Background[]

After a snippet of the song leaked, and after various unreleased songs from previous albums also leaked, Melanie posted a statement on her Instagram story generally speaking about her songs being leaked, and how she feels about such leaks occurring.[1]

Theme[]

This song is likely about the frustration and anger towards people who judge others based on their success, without taking into account the hard work and sacrifices that were made to achieve it. The lyrics express the idea that some people waste their lives chasing success at the expense of others, and that they may even resort to stealing or exploiting others to achieve their goals.

Lyrics[]

[Verse]
Wasted your whole life chasing success
You squeezed the berry 'till there's barely any juice left
And every single shiny penny that you gained was theft
You built a castle but at everyone's expense

[Chorus]
How dare you judge my character like that?
I worked my ass off for everything I have
Built a better life for me, my mom and dad
If they were happy, it couldn't have been that bad

[Verse]
Wasted your whole life chasing success
You squeezed the berry 'till there's barely any juice left
And every single shiny penny that you gained was theft
You built a castle but at everyone's expense

[Chorus]
How dare you judge my character like that?
I worked my ass off for everything I have
Built a better life for me, my mom and dad
If they were happy, it couldn't have been that bad
