Lil Simz is never what you expect, unless you expect greatness.

This song subconsciously helped me get out of a narcissistic relationship. Every little thing I did for myself made me feel selfish. Every time I grew he made me feel selfish. So when we broke up and I had to find another place while still living in the same house I started blasting this song, even if at first I felt like a brat for even listening to my own impulses, this song helped me. And from there I manifested the best living place I could have ever wished for, while I'm typing this I'm still healing from a lot of narcissistic programming but at least my SELFISH ways got me into a better place. Whoever needs to read this. YES. BE SELFISH. GO GET THAT. WHATEVER IT IS! Especially when you've been selfless for too long. You know who you are babe.

This song helped me embrace my own well being and realize I was being gaslit by my now ex husband. I was the main income earner and had 90% of my parenting and house duties, but he called me selfish constantly for wanting to make time to exercise and meditate. I’ll never forget this past March when he said “oh god I can’t believe my 2 year old is singing about being savage” I said “no no, she’s saying selfish not savage. This is kind of my jam now- you called me selfish so many times I love what the word means to me now.” He did not like that. Been separated for 5 months now and loving every day of my new life 🙂. Here I sit 20lbs lighter in my new place, meditating and working out every damn day, got a recent promotion, and dating for the first time since college 13 years ago. Moms out there: be selfish, raise your vibration, and manifest the life you deserve.

0:47 UGH The way she starts rapping and the background turns red. This song and music video are just phenomenal

I know this song is probably originally intended to speak about a woman's experience as she starts to stand up for herself more. But being a person from an Asian background shackled with a strong religious and familial values, just when I just need to stand up for my individual values more, this song also speaks to my soul. Bruh I can't sleep at night but I also don't wanna fight. Thanks for this cathartic moment.

She's so smooth and talented. Love her vibe 🌊💙

here after marie and malcolm. this song is everything

That bass slaps. That low voice. That crazy text. That catchy Refrain. It's just fits

"My best friend is *I* I'm so selfish" gave me a self love tune I desperately needed. Thank you.

What makes Little Simz so unique is that she has the power of giving words wings. So that they can escape from her mind finding their way through the mouth.

Jhees! Got me dancing in the kitchen

"You don’t have to prove you got it when you know it’s yours." I'm going through a rough time, feeling like I'm never enough, and that verse felt like a warm hug. Ily Simbi

Cleo and Lil Simz🔥 make magic together.

The world is too Fake for raw talents like Little Smiz ! Please don’t ever stop, real people need you.

The bassline is genius...

Malcom & Marie brought me here 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

I've been listening to this song at least once a week for a year now: PERFECTION. True Hip hop spirit, vibe, melody and meaning. Big up from Lille, France to Little Simz and Cleo Sol for this masterpiece. You Brit Ladies rule!!!

Little Simz back at it again. Cleo went off on the hook too. And the production is fire too. 10/10

Album three. GREY Area. March 1st 2019 ◻️◻️◻️littlesimz.lnk.to/GREYAreaYD

Can’t believe I only heard this now , so underrated & beautiful

PERFEITA

It looks so casual but just imagine all the precise editing this took

The album is a masterpiece - an overused word, but not the wrong one.

my girl changing the game like it's nothing

This will be still played in 100 years. Classic

" I'm a woman, who can teach you a little somethin' about class. "

Soulful, and true lyrics keep flowing

This is making me so happy, the song is absolutely amazing and the music video is gorgeous!

Discovered both these queens on The Colors Show 😍😍😍😍😍😍 still in love with them both.

the lyrics are codes, speaking straight to the soul

Dat bass dat groove and flow 🔥

can't stop listening to this.

How does this not have 200 mil views? This should be on every radio station everywhere.

Cleo beautiful man...i can feel her energy.

I can NOT get enough of this video, LOVE it! Little Simz smooth voice and Cleo sol singing back up, I can’t wait to hear what they make next. I also liked the sexy 70’s theme, Awesome job to all involved in making this.

Sublime! A timeless vibe to this song - great arrangement on the vocals and the old school drum sound. BBC 6 Music are playing this constantly as of February '19

My current jam. They both flow beautifully.

THIS SISTER IS SO FLY!!! So happy I found her❤️.. now I got some new head banging to workout to .. drive down the highway to... bump to when I’m cleaning... 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿🎵🎶🎵🎶💯

A phenomena! A force of our age. I am loving watching Little Simz soar

Those people who disliked have never seen a dead body.

Ugh, this is some Anderson .Paak vibe right here. I am seriously digging this right now.

Hip Hop Album of the Year. Quality from start to finish.Period.

Two of my favourite ladies. They keep coming. 💚

Little Simz music is one of the most versatile in the U.K.

