RAYE's song "Flip A Switch (remix) (feat. Coi Leray)" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and resilience. The lyrics delve into the emotional journey of a woman who has been hurt in love and has decided to take control of her life. The opening lines, "Can't just let your guard down and fall for someone anymore / That's what stupid girls do," set the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's resolve to no longer be vulnerable to emotional pain. This sentiment is reinforced with the line, "Fuck lookin' for love / I'ma stay doin' what us bitches do best," indicating a shift from seeking love to embracing self-reliance and independence.

The recurring phrase "Flip a switch on a prick" serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's ability to change her mindset and behavior instantly. This switch represents a transformation from being emotionally available to becoming emotionally detached and self-assured. The imagery of "black heels, black shades" and the nightlife setting of the club, where she sips Hennessy, further emphasizes her newfound confidence and assertiveness. The protagonist's declaration, "Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me," signifies her refusal to be drawn back into toxic relationships, showcasing her strength and determination to move forward.

Coi Leray's verse adds another layer to the narrative, celebrating the protagonist's "pretty bitch energy" and the camaraderie among women who support each other. The lyrics, "We got pretty bitch energy, that's why they hate us / Guns up for the real ones, let that shit bust," highlight the solidarity and empowerment that come from embracing one's self-worth and standing up against those who try to bring them down. The song's closing lines, "Only because I was in love, I opened up / Now I'll open up to your best friend, which one?" reflect a sense of defiance and reclaiming power in the face of betrayal.
