Lyrics
“That’s So True” is Gracie Abrams‘ biggest hit yet, so far peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the singer/songwriter’s first-ever top 10 entry on the chart, as well as spending weeks atop the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart.
And a big part of the song’s success — beyond high-profile performances on Saturday Night Live and her headlining The Secret of Us Tour — is its mile-a-minute lyrics, requiring repeat listens to decipher who she’s singing to (and about) and why she needs to go warn another woman.
Below, find the full lyrics of “That’s So True,” co-written by Abrams with her best friend and collaborator Audrey Hobert.

I could go and read your mindThink about your dumb face all the timeLiving in your glass house, I’m outside, uhLooking into big blue eyesDid it just to hurt me, make me crySmiling through it all, yeah, that’s my life
You’re an idiot, now I’m sureNow I’m positive, I should go and warn her
Ooh, bet you’re thinking, “She’s so cool”Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the roomWait, I think I’ve been there too
What’d she do to get you off? (Uh-huh)Taking down her hair like, oh, my GodTaking off your shirt, I did that onceOr twice, uhNo, I know, I know I’ll fuck off (uh-huh)But I think I like her, she’s so funWait, I think I hate her, I’m not that evolved
I’m sorry she’s missing it, sad, sad boyNot my business, but I had to warn ya
Ooh, bet you’re thinking, “She’s so cool”Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the roomWait, I think I’ve been there tooOoh, you’ve got me thinking, “She’s so cool”But I know what I know and you’re just another dudeOoh, that’s so true
Made it out alive, but I think I lost itSaid that I was fine, said it from the coffinRemember how I died when you started walking?That’s my life, that’s my lifeI’ll put up a fight, taking out my earringsDon’t you know the vibe? Don’t you know the feeling?You should spend the night, catch me on your ceilingThat’s your prize, that’s your prizeWell
Mm, bet you’re thinking, “She’s so cool”Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the roomWait, I think I’ve been there tooOoh, you’ve got me thinking, “She’s so cool”But I know what I know and you’re just another dudeOoh, that’s so true, ooh, oh

While “Lunch” was the lead single from Billie Eilish‘s most recent album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, the project’s second single “Birds of a Feather” has left a even bigger impression.
The melancholy midtempo hit — which has so far peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — got its biggest look when Eilish performed it at the closing ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics, playing the song from Long Beach in August to signal the Games’ handover from Paris to Los Angeles is 2028. The track closed 2024 as Spotify’s most-streamed song of the year and is nominated for three Grammys at the Feb. 2 awards show, including in two of the Big Four categories: record and song of the year.
Below, find the full lyrics of “Birds of a Feather,” written by Eilish with her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas.

(I want you to stay)
I want you to stay‘Til I’m in the grave‘Til I rot away, dead and buried‘Til I’m in the casket you carryIf you go, I’m goin’ too, uh‘Cause it was always you (alright)And if I’m turnin’ blue, please don’t save meNothin’ left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I knowI said I’d never think I wasn’t better aloneCan’t change the weather, might not be foreverBut if it’s forever, it’s even better
And I don’t know what I’m cryin’ forI don’t think I could love you moreIt might not be long, but baby, I
I’ll love you ’til the day that I die‘Til the day that I die‘Til the light leaves my eyes‘Til the day that I die
I want you to see, hmmHow you look to me, hmmYou wouldn’t believe if I told yaYou would keep the compliments I throw yaBut you’re so full of shit, uhTell me it’s a bit, ohSay you don’t see it, your mind’s pollutedSay you wanna quit, don’t be stupid
And I don’t know what I’m cryin’ forI don’t think I could love you moreMight not be long, but baby, IDon’t wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know (’til the day that I die)I said I’d never think I wasn’t better alone (’til the light leaves my eyes)Can’t change the weather, might not be forever (’til the day that I die)But if it’s forever, it’s even better
I knew you in another lifeYou had that same look in your eyesI love you, don’t act so surprised

