TREAT MYSELF Lyrics
Damn, I been working real hard on myself, on my health, and my happiness
Hit pause on my life, took time on my mind, been working less
'Cause I lost myself, I forgot myself, and I don't deserve it
Okay...
[Chorus]
Let me give myself a hand, uh-huh
Let me give myself a hand, uh-huh
Tell myself "get up and dance"
So I move my feet, I love all of me, uh-huh
Let me give myself a hand
[Post-Chorus]
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, I want it)
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, I want it)
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, I want it)
Uh-huh, let me give my...
Woo!
[Verse 2]
Ooo, I promised to myself that I'ma treat me right (Amen, hey!)
Ooo, I try my best to never have a sleepless night
I'll fight for me, and honestly I deserve some credit
Okay, babe
Let me give myself a hand, uh-huh (Woo!)
Let me give myself a hand, uh-huh (C'mon)
Tell myself "get up and dance"
So I move my feet, I love all of me, uh-huh
Let me give myself a hand (Woo!)
[Post-Chorus]
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, I want it)
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, I want it)
I want it, I'ma treat myself (I'ma, I'ma treat myself)
Uh-huh, let me give my...
[Bridge]
Say, I'm gon' be good to me, you could be good to you
I'm gon' be good to me, you could be good to you (Hey!)
I'm gon' be good to me, you could be good to you, oh
[Chorus]
Let me give myself a hand, uh-huh
Let me give myself a hand, uh-huh (Hey!)
Tell myself "get up and dance" (Get up)
So I move my feet, I love all of me, uh-huh
Let me give myself a hand (he-ey)
[Post-Chorus]
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, oh, baby, treat yourself)
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, woo)
I want it, I'ma treat myself (ahhh, say I'm gon' be good to me, treat myself)
Uh-huh, let me give my... (You could be good to you)
About
This bass-driven, fun-loving song was released as a promotional single for Meghan Trainor’s third studio album. On The Zach Sang Show Trainor revealed it was a personal song to her:
I did one song called ‘Treat Myself’ and it was about how, finally, when my therapist looked at me and was like, ‘Look at you! You’re not shaking anymore and you’re not miserable and sad! You’re like, really happy and everything is going great for you — don’t forget to treat yourself and do something for you. Go get a spa day or do something. I bought a car and was like, ‘treat myself!‘"

Meghan told The Zach Sang Show:
I was uneducated about anxiety and how it could physically rattle you. I assumed no one had experienced what I was going through because when I would tell my mom ‘I’m going to the emergency room because I can’t breathe right now’ she would be like ‘no, no, I’ll come rub your head.’ The songs that came after this, I was like, ‘ha ha!’ I did one song called ‘Treat Myself’ and it was about how, finally, when my therapist looked at me and was like, ‘Look at you! You’re not shaking anymore and you’re not miserable and sad! You’re like, really happy and everything is going great for you — don’t forget to treat yourself and do something for you. Go get a spa day or do something. I bought a car and was like, ‘treat myself!'
