    LYRICS:
    Oh, I can’t do this anymore I don’t wanna get involved
    With all these men
    I’m so much better than
    And maybe it’s a little cold
    But I think I could play the role
    Coz, no one can love me
    The way I can
    Catch me out in Paris on my ones
    Stay out dancing till the dancing’s done
    I got me I don’t need anyone
    Hold me close
    Love myself the most
    Lately I been just what I need
    Stole my heart and I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
    Be my own boyfriend
    Lately I been just what I need
    Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
    Oh, I could save myself the stress
    Wear the trousers and the dress
    Girl you look so god damn good tonight
    And I say that with my chest
    You and me could be the best
    I can do whatever whenever the fuck I want
    Hold me close
    Love myself the most
    Lately I been just what I need
    Stole my heart and I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
    Be my own boyfriend
    Lately I been just what I need
    Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend
    Be my own boyfriend x3
    Lately I been just what I need
    Be my baby I’m gonna be my own boyfriend

    "I was processing and feeling the feelings and then lockdown happened and I had to spend a lot of time by myself and look within, as we all did I feel, and I realised that I’m actually my own boyfriend. I don’t need someone else to complete me, I don’t need an other half, I’m whole, so I really wanted to write a song capturing that essence.
    It’s a very societal thing that you’re always looking for your Prince Charming or that when you meet this person that you’ll be ‘whole’ or ‘successful’, like that’s the end goal. But I think the end goal is being happy by yourself, and if you do meet someone then it’s a really cute accessory - a cute addition to my life, but it’s not completing my life. It’s not the whole look, he’s just the bag!"

      Dear Olivia, you reached this wisdom at such an early age..... lucky you! I came to this conclusion after 2 divorces above 45 but now I feel so complete and happy! :D Your songs are great and lovely just as you are!

    I just discovered you and your songs an hour ago cause someone mentioned a concert - so great!
    hearing this song I first thought - "ups, this is the same idea as in the song 'Flowers' by Cyrus" - but - well - YOUve been first with your SongIdea in 2021 - and did already such a great song about that; I also liked that "I could be a florist" that you postet 6 months ago ;) - and so many other great songs of yours - may the future-Grammys come to you! Music Industry would be stupid if not!

    I'm older, and this song has me all crazy and in love with myself. It almost makes me want to cry, laugh, scream, and run down the street like I have been delivered into a new religion. The way she says she looks so damn good and she gives herself her own compliments. And ohhhh, the instrumental section. This song is the epitome of what every woman needs to experience, especially as a healing e exercise, and I say it with my chest.....lo😮l I love her for this song. I feel sooooo good and liberated

    @chooseyou00 Před 2 lety

    I spent over four years being single after having years of back to back codependent and toxic relationships. I spent so much time on my own and got to know myself better. And the more you spend time & effort to know someone, the easier it is to love that person. I'm still getting there, but I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life.
    This song is like a cute accessory to my journey to being the love of my life, it brings so much joy and main character energy whenever I listen to it.
    Thanks Olivia : )
