“Love Myself” is the debut single from actress Tracee Ellis Ross, which was released as the lead single on the soundtrack for her 2020 movie, The High Note.
Lyrically, the song is about self-love and accepting yourself for who you are.
[Verse 1]
I forget when I was younger, it was easy
Now I'm stressed out, I always have to have the TV on
Watching memories fade to gray and winding slowly
Makes me uneasy, making me crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
But is it fake love if I'm lying to myself
Trying to fake the way I feel?
Am I a stranger if I don't recognize myself
Trying to fix up something real?
[Chorus]
I don't really care
I don't wanna keep my head down
Got nothing to share
Maybe I should put my phone down
I don't really care if everybody likes me
I just wanna love myself
Love myself
Love myself
[Verse 2]
It's hard to pay attention when my mind toss
Only wish there was a way to turn my mind off
Now the only way to sleep is with the lights on
Making me lonely, making me crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
But is it fake love if I'm lying to myself
Trying to fake the way I feel?
Am I stranger if I don't recognize myself
Trying to fix up something real?
[Chorus]
I don't really care
I don't wanna keep my head down
Got nothing to share
Maybe I should put my phone down
I don't really care if everybody likes me
I just wanna love myself
Love myself
Love myself
[Bridge]
My head is spinning, the ground breaks
And I can't pay attention when my hands shake
When love is gone, when every day is a bad day
Just need myself to tell me that it's okay
[Chorus]
I don't really care
I don't wanna keep my head down
Got nothing to share
Maybe I should put my phone down
I don't really care if everybody likes me
I just wanna love myself
I don't really care
I don't wanna keep my head down
Got nothing to share
Maybe I should put my phone down
I don't really care if everybody likes me
I just wanna love myself
Love myself
