Jesse®, POV: the Lyrics & Their Meaning
The Intro of “POV” lyrics by Jesse® describes two different individuals, one the singer himself and the other person likely his romantic interest. He pictures himself as above her with the line “I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom // It’s a different point of view”. His justification for this belief is his different point of view. The lines “Calling out, “And one” // Every time I point and shoot” show his relentless determination and ambition. He talks about how he struggles with fame, recognition, and validation from other people. Jesse Rutherford shares the same idea in the Chorus of the song. “On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can’t lose” means he is determined to convert any adversity into success. He gives a shoutout to “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga, Polo, Docs, and CDG.
In the first verse, Jesse Rutherford talks about his music career. The lines “Top five, dead or alive // Every city I show up they posting me up like a wanted sign, yeah” mean how everywhere he goes, his fans are attending his shows. Despite his success, he is rooted in his humble nature. He sings “New whip, I’m switching lanes // Got the same fit as yesterday” as he loves driving new cars every now and then but he doesn’t really put much effort into what he puts on. Jesse Rutherford gives a shoutout to Jesse James, Bradley Coupe, and Betty Boop.
The Pre-Chorus and Outro of “POV” lyrics by Jesse® get emotional and vulnerable. His vulnerability is expressed with the lines “I ain’t ever been this high // But I’m not tryna come down”. Jesse Rutherford doesn’t wish to fall off from his current status in his career. He is happy about his success but he is scared of losing it all. Jesse calls Billie Eilish a privileged person with the lines “Not expecting you to realize // Where I’m coming from now”. He says she would never understand him as a person.
In the second verse, Jesse Rutherford addresses the backlash he had to experience after a public breakup with Billie Eilish. He exposes the double standards in the narrative set by everyone involved. Then, he sings the lyrics “She been listening to me since 2013 // I know she’s got daddy issues, welcome to the family”. Jesse talks about people judging his personal life and behavior pertaining to age, fame, and relationships.

POV Lyrics
[Intro]
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different point of view
Calling out, “And one”
Every time I point and shoot
Yeah, yeah, uh
Uh-huh, uh
(Top-top-top)[Chorus]
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different point of view
Calling out, “And one” every time I point and shoot
On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can’t lose
Feel like Alejandro when she Gaga on my goo
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different POV
Polo socks, in my Docs and the top is CDG
Got a watch on my shoulder, heart upon my sleeve
And they told me it was over, I’ma disagree[Verse 1]
Top five, dead or alive
Every city I show up they posting me up like a wanted sign, yeah
Feel like Jesse James, robbed a bank
Bringing change back to the gang
New whip, I’m switching lanes
Got the same fit as yesterday
Skrrt off in that Bradley Coupe, me and you
Run away, I rendezvous
Red dress on like Betty Boop
Yeah, we so cute, I could puke, blegh[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I ain’t ever been this high
But I’m not tryna come down
Not expecting you to realize
Where I’m coming from now[Chorus]
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different point of view
Calling out, “And one” every time I point and shoot
On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can’t lose
Feel like Alejandro when she Gaga on my goo
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different POV
Polo socks, in my Docs and the top is CDG
Got a watch on my shoulder, heart upon my sleeve
And they told me it was over, I’ma disagree[Verse 2]
She been listening to me since 2013
I know she’s got daddy issues, welcome to the family
She said, “Jesse, baby, won’t you write a song about me?”
I said, “I got a whole album, I could drop it next week”
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Shorty come with me, watch your money get longer
Turn into an all-star in a pair of Converse
Blew up by myself, I feel like the Unabomber[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I ain’t ever been this high
But I’m not tryna come down
Not expecting you to realize
Where I’m coming from now[Chorus]
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different point of view
Calling out, “And one” every time I point and shoot
On the clock, nonstop I keep winning, I can’t lose
Feel like Alejandro when she Gaga on my goo
I’m at the top, you’re at the bottom
It’s a different POV
Polo socks, in my Docs and the top is CDG
Got a watch on my shoulder, heart upon my sleeve
And they told me it was over, I’ma disagree[Outro]