Rihanna‘s “SOS” is one of the defining songs of the mid-2000s, but as it turns out, the track actually got a huge lift from the 1980s. In a new clip posted Tuesday from a recent interview with Behind the Wall, songwriter Evan “Kidd” Bogart — who composed the song’s lyrics with Edward Cobb and Jonathan […]

The infectious reggaetón and afrobeat fusion, produced by Daramola, finds the Panamanian and Venezuelan artists going back-and-forth on their feelings for each other. “You have me on cloud nine/I haven’t landed yet,” chants Boza. “I also want to have you/Just give me a chance to assimilate,” Elena responds.
Named after the constellation that’s visible in the winter sky, “Orion” — which was also named one of Billboard’s Best Latin Songs of 2024 (so far) — flew 17-4 on the chart, taking the Greatest Gainer honor of the week that’s awarded weekly to the song with the most audience impressions among the chart’s 40-deep entries.

But tell me what’s the secret you’ve keptThat no one has foundAnd that has me in a dazeIt’s that if you ask me to wait for you, I’ll wait for you sitting downYou have me on cloud nineI haven’t landed yet

I want to take it slow, slow, slow, slow, slowBecause I don’t want to lie to you, noJust give me chance, I askMy heart is like MiamiAlways under constructionI put myself firstThat’s my only condition
And I don’t only want to Have sex with youI really like youThat’s why I want to confess to youOh, the life you came toYou kiss so well, you went over the topI want to stick you to the wallLike a work of art
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigureIf they hurt you, I’ll cure youI want you for myself, I swearYou have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigureIf they hurt you, I’ll cure youI want you for myself, I swearI can be your safe space
I also want to have youJust give me a chance to assimilateThat I fell a lot in the pastAnd I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I’ll become a pirate and steal your heartAnd I’ll make love to you in Orion’s beltThere’s no way to fail such a womanI assure you that you are my philosophy, and I am Plato
Understand that I am unique, thereforeThe least expected surprises youAnd that wounds heal and pain does not last forever

Pepe Aguilar has never shied away from expressing what is really going through his mind. And his latest song, titled “Cuídamela Bien” — which translates to “take good care of her” — is no exception. Singing directly to Christian Nodal, who in July married his daughter Ángela Aguilar, the Mexican star is clear on his requests for him.
“Well you’re no idiot, you took from the old man the best woman,” he croons over wailing trumpets and nostalgic guitar notes. “Love her, cabrón. Show the world that you’re on the right track, and you’ve got a heart. Make her as happy as I’ve always wanted to in life.”
Trending on Billboard
Aguilar’s song is a play on words that makes the most sense in Spanish. In one verse, he sings, “Y NO DA La cara el bandido,” or, “And that bandit won’t show his face” — which could also refer to Nodal’s face tattoos. In another part of the song, he uses song titles, including Ángela’s “Ahí Donde Me Ven” and Nodal’s “Botella Tras Botella,” to wittingly express how he’s feeling.
Toward the end of the song, in a total state of emotional vulnerability, Aguilar reaffirms he’s given the couple his blessing, something he first announced publicly just a day after the wedding ceremony, which took place just weeks after the couple confirmed their relationship.
“In any lasting relationship, love is essential and respect and responsibility totally indispensable,” he wrote then. “With love, you face the most complicated challenges inside and outside your environment. … I have also been in your shoes. And after 27 years with my wife I say to you: There is no simple principle.”
Below, the lyrics to Pepe Aguilar’s “Cuídamela Bien” translated to English:
It’s not news that she’s with youWell the world knows it and everyone is a witnessSo fast time passed and my ANGEL someone else snatched her awayAnd the bandit won’t show his face
I’m going to be very clear, do things rightBecause for outlaws, mijo (son), this is not the place to beAnd I know it’s easy to be cabrónI’ve been in that situation myselfBut the one who stays is more of a man
And I’m sorry if I’m being a little rudeIt’s just that I got dumbfounded by a lucky chamaco (boy)
Take good care of herYou’ve already made her fall in loveYou already took her awayWhat am I gonna do?
She was never mineAnd I knewThat I was going to lose her
And lucky for youNow she’s with youI wish you well
Take good care of herMaybe she’s not perfectBut I assure youShe knows how to love
Roses were enough for youSo that my prideful daughterWould fall at your feet
And face-to-faceI give you a piece of adviceIf you love her well
Don’t change her because you’re very good at it
When you brought her roses, I played the strong oneAnd in the serenades I couldn’t kick you outThe eagle has already taken offAnd the one who doesn’t show his face now has shown itI admit that you’re easy to love
And I’m sorry if I’m a little rudeIt’s just that I got dumbfounded by a lucky chamaco (boy)
Take good care of her“Ahí Donde Me Ven” (There where they see me)“Botella Tras Botella” (Bottle after bottle)“No Me 100to Bien” (I don’t feel good)
Well you’re no idiotYou took from the old manThe best woman
And lucky for youNow she’s with youI wish you well
Love her, cabrónShow the worldThat you’re on the right trackAnd you’ve got a heart
Make her as happy asI’ve always wanted to in life
And in the eye of the cycloneFor my part I give you my blessingAnd I will always wish your relationship well

