Hug me
Pharrell Williams feat. Trey Parker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you insist on trying to give me away
When they were too good and you wanted to shake them, who came?

I was your dirty boy, your good, new secret toy
Show me how they get you joy (who stayed in trouble with you?)
Oh, don't you want some more? Come on, I think they're gone
Our part is coming on (you're either with me or)
Hug me (bring it in)
Won't you loosen up, won't ya
Hug me (bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture

Wake up, you're sleeping on me, playing this stupid game
Why can't we flex on the world and make them say our name

Our favorite color's purple, we stay out past the curfew
My kung-fu grip will hurt you (who stayed in trouble with you?)
You dyed your hair like me, black so everyone can see
Your parents couldn't believe (you're either with me or)

Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up? Would ya
Hug me? (bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture

Oh would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya, would ya
Oh would ya
Oh would ya, would ya loosen up, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya
Would ya wanna take a picture?

Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up? Would ya
Hug me? (bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture
Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up? Would ya




Hug me? (bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hug Me by Pharrell Williams feat. Trey Parker are about a couple who are in love, but the girl is afraid of showing her feelings in public. The first two lines address her insecurities as the boy asks why she insists on trying to give him away, just because she feels shy. He then reminds her that when they were newly in love, she could not let go of him despite her reservations. He proceeds to ask her who stayed in trouble with her when things got tough, implying that he is the one she can rely on. The chorus "Hug me, won't you loosen up? Hug me, I think they wanna take a picture" is both a plea for her to relax and enjoy their love and a challenge to show the world their affection.


In the second verse, the boy talks about their shared interests and how they stand out from the crowd. He emphasizes their unique bond by pointing out that they have similar hairstyles and their favorite color is purple. The line "My kung-fu grip will hurt you" suggests that he will fiercely protect their love. He then asks the girl if she wants to take a picture with him, again challenging her to break free from her inhibitions.


The song has an upbeat, playful vibe, with catchy beats and a repetitive hook. It sends a message of self-love and fearlessness in expressing one's emotions. It also challenges the listener to live in the moment and embrace their passions.

Hey
Why do you insist on trying to give me away (hey, hey)
When they were too good and you wanted to shake them, who came?
I was your dirty boy, you're the new secret toy
Show me off and get your joy (who stayed in trouble with you?)
Oh, don't you want some more? Come on, I think they're gone
Our part is coming on (you're either with me or doomed)
Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up, would ya
Hug me? (Bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture
Wake up, you're sleeping on me, playing this stupid game
Why can't we flex on the world and make them say our name
Our favorite color's purple, we stay out past the curfew
My kung-fu grip will hurt you (who stayed in trouble with you?)
You dyed your hair like me, black so everyone can see
Your parents couldn't believe (you're either with me or doomed)
Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up? Would ya
Hug me? (Bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture
Oh would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya loosen up, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya, would ya
Oh would ya, would ya, would ya
Would ya wanna take a picture?
Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up? Would ya
Hug me? (Bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture
Hug me (bring it in)
Would ya loosen up? Would ya
Hug me? (Bring it in)
I think they wanna take a picture



@Fulminocs

I swear during this hard period ( I cry easly for sad songs ) this made me happier for 3 reasons :

1. SOUTH PARK;

2. Gives me vibes of when I was young and I watched this movie;

3. It’s just a good vibe yk.

So adding to my Spotify playlist 😍
