Girlfriend

Juice WRLD's 'Girlfriend' is a candid reflection on past relationships and the realization of self-worth. The lyrics convey a narrative of betrayal and the subsequent empowerment that comes from moving on. The repeated lines 'There was you, there was I / Live a lie, live a lie, live a, live a lie' suggest a relationship built on falsehoods, where the truth of their connection was never fully realized or was intentionally obscured.

The song delves into the theme of infidelity and the pain of being an option rather than a priority. Juice WRLD expresses his awareness of being one among many for his past lover, as indicated by 'I wasn't your only one, I know you had another man.' The artist's response to this realization is one of dismissal and self-respect, as he now has a girlfriend who is deserving of his time and affection. The lyrics 'You were pretty bad for a slut, yeah, yeah / I'm so glad I ain't fuck, yeah, yeah' reflect a sense of relief and gratitude for having avoided deeper involvement with someone who did not value him.

The song also touches on the idea of superficial attraction and the hollowness of relationships based solely on physical desire. Juice WRLD's disdain for insincere affection is clear in lines like 'Basic, you're so basic / Tasteless, way too tasteless.' The artist contrasts this with the genuine love he receives from his current girlfriend, which is both fulfilling and challenging, as suggested by 'I love my girl, she makes my day / Even when she on my case.' 'Girlfriend' is a raw and honest account of learning from past mistakes and embracing a more meaningful connection.
