“POV” is the sixth track on “&ONE,” Jesse Rutherford’s first solo album since 2019. It is produced by lilaaron and Sully.
Prior to its release, the track received backlash regarding certain lyrics possibly making reference to American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish who he had previously dated...
[Intro]
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different point of view
Calling out, "And one"
Every time I point and shoot
Yeah, yeah, uh
Uh-huh, uh
(Top-top-top)
[Chorus]
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different point of view
Calling out, "And one" every time I point and shoot
On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can't lose
Feel like Alejandro when she Gaga on my goo
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different POV
Polo socks, in my Docs and the top is CDG
Gotta watch over my shoulder, heart upon my sleeve
And they told me it was over, I'ma disagree
[Verse 1]
Top five, dead or alive
Every city I show up they posting me up like a wanted sign, yeah
Feel like Jesse James, robbed a bank
Bringing change back to the gang
New whip, I'm switching lanes
Got the same fit as yesterday
Skrrt off in that Bradley Coupe, me and you
Run away, I rendezvous
Red dress on like Betty Boop
Yeah, we so cute, I could puke, blegh
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I ain't ever been this high
But I'm not tryna come down
Not expecting you to realize
Where I'm coming from now
[Chorus]
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different point of view
Calling out, "And one" every time I point and shoot
On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can't lose
Feel like Alejandro when she Gaga on my goo
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different POV
Polo socks, in my Docs and the top is CDG
Gotta watch over my shoulder, heart upon my sleeve
And they told me it was over, I'ma disagree
[Verse 2]
She been listening to me since 2013
I know she's got daddy issues, welcome to the family
She said, "Jesse, baby, won't you write a song about me?"
I said, "I got a whole album, I could drop it next week"
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Shorty come with me, watch your money get longer
Turn into an all-star in a pair of Converse
Blew up by myself, I feel like the Unabomber
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I ain't ever been this high
But I'm not tryna come down
Not expecting you to realize
Where I'm coming from now
[Chorus]
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different point of view
Calling out, "And one" every time I point and shoot
On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can't lose
Feel like Alejandro when she Gaga on my goo
I'm at the top, you're at the bottom
It's a different POV
Polo socks, in my Docs and the top is CDG
Gotta watch over my shoulder, heart upon my sleeve
And they told me it was over, I'ma disagree
[Outro]
(It's Jesse, baby)
I ain't ever been this high
But I'm not tryna come down
Not expecting you to realize
Where I'm coming from now
