Self Love Lyrics

[Verse 2: Coi Leray]
Big dreams, yeah (Yo), big screams, yeah (Oh, yo)
She's impressionable

Hate to see, yeah (Woah), money scheme, yeah (Woah)
Livin' questionable
My friends drive (Yo) new beamers (Oh, yo)
Drop top convertibles
Love hangin' out, say you hate it now
Feelin’ introvertical

[Chorus: Coi Leray]
Self-love, he don't love himself, tryna love me
Cuff me, told the truth to him, he don't trust me
Self-love, he don't love himself, tryna love me
Cuff me, told the truth to him, he don't trust me

[Refrain: Coi Leray]
Oh my, she's a long way from suburban towns
Came to the city for the love, got her hurtin' now
Oh my, she's a long way from suburban towns
Long way, really long way from suburbia

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Coi Leray]
Self-love, he don't love himself, tryna love me
Cuff me, told the truth to him, he don't trust me
Self-love, he don't love himself, tryna love me
Cuff me, told the truth to him, he don't trust me

[Refrain: Coi Leray]
Oh my, she's a long way from suburban towns
Came to the city for the love, got her hurtin' now
Oh my, she's a long way from suburban towns
Long way, really long way from suburbia

[Outro: Hailee Steinfeld & Shameik Moore]
In every other universe Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man, and in every other universe it doesn't end well
Well, it's a first time for everything, right?

Genius Annotation

On “Self Love”, the first official collaboration between Metro Boomin and Coi Leray, Coi details her meaning of love, and how she is it at the center of it.

While also reflecting upon how far she has made it from the suburbs of Massachusetts, Coi alludes to the story of Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. More specifically, how Gwen left her own universe in search of belonging, whilst trying to repair her relationship with Miles Morales, a difficult task.

“Self Love” was teased across various social media platforms during May of 2023 in promotion of the soundtrack to Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, and soon released with the album.
