"Not Your Barbie Girl" is a song by American singer Ava Max, released as a promotional single on August 14, 2018, through Atlantic Records.
Background[]
The song was originally released on December 15, 2017, exclusively through SoundCloud as an early Christmas gift to her fans.[1] It features a sample of the hit song "Barbie Girl" by Aqua. It was later released on the Japanese Edition of Max's debut studio album, Heaven & Hell (2020).
Theme[]
On "Barbie Girl", Aqua sings about allowing a boy to do anything he wants with her, to touch her any way, which is why she is called a barbie.
On "Not Your Barbie Girl", Ava takes a twist on the song. She tells the boy that she's not his barbie girl and that he can't touch her without permission.
Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world
I ain't plastic, call me classic
You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no
[Verse 1]
Pull up to that dream house, god gate heels down
How much do you like this?
Welcome to my bedroom, hallway go down
Say he's got permission
[Pre-Chorus]
I can take myself on a dinner date
Buy myself diamonds and a champagne
Order five courses, then chocolate cake, uh-huh
Actin' like I care when I want a man (I want a man)
Actin' like I care but I don't, and? (but I don't care)
I do my own thing, yeah watch me dance, uh-huh
[Chorus]
Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world
I ain't plastic, call me classic
You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no
[Verse 2]
I'm my own boss, I'm remindin' you of it
Somethin' that you just can't get
Words don't tempt me, tryin' to break me
In these heels I ain't tryin' to trip, no
[Pre-Chorus]
I can take myself on a dinner date
Buy myself diamonds and a champagne
Order five courses, then chocolate cake, uh-huh
Actin' like I care when I want a man (I want a man)
Actin' like I care but I don't, and? (but I don't care)
I do my own thing, yeah watch me dance, uh-huh
[Chorus]
Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world
I ain't plastic, call me classic
You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no
[Bridge]
Did you forget I'm real?
Oh, I'm breathing, touch me, feel
Oh, say I'm your toy to play with, wanna put me in a box
You ain't gonna talk to me like that, you better stop
[Chorus]
Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world
I ain't plastic, call me classic
You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no
[Outro]
Ain't your barbie, no
Ain't your barbie, no
