This song subconsciously helped me get out of a narcissistic relationship. Every little thing I did for myself made me feel selfish. Every time I grew he made me feel selfish. So when we broke up and I had to find another place while still living in the same house I started blasting this song, even if at first I felt like a brat for even listening to my own impulses, this song helped me. And from there I manifested the best living place I could have ever wished for, while I'm typing this I'm still healing from a lot of narcissistic programming but at least my SELFISH ways got me into a better place. Whoever needs to read this. YES. BE SELFISH. GO GET THAT. WHATEVER IT IS! Especially when you've been selfless for too long. You know who you are babe.
You took some brave steps forward,I'm moving so slow feels like I'm still standing but it's crazy to me that no one ever calls you out for being selfless but soon as you decide to shift the focus on yourself,,you're selfish and everyone knows it but U
I'm happy for you, people need to be carefull because it can happen to anyone with anyone. For most of my childhood and my life until a couple years ago, it was like this for me with my family even if it was involuntarily on their part, I'm still a young guy but those behaviors are really hard to leave behind and things really bottle up and you feel uncomfortable with yourself, you have to give yourself time to balance out your selfishness and selflessness, you'll get there💪🏾
I know this song is probably originally intended to speak about a woman's experience as she starts to stand up for herself more. But being a person from an Asian background shackled with a strong religious and familial values, just when I just need to stand up for my individual values more, this song also speaks to my soul. Bruh I can't sleep at night but I also don't wanna fight. Thanks for this cathartic moment.
This song helped me embrace my own well being and realize I was being gaslit by my now ex husband. I was the main income earner and had 90% of my parenting and house duties, but he called me selfish constantly for wanting to make time to exercise and meditate. I’ll never forget this past March when he said “oh god I can’t believe my 2 year old is singing about being savage” I said “no no, she’s saying selfish not savage. This is kind of my jam now- you called me selfish so many times I love what the word means to me now.” He did not like that. Been separated for 5 months now and loving every day of my new life 🙂. Here I sit 20lbs lighter in my new place, meditating and working out every damn day, got a recent promotion, and dating for the first time since college 13 years ago. Moms out there: be selfish, raise your vibration, and manifest the life you deserve.
This song also helped me cope with breaking up with my ex. Your story sounds somewhat similar to mine. He was just using me for money and screwing other women on the side. I'm glad you're doing amazing, you Queen! 🔥🦋✨
"You don’t have to prove you got it when you know it’s yours." I'm going through a rough time, feeling like I'm never enough, and that verse felt like a warm hug. Ily Simbi
What makes Little Simz so unique is that she has the power of giving words wings. So that they can escape from her mind finding their way through the mouth.
I've been listening to this song at least once a week for a year now: PERFECTION. True Hip hop spirit, vibe, melody and meaning. Big up from Lille, France to Little Simz and Cleo Sol for this masterpiece. You Brit Ladies rule!!!
Reminds me so much of good vibes like this ruclips.net/video/J1oG1FcVRnA/видео.html or that ruclips.net/video/EqRn70O-HBI/видео.html Keep up with melodic tunes, they are the ones that last for true hip-hop music heads
I can NOT get enough of this video, LOVE it! Little Simz smooth voice and Cleo sol singing back up, I can’t wait to hear what they make next. I also liked the sexy 70’s theme, Awesome job to all involved in making this.

Sublime! A timeless vibe to this song - great arrangement on the vocals and the old school drum sound. BBC 6 Music are playing this constantly as of February '19
THIS SISTER IS SO FLY!!! So happy I found her❤️.. now I got some new head banging to workout to .. drive down the highway to... bump to when I’m cleaning... 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿🎵🎶🎵🎶💯
When you make every lyrical bar a gift for those who can't find the words themselves. A song about growth, it's never easy, is it? But it is always worth it. Thanks to everyone who made this track possible, good music changes lives
Is it just me, or does this feel like it could also be on Sometimes I Might Be Introvert? Like I think this is where she got that vibe nailed, and said, alright, now were gonna do that but like 1000× better, and for that, i just think shes the best. What a powerhouse you are Simbi, fucking go girl!!! 💖🕊

Great? She aint great just yet, and i'm a fan, this is a pleasant tune only.

Same, living in Asia I always felt family and traditional values are sometimes taking over my individuality. But yeah this song slaps.
I hope u already find what's best for you
The fact that you made your statement means that a change on the RISE. up!

True indeed live your life
When you realise you deserve better, nothing can stop you, glad you are living for you, your daughter has a great role model ❤️
🙌🏽❤️
This song also helped me cope with breaking up with my ex. Your story sounds somewhat similar to mine. He was just using me for money and screwing other women on the side.
I'm glad you're doing amazing, you Queen! 🔥🦋✨

Ayy love your music man

"My best friend is *I*

Thank you.

How does this not have 200 mil views? This should be on every radio station everywhere.
Can’t believe I only heard this now , so underrated & beautiful
Same. She's such a breath of fresh air.
Little Simz back at it again. Cleo went off on the hook too. And the production is fire too. 10/10
can't stop listening to this.
This is making me so happy, the song is absolutely amazing and the music video is gorgeous!
the lyrics are codes, speaking straight to the soul
Lil Simz is so good... digging this direction she’s going. Jazzy and lush. Love it.
It looks so casual but just imagine all the precise editing this took

Seeing Cleo dance is everything
Dat bass dat groove and flow 🔥
Soulful, and true lyrics keep flowing
My current jam. They both flow beautifully.
L Y R I C S
I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish
Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish
Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh
I'm so selfish
Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh
I'm so selfish
Got a very big ego
Embedded in me that's the heritage ego
And let 'em hate, they ain't messing with the steeze though
And now I'm here, can't entertain no bummy niggas
Need my nigga fresh in a tuxedo
Me and my new case, steady blowing weed smoke
I'm a woman, who can teach you a little somethin' 'bout class
Diamonds will forever be a girls best friend
Everything's imperative for the way I live
I know it's material but not irrelevant
All this here is worked for, not inherited
Tell myself I write my niggas off but never did
Self loving
Need more self loving
That's how it goes
They wanna know you when your buzzing
But first things first
Number one and priority, call it what you want
Doesn't phase, doesn't bother me
Honestly
I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish
Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish
Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh
I'm so selfish
Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh
I'm so selfish
Love and hate can never be friends
Don't rush everything in this divine time
I peach, you couldn't handle a woman in my caliber
Had to let you mature like some fine wine, yeah
No validation, no applause
You don't have prove you got it when you know it's yours
I don't wanna feel disloyal for wanting to do me
Then you act brand new but I know the cause, wait
Call it what you like
'Til now I ain't ever been the selfish type
'Til now I ain't ever told nobody no
Don't get it twisted, this shit didn't happen overnight
Still I feel life is amazing what you got to fear?
Can't be concerned about what they're saying over there
I make it clear don't be in and out about what you hear
They say I always get what I want and it isn't fair
But life isn't fair
Go
I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is high
I'm so selfish
Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish
Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh
I'm so selfish
Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh
I'm so selfish
Selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish
Selfish
love you so much, thank you!!! :)
Thanks 😊
