it's not u it's me (feat. 6LACK)

Bea Miller's song 'it's not u it's me (feat. 6LACK)' is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and self-love. The lyrics narrate a journey where the protagonist realizes that they have been compromising their own desires and needs to fulfill someone else's expectations. The opening lines, 'I did anything you wanted, that's me / Gave you everything you wanted,' set the stage for a relationship where one person is giving too much of themselves, leading to a sense of being 'haunted' by their own actions. This haunting feeling signifies the internal conflict and dissatisfaction that arises from neglecting one's own needs.

As the song progresses, the protagonist acknowledges that the relationship was filled with distractions that kept them from seeing the truth. The chorus, 'It's not you, it's me / I'm the only one I need,' is a declaration of independence and self-prioritization. This line emphasizes the importance of self-love and the realization that one's happiness should not be dependent on another person. The protagonist reassures their partner that the breakup is not their fault, highlighting the theme of taking responsibility for one's own happiness.

The collaboration with 6LACK adds depth to the narrative, as his verse reinforces the message of self-awareness and the pursuit of peace of mind. The lines, 'Peace of mind / It's not you, I figured, I'm done wasting time,' encapsulate the essence of the song. The protagonist has come to understand that self-love is not selfish but necessary for personal growth and fulfillment. The repeated affirmation, 'I'm the only one I need,' serves as a mantra for anyone struggling to prioritize their own well-being in a relationship. Bea Miller's 'it's not u it's me' is a compelling reminder that self-love and self-discovery are crucial for a healthy and fulfilling life.
