a boomerang (Hey, hey, hey)
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
I'ma, I'ma come back
[Verse 2]
Try to, try to make me stop
But I'ma climb it to the top
Just look how far I've go-one
[Refrain]
Bigger, better, faster, stronger
Yeah, see I ain't just a talker
Catch me if you can, hey
Catch us if you can, hey!
[Pre-Chorus]
Talk to the phone like they're all alone
Hide behind the screen 'cause they're just so mean
But we don't play it like that, what?
We don't even fight back, uh-huh
All of the boys, they just brush it off
Saying we're fake, yeah, no, we're not
Trying to throw us off track
But we know how to come back (Hey, you!)
[Chorus]
I don't really care 'bout what they say
I'ma come back like a boomerang, hey, hey!
Won't let the haters get their way
I'ma come back, back, back like
[Drop]
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'ma
Try try to throw us off track (Hey, hey, hey)
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'ma (Hey, hey, hey!)
We know how to come back (Oh, whoa)
[Chorus]
I don't really care 'bout what they say
I'ma come back like a boomerang
Won't let the haters get their way
I'ma come back like a boomerang
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah
I'ma come back, I'ma, I'ma come back
[Refrain]
Bigger, better faster stronger (Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah)
Yeah, see I ain't just a talker (Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah)
Catch me if you can, hey (Ooh, ooh, whoa, ah)
Catch us if you can, hey! (Hey, hey, hey)