I had listened to this for about 10 times and still get goosebumps. Very good.

That groove

One of the best albums of 2019 in my opinion!

I'm in love whit this song, plus I feel sad and sentimental

Happy to see there is still quality in 2019!

Came from Malcolm and Marie, love the song❤️

Listening to Little Simz has restored my faith in the younger generation of hip hop. This young lady got bars.

this is probably one of the best songs by her!

The vocals are lovely and just in general the whole song is great, what a nice and soothing track. Her production is impressive

Why doesn't this vid have more hits? Best track of 2019.

Simz killing it with that smooth flow she's soo talented its unreal ❤️

Brilliant track. The vocals are simply melodic and Little Simz is flawless. Superb music😉💯🙌🏿🙌🏿👌🏿

Got onto this very late in the day, after Glastonbury 2022. Love it. Her flow is sublime👌

When you make every lyrical bar a gift for those who can't find the words themselves. A song about growth, it's never easy, is it? But it is always worth it. Thanks to everyone who made this track possible, good music changes lives

Love! I threw my daughter a Alice in wonderland themed bday, and listened to stillness in wonderland the whole time. Made pink flamingo croquet mallets with googly eyes, painting roses I made out of coffee filters, and you would not believe how much bleeping food coloring it took to get my blessed flippin fondant roses red on her bleeping cupcakes. Anyway you helped me get through that, “I don’t want to be in this wonderland no more.”. Still freaking pinkish roses, freaking my neuroses (new roses l0l) , so sure not wanting to ever do a themed bday party ever again. “My roses better be red!” So selfish 👑

I havent stopped listening to little simz since hearing this song what a beautiful song and what an amazing talent she is

Two of my favorites!!!

Man I love this so much! Thanks Melon!

probably my favorite track 2022 right now! perfect colab

Forever grateful to you Simz and Cleo for blessing us with this jam 🙌🏽😻

Smooth and nice, this girl dey bang!

"How much perfection do you want in all this?" Little Simz: yes.

I can't sleep at night I don't wanna fight My best friend is I I'm so selfish Guess I'm in denial Maybe I'm wrong, you're right Heard it all my life I'm so selfish Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh I'm so selfish Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh I'm so selfish Got a very big ego Embedded in me that's the heritage ego And let 'em hate, they ain't messing with the steeze though And now I'm here, can't entertain no bummy niggas Need my nigga fresh in a tuxedo Me and my new case, steady blowing weed smoke I'm a woman, who can teach you a little somethin' 'bout class Diamonds will forever be a girls best friend Everything's imperative for the way I live I know it's material but not irrelevant All this here is worked for, not inherited Tell myself I write my niggas off but never did Self loving Need more self loving That's how it goes They wanna know you when your buzzing But first things first Number one and priority, call it what you want Doesn't phase, doesn't bother me Honestly I can't sleep at night I don't wanna fight My best friend is I I'm so selfish Guess I'm in denial Maybe I'm wrong, you're right Heard it all my life I'm so selfish Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh I'm so selfish Ah-ah-ah-ah-huh I'm so selfish Love and hate can never be friends Don't rush everything in this divine time I peach, you couldn't handle a woman in my caliber Had to let you mature like some fine wine, yeah No validation, no applause You don't have prove you got it when you know it's yours I don't wanna feel disloyal for wanting to do me Then you act brand new but I know the cause, wait Call it what you like 'Til now I ain't ever been the selfish type 'Til now I ain't ever told nobody no Don't get it twisted, this shit didn't happen overnight Still I feel life is amazing what you got to fear?

Énorme morceau!! Avec ce phrasé façon Bahamadia...ÉNORME !!!! Thxxxxxxx

Cleo sol is…. So Enchanting

Cleo really lifts the low on this one, so lovely to have her here!

U and ray BLK need to collab....2 blk queen's setting things on 🔥

Is it just me, or does this feel like it could also be on Sometimes I Might Be Introvert? Like I think this is where she got that vibe nailed, and said, alright, now were gonna do that but like 1000× better, and for that, i just think shes the best. What a powerhouse you are Simbi, fucking go girl!!! 💖🕊

There's 4 types of songs. Bad songs, songs that grow on you, great songs and songs that sound like you've heard them before. This song summarises the last 2 types perfectly.

This that mellow chilling blaze a zoot kinda vibes 😌🙌🏾👌🏾🔥🔥🔥

A good rapper with little or lil' in their name, one of a kind

This song is so beautiful, can't wait for the album ❤❤❤

The bass in this song is wonderful!!

Every tune by little simz is a vibe

I love how Simz has a good mixture of Guy and Girl fans.
