One Of The Girls (feat. The Weeknd & Lily-Rose Depp)

The song 'One Of The Girls' by JENNIE, featuring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, delves into the complex and often taboo themes of power dynamics and submission within a relationship. The lyrics suggest a relationship where control and dominance play a central role, with the protagonist expressing a desire to be 'owned' and 'controlled.' The use of phrases like 'I love when you're submissive' and 'You love it when I break skin' indicates a consensual yet intense dynamic between the partners, where the lines between pain, pleasure, and love are blurred.

The chorus, 'We don't gotta be in love, no / I don't gotta be the one, no / I just wanna be one of your girls tonight,' reveals a sense of detachment from traditional romantic expectations. The protagonist is not seeking love or a unique position as 'the one,' but rather an experience or a role within the partner's life, even if it's temporary and possibly one among many. This could reflect a commentary on modern relationships, where commitment and exclusivity are not always the ultimate goals.

The song also touches on the idea of a hidden life or secret desires with lines like 'This is a secret that I keep' and 'Top of the world, but I'm still not free.' It suggests that the protagonist feels trapped by societal expectations or their own image, seeking liberation through these clandestine encounters. The recurring theme of trading one's life or peace for a moment of feeling alive or free underscores the lengths to which people might go to escape their perceived constraints.
