Wanna Be (feat. GloRilla)

Megan Thee Stallion's 'Wanna Be,' featuring GloRilla, is a bold declaration of self-assurance and independence. The song's lyrics are a testament to the artists' refusal to be defined by their relationships with men, emphasizing their own strength and autonomy. The repeated line 'He don't wanna be saved, don't save him' serves as a mantra for not taking responsibility for a man's actions or well-being, particularly if he is not committed or faithful. This reflects a broader theme of rejecting the societal expectation that women should nurture or 'fix' men, instead advocating for self-preservation and empowerment.

The song also touches on themes of fame and success, with references to New York Fashion Week and being adored like Justin Bieber, suggesting that the artists' identities and self-worth are tied to their achievements and public adoration rather than their romantic entanglements. The lyrics 'I'm the B-A-D-D-E-S-T' and 'I'm mother and you know my trick is your daddy' exude confidence and a sense of superiority, reinforcing the idea that they are in control of their lives and careers.

Cultural references, such as 'White boy wasted, Channing Tatum,' add a playful element to the song, while also highlighting the carefree attitude the artists have towards the men they are involved with. The overall message of 'Wanna Be' is one of self-reliance, confidence, and the rejection of traditional gender roles, particularly within the context of relationships. Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla use their verses to assert their dominance and independence, making it clear that they are not to be underestimated or pigeonholed.
