The song begins with, “Woke up this morning to somebody in a video talking about something I posted in a video,” referencing the popularity Lizzo and other celebrities experience online.
She continues, “Fame is pretty new, but I’ve been used to people judging me. / That’s why I move the way I moved and why I’m so in love with me.”
Lizzo then sings “I’m used to feeling alone” leading up to the chorus, where she assures listeners that they, too, are special in their own way.
“So I thought that I’d let you know / In case nobody told you today, you’re special,” the chorus goes, continuing with, “In case nobody made you believe you’re special. / Well, I’ll always love you the same. You’re special.”
“It’s exciting to see a brand put so much heart into achieving real change and stand up to societal norms,” she said, adding that “fame looks a lot different today than it used to.”
“My dreams are coming true. People love my music. That’s all I ever wanted. I was really hungry back then, burning the candle at both ends,” she said at the time. “Now I have this sort of calm to me, like: ‘You’ve done it. Enjoy it. Appreciate it.'”
Lizzo later noted that she believes finding commercial success “is where the pressure is” for musicians. “Everyone’s like, ‘You gotta have the same type of No. 1s and Grammys,’ " she told PEOPLE. “First of all, I didn’t expect none of that, so I’m not expecting it this time either.”
“What I do expect of myself is to make great music, and I’ve done that,” she added.
