The song’s lyrics delve into the life of a pop star, emphasizing the dichotomy between the public persona and the private struggles.
Drake’s verses, such as “I pull up in a Ghost, I’m mobbin’, I don’t care if it’s a host, I’m throwin’ all this money at you, you know” and “I’m the type to buy a new car with no top, just to drive around with the roof off”, illustrate the lavish lifestyle that comes with fame.
However, lines like “I’m just tryna stay alive and take care of my people, and they don’t have no award for that” reveal the underlying stress and responsibility that fame brings.
The chorus, “I’m a pop star, but I ain’t tryna be humble anymore”, encapsulates the tension between the desire for recognition and the toll it takes on personal life.
The song’s production, with its catchy beat and autotuned vocals, mirrors the polished yet hollow nature of celebrity culture, reinforcing the theme of superficiality versus reality.
