JoJo Siwa, Karma: the song lyrics & their meaning

Posted by

JoJo Siwa enters a new phase of her career with Karma, a song about life and mistakes: let’s analyze the lyrics and their meaning.

Karma triggered the buzz on the internet way before it was actually released: it has been defined as the song that will move JoJo Siwa into the adult phase of her career, and many compared it to what Miley Cyrus did in 2013 with Wrecking Ball. It’s a song about life, love, and mistakes, and fans want to know more about its lyrics and the meaning they hide. Even though the complete lyrics are not yet available, we can already learn something from the snippet released so far: in this article, we’ll analyze what we have so far.

JoJo Siwa, Karma: the song lyrics & their meaning

Although the complete lyrics are not available, we can already get a clear idea of what Karma is about from the snippet shared by JoJo Siwa in March 2024: it’s a song about love, cheating, and paying the price for our mistakes.

We know what karma is: in Indian culture, it’s the way we deal with the consequences of our actions. If we make a mistake or bring pain to others, those actions will return to our lives somehow. Reading the Karma lyrics, it’s evident that JoJo Siwa did something she regrets:

I was a bad girl, I did some bad things
I swear I did it all for fun and it meant nothing

The kind of mistake she made becomes clear later in the song: first, she talks about lying and cheating, and then she mentions a girl who’s already with someone else:

Thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat
Thou shall not get caught or you’ll end up just like me

When I saw the pics of you and her I felt the knife twist
Karma’s a b- -h, and she’s with you right now

Therefore, the meaning of Karma and its lyrics becomes clear: it’s probably a reference to a recent personal experience in JoJo Siwa’s life. She was in love with another girl, but the mistake made one night cost her the whole relationship. They broke up after the singer was “caught” in that mistake, and now the other girl already moved on. All this because of a “wild night” when JoJo Siwa did something without thinking too much about it.

Another late night, another crazy mood
And I didn’t think twice what it would do to you

We may discover something more once the song is officially released: we’ll keep this article updated. Meanwhile, you will find below the audio and lyrics that have been available so far.

I was a bad girl, I did some bad things
I swear I did it all for fun and it meant nothing
It never happened, it was a secret
Like when a tree falls in the forest, no one hears it
Another late night, another crazy mood
And I didn’t think twice what it would do to you
I was a wild child, you always knew it
It was a matter of time before I blew it

Thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat
Thou shall not get caught or you’ll end up just like me, oh

Karma’s a b- -h, I should’ve known better
If I had a wish I would’ve never F’d around
When I saw the pics of you and her I felt the knife twist
Karma’s a b- -h, and she’s with you right now
