Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat)

Saweetie's 'Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat)' is an anthem that celebrates the bond between best friends, particularly highlighting the themes of female empowerment, independence, and confidence. The lyrics praise a best friend who is self-sufficient, financially independent, and unapologetically confident in her own skin. The song emphasizes the importance of having a supportive friend who is there to hype you up and stand by your side through thick and thin.

The song's chorus and verses are filled with expressions of admiration for a friend who doesn't rely on anyone else for her needs or happiness. She's described as a 'real bad bitch' who has her own money, drives her own car, and is the life of the party. This portrayal challenges traditional gender roles and celebrates women who are self-reliant and successful on their own terms. The lyrics also touch on the idea of women supporting each other, rather than competing, which is a powerful message in the context of female friendships.

Cultural references, such as the mention of a 'Tessie' (Tesla car) and 'Manolos' (Manolo Blahnik shoes), are used to symbolize the luxurious and independent lifestyle that the best friend leads. The song also addresses how others may react with jealousy to their strong bond and success, but it ultimately focuses on the joy and pride found in a close, empowering friendship. The energy of the song is infectious, encouraging listeners to celebrate their friendships and the strength they draw from them.
