"Put You On" by Coco Jones is a song about a relationship where one person helps propel the other to success, only to feel neglected and taken for granted once the other person achieves fame and fortune. The song begins with the narrator recalling how they were caught off guard when their partner hit them up in a '97 Civic, talking confidently and impressively. People were amazed and wondered how the narrator managed to attract such a person. The narrator reminisces about how they were supportive of their partner even before they became famous. They believed in their dreams and bought into their promises. However, as their partner's fame grew, they started to change and prioritize their own success. The chorus highlights the narrator's frustration, feeling like they're being replaced by material possessions and the attention of others. The partner flaunts their wealth, wearing expensive jewelry and designer brands. The narrator sarcastically admits to giving their partner a GPS to help them navigate their way to success but now feels like they are no longer needed or wanted. In the second verse, the lyrics express how the partner now spends time with other attractive girls, but they don't compare to the narrator. The partner has gained popularity and fans, making them feel important and sought after. They now frequent clubs that they were once denied entry to, which has seemingly gone to their head. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the narrator's feelings of being cast aside and forgotten. The partner's focus has shifted to their own image and success, leaving the narrator feeling left behind. The song implies that the narrator played a significant role in their partner's journey to success, but now feels unappreciated and replaced. The lyrics express a mix of disappointment, resentment, and sadness as the narrator reflects on how the relationship has changed. Overall, "Put You On" portrays a story of someone who has helped lift their partner up, only to be left in the shadows once fame and fortune are achieved.
