She wrote this about her father, who betrayed her. She is thanking him for shoeibg her the strength she had within herself. The words are very powerful but sad!
It's important to understand the context of this song, as explained in other comments - it's quite personal to AJ, about overcoming betrayal by her father/stepfather (we don't know which it is).....but also very relatable by others. Angelina is a brilliant songwriter in addition to her God-given and honed-over-a-decade vocal talent. AND as here she nearly always finds a way in her lyrics to convey a positive empowering message even when dealing with heartache and adversity.
Style to emote over precise diction. Angelina Jordan's unique pronunciation style is a deliberate artistic choice that enhances her emotive singing performances. This approach has roots in the jazz tradition, where vocal expression and the emotional conveyance of lyrics often take precedence over precise diction. Jordan's style has captivated audiences worldwide, showcasing her ability to convey deep emotions and connect with listeners on a profound level. Her talent and distinctive style have earned her a place among notable artists who use their voice as an instrument to evoke feelings and tell stories through music.
Thank You for your reaction Lucie. Angelina has the ability to transition from low to high octave effortlessly. This song has a very Reggae vibe which is generally happy song,but this is all about out the massive betrayal she felt when her father walked away from her because of a divorce, but it made her a better person. She explained this before the song. Unfortunately, this part is somehow missing from the video.❤❤👣❤❤
"Thank You" Lyrics by Angelina Jordan (This was a best guess group effort) Listen, threw all your clothes right out the window Threw out the jewelry that you gave me Burned all the pictures of me and you (What's someone to do) No no no no Don’t wait too much or long for therapy Thought I would struggle then to find out I wasn’t the problem the problem was you With all your words They couldn't calm or magnetize ya In your tears they couldn't explain for you And my mind is made up Because all that has to do about you Look what you made me do I didn’t know I had it in me Thought I would lose myself without you But I learned how to love me, yeah Look what you made me doooooo No, I could never change for no one That’s the thing ‘bout me I never knew Oooo Look what you made me do Thank you for being so hard to please you Thank you for giving me one more reason Thank you for showing me your true colors And thank you for messing my heart up Thank you for being so hard to please you Thank you for giving me one more reason Thank you for showing me your true colors [Me your true colors] Think it through I don't blame my mother for minding what I want Don't know what's specially about you yeah My hell being driven by your lies My hell being driven by your stories Go and tell someone else who'll believe That's the truth about you, Oh Oh Oh Look What you made me do I didn’t know I had it in me Thought I would lose myself without you But I learned how to love me, yeah Look what you made me do I could do without the way you are No I could never change for no one That's the thing 'bout me I never knew, oh Look what you made me do This girl is not looking back then try to make the pattern You’re like a shadow that passed I think I already forgot about you Ohhh in my head just make me brighter next to you Look what you made me do I didn’t know I had it in me Thought I would lose myself without you But I learned how to love me, yeah Look what you made me dooooo I could never change for no one That's the thing about me I never knew whoa Look What you made me do Thank you for being so hard to please and Thank you for giving me one more reason Thank you for showing me your true colors [me your true colors] And thank you for messing my heart up Thank you for being so hard to please and Thank you for giving me one more reason Thank you for showing me your true colors Thank you for messing my heart up Lyrics (best guess group effort) by Robert Biron, Steve Ackerman, Ronald Wong, Douglas Switzer, and James Thiel
We shall see. Others have said the same thing about Bad Valentine and songs from Old Enough. You just never know when, how or if someone will break through, especially these days.
Thank you Lucie for this beautiful reaction, this song is so obviously important and emotional to her that it makes her shine with deep emotion as she sings it. I love this beautiful girl, with her voice she literally takes you away with her, you can't help but be trapped in that time bubble she creates when she sings, using her breath so easily and beautifully to emphasize the words. ❤🧡💛
As others have said she wrote this song about her father who is no longer in her life. Her parents recently divorced. She debuted this song at her recent LA concert. Before she sang she talked about the background of the song and about betrayal. I was there and although she didn’t mention her father a lot of us assumed it was about him. Some fans that spoke with Angelina’s mom at the show said that she confirmed that the song was about Angelina’s dad.
Angelina has announced a Christmas Concert on Saturday, Dec 14th 2024 in Los Angeles - The venue has not be revealed yet - but advance tickets are on sale via her Official Home Page - Angelina Jordan Official.
Hi Lucie...I love your reactions.. It's a pity that Angelina's team doesn't make recordings of their concerts with good sound and image quality. That would be very good for her... If fans don't share their videos of these songs, very few would know about their existence
Here is a better video of this performance that puts the song in more context - Angelina explains what the song is about. ua-cam.com/video/V0fgDP759bY/v-deo.html
Lucie, here is a link to a much better video of this performance from the channel of James Thiel. Jim gets multiple versions from other fans & uses them to produce videos from cell phones that are almost as good as if they were professionally recorded. You might want to use his & BigAngieFan's Channel since they work together. ua-cam.com/video/V0fgDP759bY/v-deo.html
You left off the context of the song! Just a recommendation to include the whole video if this one didn’t have it there is one that gives her story behind the song! It is about the divorce and the betrayal!

