LYRICS:
Oh, I can’t do this anymore I don’t wanna get involved
With all these men
I’m so much better than
And maybe it’s a little cold
But I think I could play the role
Coz, no one can love me
The way I can
Catch me out in Paris on my ones
Stay out dancing till the dancing’s done
I got me I don’t need anyone
Hold me close
Love myself the most
Lately I been just what I need
Stole my heart and I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Lately I been just what I need
Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
Oh, I could save myself the stress
Wear the trousers and the dress
Girl you look so god damn good tonight
And I say that with my chest
You and me could be the best
I can do whatever whenever the fuck I want
Hold me close
Love myself the most
Lately I been just what I need
Stole my heart and I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Lately I been just what I need
Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend x3
Lately I been just what I need
Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend

"I was processing and feeling the feelings and then lockdown happened and I had to spend a lot of time by myself and look within, as we all did I feel, and I realised that I’m actually my own boyfriend. I don’t need someone else to complete me, I don’t need an other half, I’m whole, so I really wanted to write a song capturing that essence. It’s a very societal thing that you’re always looking for your Prince Charming or that when you meet this person that you’ll be ‘whole’ or ‘successful’, like that’s the end goal. But I think the end goal is being happy by yourself, and if you do meet someone then it’s a really cute accessory - a cute addition to my life, but it’s not completing my life. It’s not the whole look, he’s just the bag!" -Olivia Dean

Dear Olivia, you reached this wisdom at such an early age..... lucky you! I came to this conclusion after 2 divorces above 45 but now I feel so complete and happy! :D Your songs are great and lovely just as you are!

[@alexxarcadia]

Just found this masterpiece, and currently my fav song because I truly feel you... the song, the video, the lirycs... so refreshing. Self love is the best love bebé. I'm my own wife. I have the rings and everything hahaha

Honestly, everything she does feels so fresh and new, it reminds me of when Amy Winehouse came to change the music, all the love!

[@Ohaechesi]

This song randomly popped up as an ad on my KZbin and I'm hooked.

[@myriamnya1996]

What ad ?

[@custardradish]

Saw her sing this last night at Live At Leeds. It was sublime, and she's such a classy, charismatic presence on stage. I really hope she gets the success she deserves

[@francesclare]

This is entirely my national anthem for my own inner space. Grateful for this song✨🎶💕

Olivia you are an old soul. You just get it at a very early age. I saw you on CBS Sat. Mornings and had to get all your albums. Your music is perfect for long road trips, cocktail parties and cleaning house. I will see you in concert one day. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤🤗

[@mikergo03]

That's what I mean the true music! It really touches

[@Ravensnowmyst]

I'm older, and this song has me all crazy and in love with myself. It almost makes me want to cry, laugh, scream, and run down the street like I have been delivered into a new religion. The way she says she looks so damn good and she gives herself her own compliments. And ohhhh, the instrumental section. This song is the epitome of what every woman needs to experience, especially as a healing e exercise, and I say it with my chest.....lo😮l I love her for this song. I feel sooooo good and liberated

[@marymalone2262]

Ive never seen a music video like this, this is really good olivia!!

[@chooseyou00]

I spent over four years being single after having years of back to back codependent and toxic relationships. I spent so much time on my own and got to know myself better. And the more you spend time & effort to know someone, the easier it is to love that person. I'm still getting there, but I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. This song is like a cute accessory to my journey to being the love of my life, it brings so much joy and main character energy whenever I listen to it. Thanks Olivia : )

"Girl, you look so goddamn good tonight And I say that with my chest" I don't what "my chest" means and I think it is up for interpretation; but as someone who really struggles with her body image and her "flat chest", these lines made me cry. It is so beautiful and empowering and important to me. Love this song

[@Starrdoeseverything]

When you say it with your chest, it means you say it with confidence
