BEBE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse is all about confidence and self-love. The singer embraces their bold and stylish appearance, enjoying the attention they get. They know their worth and refuse to be affected by negativity. The mention of “looking like the youngest” could mean they feel youthful and free, regardless of how others see them. They also acknowledge that some people might feel jealous or annoyed, but they don’t let it bother them. Instead, they remove anything that doesn’t serve them, focusing only on what makes them happy.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the lyrics highlight self-belief and originality. The singer acts on their instincts without worrying too much, comparing their attitude to the unpredictable excitement of a rodeo. They refuse to copy others and instead trust themselves completely, both inside and out. The phrase “STAYC girls, it’s going down” signals that they’re ready to make a strong impact, staying true to who they are.

[Chorus]
The chorus expresses frustration with pretending to be something they’re not. The singer is tired of lies and fake expectations, refusing to play along anymore. “Si, c’est moi” (French for “yes, it’s me”) reinforces the idea of embracing their true self. They are rejecting the idea of being a “bebe” (which might symbolize innocence or immaturity) and instead choosing to be authentic and confident.

[Post-Chorus]
This section captures an overwhelming mix of emotions. The repetition of “feeling some type of way” suggests they are experiencing strong feelings—perhaps excitement, freedom, or even a little rebellion. The upbeat and playful sounds (“ayy, ayy”) add to the energy, showing that they are letting go and enjoying the moment without overthinking.

[Verse 2]
This verse continues the theme of self-worth and individuality. It lists qualities like beauty, passion, and dreams, emphasizing that people are more than just their outward appearance. The line about not judging a book by its cover reinforces the idea that true strength comes from within. The singer encourages others to go after what they want because there are no limits to what they can achieve.

[Pre-Chorus]
Just like before, this pre-chorus highlights their belief in themselves. They act without hesitation and reject the idea of copying others. By trusting their reflection in the mirror, they show confidence in their identity. Once again, they declare that they are here to make an impact, staying true to who they are.

[Chorus]
Reiterating the message from earlier, this chorus repeats their refusal to be fake. They are done with pretending and want to embrace their real selves. “Si, c’est moi” reminds listeners that they are proud of who they are and will not change for anyone.

[Post-Chorus]
Similar to the first post-chorus, this part is all about emotions. The repeated phrases suggest excitement and a rush of feelings, reinforcing the idea of living freely and confidently. The upbeat energy shows that they are enjoying the moment without caring about others’ opinions.

[Bridge]
This section focuses on the ease of being true to yourself compared to the struggle of pretending. The singer realizes that trying to fit into someone else’s expectations is exhausting, so they decide to follow their own path. They challenge others to do the same, questioning what they will do now that they are being real. It’s a message of empowerment, encouraging individuality and self-expression.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus drives home the main theme of rejecting fake expectations. They are tired of lying and pretending to be something they’re not. “Si, c’est moi” is repeated to emphasize their confidence in their identity. They don’t want to be a “bebe” (which might mean childish or naive); instead, they fully embrace who they are.

[Outro]
The outro mirrors the first verse, bringing the song full circle. The singer is dancing freely, doing whatever they want without caring about others’ opinions. They are proud of themselves, knowing they are valuable and unique. Any negativity or jealousy from others doesn’t affect them because they have chosen to focus on their happiness. If something doesn’t serve them, they simply remove it from their life. The song ends with a strong statement of self-love, independence, and confidence.
