“Mean What I Mean” is the fourth single from AlunaGeorge’s sophomore album, I Remember. The track was premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 Show, and sonically it’s similar to “I’m In Control”, pulling from the tropical soundscape like the previously released single.
Singer Aluna Francis explained t...
[Verse 1: Aluna Francis]
I shouldn't have to explain, it's so simple
But I'm doing you a favour
It seems you lost your brain, no signal
So I lay it on the table
[Pre-Chorus: Aluna Francis]
Not this time, don't act blind
I know you've seen the signs, don't wanna read them
It's not fine, it's not okay
All you gotta do right now is listen
[Chorus: Aluna Francis]
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So don't play a fool and twist my rules
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So trust me, I mean what I mean
I mean what I mean
So trust me, I mean what I mean
[Verse 2: Dreezy]
Give it up, it's annoying, give it up
You wanna see, gotta make an appointment, that's right
I hit 'em with that "Oh no, I got a boyfriend", damn girl
Yeah, he was acting like he ain't know what no meant, nah
I don't care about the paper you're getting
How you spending for my ship and then you still ain't hitting
Only see me sitting pretty so they saying I'm so diddy
Can't just anybody get me, and I will hurt feelings
Yeah, so keep your hands up off me
I get it if I want it, I don't care what you bought me
I touchdown, he think he in the endzone
Called him little bird and put him back up in the friendzone
Laced up, all about the pay cut
If I say it then I mean it, ain't nobody made up (what?)
Baby from the waist up, you can look but you can't touch
High heels and high standards, ain't gotta say much, nah
[Chorus: Aluna Francis]
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So don't play a fool and twist my rules
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So trust me, I mean what I mean
I mean what I mean
So trust me, I mean what I mean
[Bridge: Aluna Francis]
Better keep your hands to yourself
If you don't wanna see me get mental
I'm just here to have a good time
I would of opened that door if I wanted you to come in
See that's your final warning shot now
[Verse 3: Leikeli47]
Uh, take cover, my girls all hover
When we see a creep, we put 'em to sleep, uh
Macaroni Tony in a ditch
Cause he grabbed my ass and called me a bitch
Aluna shoulda called a lot sooner
Got wolves around the world, coulda sent one of my juniors
But now 47 here
And I brought re-enforcement to make sure we clear
[Chorus: Aluna Francis]
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So don't play a fool and twist my rules
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So trust me, I mean what I mean
Mean what I mean
Mean what I mean
Mean what I mean
Mean what I mean
I mean what I mean
[Outro]
So trust me, so trust me

It was so great having Dreezy and Leikeli47 on the set for the music video. They are so much fun. As soon as they came on I was like ‘Yay!’ I made sure I was surrounded by lovely people to get me through the day. ‘Mean What I Mean’ is, as people said, a sexy song about consent....
