Song Meaning of “Everybody’s Trying to Be My Baby” by Carl Perkins
This song is a rockabilly classic that reflects on how good times can bring out the worst in people. The narrator in the song is tired of how everyone around him constantly jockeying for his attention, always wanting to be close to him and ingratiate themselves into his life. He feels crowded and overwhelmed, and he wants to be left alone and not have such a huge spotlight cast on him, as it’s almost too much to bear. It’s a cautionary tale about how fame or success can quickly start to feel like a burden, and how important it is to stay grounded and maintain healthy relationships amidst it all.
