"All About You" by Ella Eyre is a song about self-discovery, empowerment, and letting go of toxic relationships. The lyrics convey the narrator's realization that their efforts in a relationship were unappreciated and that they were not receiving the same love and support in return. The song begins with the narrator expressing that they have been down the same road for too long and can no longer continue in the same way. They are tired of the situation and no longer want to be a part of it. The repeated "Auw" serves as an expression of frustration and determination. The chorus emphasizes the one-sided nature of the relationship. The narrator gave their all, sacrificing their life, soul, and heart, but their partner only wanted more. Despite their efforts, they received nothing in return. The verses highlight the narrator's realization that they have worked hard to provide for their partner's needs, but their efforts have gone unnoticed. They feel unimportant and believe that their partner has been blinded to their true worth. The repetition of "it's all about you" emphasizes the self-centeredness and lack of reciprocity in the relationship. As the song progresses, the narrator becomes more empowered and confident. They declare that they are mad, bitter, and no longer care about changing their partner or the situation. They want to move on and leave behind the negativity. The bridge of the song acknowledges that the narrator has been in the shadow of their partner and has suffered as a result. They realize that staying silent and not speaking up only led to getting hurt. The repetitive phrase "won't get better" emphasizes the futility of expecting things to change. In the end, the narrator recognizes that their worth is not defined by their partner's actions or lack thereof. They have learned their lesson and are ready to focus on themselves, their own growth, and finding happiness. The repetition of "it's all about you" in the final chorus serves as a reminder that they have moved past the selfishness of the past and are now prioritizing their own well-being.
