WHAT YOU WANT!

The song 'WHAT YOU WANT!' by Asteria delves into the themes of desire, hedonism, and the superficial aspects of modern relationships, particularly in the context of fame and the music industry. The repetitive chorus 'I know what you want / Tell me what you want' suggests a confident assertion from the artist, implying that they understand the materialistic and physical desires of the people they encounter. The repetition serves to emphasize the predictability of these desires, as well as the artist's familiarity with them.

The verses of the song describe encounters with women who are attracted to the artist's lifestyle, which includes parties, shows, and the trappings of success such as 'bands' (money) and 'designer clothes.' The lyrics 'Gettin' busy with these hoes / Know I met her at the show' depict a casual approach to relationships, where interactions are fleeting and based on the allure of fame rather than emotional connection. The line 'Fuck her, pass her to my bro' further illustrates the objectification and disposability of these relationships.

The song also touches on substance use with the line 'I mix that purple with the sprite,' which is a reference to consuming codeine cough syrup mixed with soda, a concoction often mentioned in hip-hop culture. This, along with the mention of staying up 'all night,' contributes to the portrayal of a hedonistic lifestyle. Overall, 'WHAT YOU WANT!' paints a picture of a world where desires are transparent and shallow, and where the artist navigates these waters with a sense of detachment and understanding.
