Kid LAROI, Jungkook, Central Cee – Too Much: the lyrics & meaning

Too Much is a song about regrets and wishes connected to a past relationship: in the lyrics, The Kid LAROI, Jungkook, and Central Cee reflect on how that story ended, wishing things had gone differently.

Analyzing the lyrics, it seems the girl was the one deciding to leave. The song’s protagonist says he did many things for her, including buying her clothes and apologizing for his mistakes. But she ultimately decided “she needs some space.”

I’m sayin’ I’m sorry again
Oh, I could never get out of my way
Hit the store and your wardrobe’s replaced
And still all that you do is complain
You keep on throwin’ it back in my face
And now you’re tellin’ me I need some space

So the song is asking: if there was a chance to try again, would you give it another try? Or was this relationship “too much” somehow?

If we had the chance and the time to spend
Would you do it again?
Was it too much?

Sometimes, our needs are simply misaligned with our partner’s ones. Emotions may exist, and we may love each other properly, but that’s not enough. It’s a delicate balance among the phases we live in, the things we need to receive, and the presence we are ready to give. So the question in the lyrics is fair: is it possible that what we had was too much at this precise moment?

What’s sure is that the singer is missing her. And as often happens, it feels like an addiction (“I’m addicted to you now”). However, the rap part by Central Cee can reveal some additional details about the story: her girlfriends told her he was having fun with other girls, and the rapper also admits there is a girl who calls him “daddy.” But he was serious about being with her, and the toothbrush in his bathroom was proving it.

When your girlfriends told you I been f–kin’ ’round
Would you believe me if I told you that they’re lyin’ and that’s just a rumor?
Send you my personal driver, man, this ain’t just a Uber
You know it’s serious when you stay at mine and bring a toothbrush

That summarizes the meaning behind Too Much lyrics: you left, I miss you, and I ask you if you would give me a second chance. Let’s forget what brought us apart and focus on how much I want to love you now. A track about a missed opportunity and the wish to try again what’s worth an effort.

The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook, Central Cee - TOO MUCH (Official Video)

Uh, if we had the chance and the time to spend
Would you do it again? Would you do it again?
Was it too much? Uh, yeah (Too much)
Was it too much? Ayy, uh (Too much)
Now you’re callin’ your friends ’cause I’m gone again
When I’m back around, would you do it again?
Was it too much? Uh, ayy (Too much)
Was it too much? Uh, ayy (Too much)

So tell me what got in the way
And how I thought it was good that it changed
And I’m sayin’ I’m sorry again
Oh, I could never get out of my way
Hit the store and your wardrobe’s replaced
And still all that you do is complain
You keep on throwin’ it back in my face
And now you’re tellin’ me I need some space

So I’m layin’ in my bed tripped off the shrooms now
I’ll be dead before I’m without you now
Realizin’ I’m addicted to you now
Come right here, baby, relax and cool down (Let’s go)
What you sayin’? Hit me back, what’s the move now? (Ooh)
In my brain, no one else, it’s just you now (Yeah)
Let me love you the way that I do now
I never knew how

If we had the chance and the time to spend
Would you do it again? Would you do it again?
Was it too much? Uh, yeah (Too much)
Was it too much? Ayy, uh (Too much)
Now you’re callin’ your friends ’cause I’m gone again
When I’m back around, would you do it again?
Was it too much? Uh, ayy (Too much)
Was it too much? Uh, ayy (Too much)
Was it too much?

Am I doin’ too much?
Do you understand my slang and get my sense of humor?
When your girlfriends told you I been f–kin’ ’round
Would you believe me if I told you that they’re lyin’ and that’s just a rumor?
Send you my personal driver, man, this ain’t just a Uber
You know it’s serious when you stay at mine and bring a toothbrush
Extra panties in your bag and some makeup removers
You know I’m hardly on my own ’cause I stay with a shooter
She call me daddy, she got issues, I am not her father
Hop off the boat, into the jet, leave the yacht at the harbor
She injectin’ with Ozempic, tryna stop her hunger
Huh, I wanked before you came so I can f–k you longer
S650, chauffeur driven, just type your address in
Pack your bags and we can board the next flight, we can check in
Make sure you check that you ain’t forgot your anti-depressants
Before I fly you out again and you make me regret it (Ooh)

Uh, it’s that time, pour it up, let’s take one into the head
Top down, almost crashed ’cause I’m lookin’ at your text
Back and forth, and you mad about s–t I never said
Double text, no reply, but I’m knowin’ that you read it
What you sayin’? Hit me back, what’s the move now? (Ooh)
In my brain, no one else, it’s just you now (Yeah)
Let me love you the way that I do now
I never knew how

If we had the chance and the time to spend
Would you do it again? Would you do it again?
Was it too much? Uh, yeah (Too much, ooh)
Was it too much? Ayy, uh (Too much)
Now you’re callin’ your friends ’cause I’m gone again
When I’m back around, would you do it again? (Would you do it again?)
Was it too much? Uh, ayy (Too much)
Was it too much? Uh, ayy (Tell me, was it too much?)
Was it too much?

Was it too much? (Ooh)
Was it too much? (Ooh)
Was it too much?
