Song Meaning of “Play Me” by Kirko Bangz
‘Play Me’ by Kirko Bangz is a passionate plea for companionship and validation from a loved one. The narrator is a man who isn’t sure if they are worth the time and effort of his partner, and he’s asking his partner to be honest and show him how he feels. He’s willing to take whatever comes his way, but wants the assurance of knowing he is worth the relationship, rather than being left on his own. In the chorus, he emphasizes this plea by singing “play me, don’t just play my heart/let me know you feel something too/play me, don’t just play me like a fool/let me know you feel something too.” This is his simple and direct way of letting his partner know that he is ready to take whatever their relationship may bring, but he needs to know that his partner feels something too. He’s asking his partner to be open and honest with their emotions, and express to him how they feel.