"Thank You" Lyrics by Angelina Jordan
(This was a best guess group effort)
Listen, threw all your clothes right out the window
Threw out the jewelry that you gave me
Burned all the pictures of me and you
(What's someone to do) No no no no
Don’t wait too much or long for therapy
Thought I would struggle then to find out
I wasn’t the problem the problem was you
With all your words They couldn't calm or magnetize ya
In your tears they couldn't explain for you
And my mind is made up
Because all that has to do about you
Look what you made me do
I didn’t know I had it in me
Thought I would lose myself without you
But I learned how to love me, yeah
Look what you made me doooooo
No, I could never change for no one
That’s the thing ‘bout me I never knew Oooo
Look what you made me do
Thank you for being so hard to please you
Thank you for giving me one more reason
Thank you for showing me your true colors
And thank you for messing my heart up
Thank you for being so hard to please you
Thank you for giving me one more reason
Thank you for showing me your true colors
[Me your true colors]
Think it through
I don't blame my mother
for minding what I want
Don't know what's specially about you yeah
My hell being driven by your lies
My hell being driven by your stories
Go and tell someone else who'll believe
That's the truth about you, Oh Oh Oh
Look What you made me do
I didn’t know I had it in me
Thought I would lose myself without you
But I learned how to love me, yeah
Look what you made me do
I could do without the way you are
No I could never change for no one
That's the thing 'bout me I never knew, oh
Look what you made me do
This girl is not looking back
then try to make the pattern
You’re like a shadow that passed
I think I already forgot about you
Ohhh in my head just make me brighter next to you
Look what you made me do
I didn’t know I had it in me
Thought I would lose myself without you
But I learned how to love me, yeah
Look what you made me dooooo
I could never change for no one
That's the thing about me I never knew whoa
Look What you made me do
Thank you for being so hard to please and
Thank you for giving me one more reason
Thank you for showing me your true colors
[me your true colors]
And thank you for messing my heart up
Thank you for being so hard to please and
Thank you for giving me one more reason
Thank you for showing me your true colors
Thank you for messing my heart up

Thank you for this incredible lyrics 🎉🙏
Love your reaction Lucie.... I think this will be her first huge hit. The lyrics are about overcoming a betrayal.
We shall see. Others have said the same thing about Bad Valentine and songs from Old Enough. You just never know when, how or if someone will break through, especially these days.
The Goddess of music in disguise !!!
Thank you Lucie for this beautiful reaction, this song is so obviously important and emotional to her that it makes her shine with deep emotion as she sings it.

IMO AJ's best original -- well, maybe tied with Million Miles.
Agree - on both
As others have said she wrote this song about her father who is no longer in her life. Her parents recently divorced. She debuted this song at her recent LA concert.

Love your reaction. I wish I had video of me at the concert because I'm pretty sure your expressions were yhe same as mine throughout the show. 🥰