The flirty ranchera, released in November 2020 and penned by Nodal and Edgar Barrera, finds Nodal head over heels for Aguilar — who, in return, isn’t impressed by his kind gestures. After all, she’s not the type of girl who easily falls for a guy, she sings.
The song reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Regional Mexican Airplay chart in Januar 2021, making a then-17-year-old Aguilar the youngest female act on a lead role to achieve the feat. She concurrently earned her first No. 1 on any Latin airplay chart while Nodal captured his 10th on Latin Airplay.

In addition to being part of the tour’s set list, the song is having its momentum four years after its release amid the viral news of Nodal and Aguilar’s romance.
“Now I find myself living a precious experience with a woman I love, with a love that took so many years for what is happening to happen and we are enjoying it, we are living the experience,” Nodal said of his new relationship with Aguilar, 20, just weeks after announcing his breakup with Argentine rapper, Cazzu.

Everything began when I saw you pass byI felt something nice that I can’t explainYou caught me and I liked you moreOh, beautiful ranch girl, hi, how are you?
I’ll let you know from now onThat beautiful words are not enough For you to be able to conquer meI’m not one of those easy ones,Like those little girlsWith which I always see you with
And if I give you roses? (no matter what, they are going to wither)And if I serenade you? (no matter what, my dad will kick you to the curb)
Tell me how you want me to love youThis boy will become what you pleaseAsk away from what beautiful mouthFor you, I’ll do anything
Tell me what else you want me to sayIf my friends don’t like youAnd my family much lessWhat will people think if they see us one day?
Ay, ay, ayI’m not as bad as they say I amAy, ay, ayI’m not that dumb to let myself be fooled Ja, ja, ay, Angelita, don’t be so meanAnd you, don’t be so flirtatious
And if I give you roses? (no matter what, they are going to wither)And if I serenade you? (no matter what, my dad will kick you to the curb)
Tell me how you want me to love youThis boy will become what you pleaseAsk away from what beautiful mouthFor you, I’ll do anything
Tell me what else you want me to sayIf my friends don’t like youAnd my family much lessWhat will people think if they see us one day?

The infectious reggaetón track — about going after an attractive girl — has been gaining traction on social media, where on TikTok alone, it has garnered more than three million video creations.
“I was performing some shows in another region of the country when I wrote this song,” FloyyMenor, who’s an 18-year-old rising act from La Serena, Chile, previously told Billboard. “I knew it was going to be a hit, and it feels amazing that people are supporting it.”
“Gata Only” marks the first time a Chilean artist enters the chart’s top 10 in 25 years, after La Ley and Ednita Nazario’s “Tu Sabes Bien” peaked at No. 8 in 1999. Prior, it was Myriam Hernández’s “Huele a Peligro,” which peaked at No. 5 in 1998.
