The song’s core revolves around the central question, “Am I ready to be loved?” Lizzo expresses her past struggles with love (“I did the work, it didn’t work”) and admits to disliking herself (“How am I supposed to love somebody else when I don’t like myself?”).
This internal conflict reveals her vulnerability and past experiences that have made her hesitant to embrace love fully.
However, the lyrics “I’m way too fine to be here alone” and “I know my worth” indicate a growing sense of self-worth.
The bridge suggests a turning point, where she acknowledges a connection with someone (“He squeeze my belly, I’m too embarrassed to say I like it”) and considers the possibility of a relationship (“Girl, is this my boo?”).
The outro reinforces her transformation, as she declares, “Yesterday, I would have run away…
but I’m ready,” showing she’s finally willing to overcome her fears and open herself to love.
