Who This?

Chris Brown's song 'Who This?' delves into the chaotic and tense scenario of a man caught in a compromising situation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a frantic moment where the protagonist's significant other is on her way over, and he is desperately trying to clear out another woman from his house. The urgency in the lyrics, 'I'ma need everyone to go' and 'Really, seriously you need to hurry up,' sets the stage for the impending confrontation.

The song's chorus, 'Who this bitch all up in my house? Why she hiding behind the couch?' captures the explosive reaction of the protagonist's partner upon discovering the other woman. This line is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the shock and anger of the partner. The protagonist's fear is palpable as he tries to manage the situation, knowing that his partner's reaction could be severe. The lyrics 'If she come through the front door, you gotta hide' and 'Fuck around and I'ma lay you out' highlight the potential for violence and the high stakes of the encounter.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist reflects on his actions and the consequences. He admits to his infidelity, 'Every night I fuck a different bitch,' and acknowledges the danger he has put himself and others in. The line 'She in there working with the .45 with the compressor' suggests that his partner is armed and ready to take drastic measures. The song ends on a grim note, with the protagonist contemplating the fatal outcome of his actions, 'If I never cheated, she wouldn't have died.' This dark twist adds a layer of tragedy to the narrative, making 'Who This?' a powerful exploration of betrayal, guilt, and the destructive consequences of infidelity.
