The song "Awkward" by Eric Bellinger is about a broken relationship and the uncomfortable aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist's ex-partner is still trying to involve themselves in their life, contacting their family and causing drama. The protagonist tries to move on and questions why their ex is still calling their friends and trying to maintain a presence in their life. The awkwardness is emphasized by the protagonist's interactions with the ex's sister, specifically by liking her pictures on social media. The protagonist acknowledges that the situation is uncomfortable and wants to let go and move on. However, in the verse featuring The Game, he adds another perspective to the song. He addresses the ex and explains that they can't be friends anymore, suggesting that they should see other people. The Game illustrates that he has moved on and is with someone better, describing the difference in attitude and attractiveness between the ex and his current partner. He expresses frustration with the ex's actions, mentioning her behavior at his mother's house and in his direct messages. The verse ends with him suggesting she seek professional help by referencing a straitjacket. Overall, the song captures the awkwardness and discomfort that can arise after a breakup, with both artists expressing their desire to move on and disengage from the past relationship.
