In “Messy,” Lola Young tells the story of someone who feels like they can never be themselves without being criticized by their partner. No matter what she does, she feels like she’s either too messy, too clean, too clever, too dumb, or simply too much. The song is basically her getting fed up with constantly trying to meet someone else’s expectations and asking, “Why can’t you just accept me as I am?” It’s blunt, sarcastic, and frustrated, but underneath all of that is a pretty relatable message about wanting to be accepted without having to change yourself. It was released on May 30, 2024.

• Lola Young - Messy (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
You know I'm impatient
So why would you leave me waiting outside the station
When it was like minus four degrees?
And I, I get what you're sayin'
I just really don't wanna hear it right now
Can you shut up for like once in your life?
Listen to me
I took your nice words of advice about
How you think I'm gonna die lucky if I turned thirty-three
Okay, so yeah, I smoke like a chimney
I'm not skinny and I pull a Britney
Every other week
But cut me some slack, who do you want me to be?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job", then you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect till I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever, and then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot
[Post-Chorus]
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate, you hate
[Verse 2]
It's taking you ages
You still don't get the hint, I'm not asking for pages
But one text or two would be nice
And please don't pull those faces
When I've been out working my arse off all day
It's just one bottle of wine or two
But hey, you can't even talk
You smoke weed just to help you sleep
Then why you out gettin' stoned at 4 o'clock?
And then you come home to me
And don't say hello
'Cause I got high again
And forgot to fold my clothes
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job", then you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect till I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever, and then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot
[Post-Chorus]
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job", then you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect till I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever, and then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot
[Outro]
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
