The song’s lyrics revolve around a protagonist who is caught red-handed by his partner in a situation that clearly indicates infidelity.

The phrase “It wasn’t me” is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the denial despite the obvious evidence.

The chorus, “She saw me hit it, I left my trace,” highlights the protagonist’s predicament, as he acknowledges the physical proof but still denies responsibility.

The playful and light-hearted tone of the song contrasts with the serious nature of the subject, making it a satirical take on the classic scenario of being caught cheating.
