“My Fun” by Suki Waterhouse is a tantalizing burst of summer energy, brimming with passion and a golden sense of freedom. This pop anthem paints a vibrant picture of love, featuring a whirlwind romance, shared adventures, and the provocative joy of being wholly in love with both life and a significant other.
Right from the fourth verse, Waterhouse sets the stage with “Blood on the grass, blood on my knees/Waited so long to find some peace.” She lays out raw emotions, alluding to past struggles, perhaps from previous relationships or personal battles. The mention of ‘blood’ signifies trials she’s had to endure before she found peace in this blossoming love. But don’t get it twisted, she isn’t dwelling there. She quickly flips the tone and says, “You make me laugh, you bless my sneeze,” illustrating the comfort and casual intimacy she shares with her lover.
Rolling into the chorus, “`Take off my shoes and put yours on…God, it feels good to find someone/Who loves me/Who loves me like/I love my fun.`” Now that’s a wordplay if I’ve ever seen one, folks. Waterhouse equates her love for having fun with being loved, a beautifully unconventional way to express the depth of her feelings. The chorus is purely effervescent and joyous. She emphasizes her lover’s acceptance, their shared happiness, and the blissful intensity of their relationship.
She dials up the romance in “`God, you’re so pretty I fell to the floor/You helped me back up and kissed my lips sore.`” The physical and emotional chemistry is vividly etched; the graphic details pull the listener into the romantic vortex she’s lost in. When she sings, “Everyone said I’m too crazy to keep/But you’re the one who sweeps me off of my feet,” the lyrical confession clarifies her lover’s acceptance of her wild side, which others may have misunderstood or underappreciated before.
The song ends with a rhythmic repetition of “`You got a good woman/Yeah, babe, you got a good woman`”—a hypnotic chant affirming her lover’s luck in finding a woman like her. This isn’t narcissistic, it’s bodacious, self-assured, and paints an enthralling image of her impassioned perspective on love.
In the audacious universe of pop music, Suki Waterhouse’s “My Fun” is a confident, radiant, and deeply joyous anthem. It revels in the pleasures of love and living in the moment, while also hinting at the trials overcome, making this pop number a captivating testament to love’s radiant power.
