IDGAF (French Demo)

Dua Lipa's song "IDGAF (French Demo)" is a powerful declaration of independence and self-respect. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has moved on from a toxic relationship and is no longer willing to entertain her ex-partner's attempts to reconcile. The song opens with the ex-partner reaching out, claiming to miss her, but she quickly dismisses his advances, indicating that she is too busy to listen to his excuses. The use of French phrases like "trop occupée pour t'écouter" (too busy to listen to you) adds a layer of sophistication and international flair to the song, emphasizing her detachment and newfound strength.

Throughout the song, Dua Lipa addresses the ex-partner's insincere apologies and excuses, particularly his use of alcohol as a justification for his behavior. She makes it clear that she is no longer interested in his lies and manipulations, stating, "Ton amour, je m'en lave les mains et tu t'en mords les doigts" (Your love, I wash my hands of it and you regret it). This line highlights her resolve to move forward and not be dragged back into a harmful relationship. The repeated refrain, "Boy, I don't give a fuck," serves as a bold and unapologetic statement of her indifference and empowerment.

The song also touches on themes of self-worth and the importance of setting boundaries. Dua Lipa's refusal to forgive and forget is a testament to her self-respect and determination to prioritize her well-being. The lyrics, "Le pardon est un don dont je ne me servirai pas" (Forgiveness is a gift I will not use), underscore her decision to protect herself from further emotional harm. By the end of the song, it is evident that she has fully embraced her independence and is ready to move on without looking back.
