"Simply The Best" Lyrics Breakdown
The song opens with a high-energy pre-chorus from will.i.am and Anitta, setting the tone for an anthem that celebrates confidence and living in the moment. The repeated lines "This is it, bet you won't forget it, it don't get better than this" serve as a declaration of the ultimate party anthem. With a catchy hook that blends English and Portuguese, the song is a celebration of feeling unstoppable.
Pre-Chorus (will.i.am & Anitta):
Ah, yeah, check it you
This is it, bet you won't, bet you won't
That you will not forget it
'Cause it won't get better than, better than this
No, it don't get better than, better than this
The chorus echoes that sentiment: "Simply the best, simply the best"—a straightforward but anthemic declaration of feeling on top of the world.
El Alfa’s Verse:
El Alfa delivers a fiery verse in Spanish, establishing his larger-than-life persona. Known for his rapid-fire delivery and larger-than-life charisma, El Alfa compares himself to extraterrestrials and reinforces his position as the king of his domain. The verse is playful yet confrontational, making it clear that no one can match his energy or style.
El dueño de la Tierra subió a Marte y no me ven ni por telescopio
Demasiado alto, a ninguno lo copio
Lo que lo' extraterrestre' están haciendo, yo lo copio
¿Te volviste loco? ¿Te fumaste un pate de opio?
Apl.de.Ap’s Contribution:
Apl.de.Ap joins in with his signature laid-back flow, affirming the song’s hype-worthy vibes. His verse celebrates the joy of living in the moment and enjoying the best life has to offer.
This shit right here, baby, this shit right here
This that shit that I wanna hear
This that hit, the hit of the year
Got me livin' on a drop top tear
Dynamic Duo: will.i.am & Anitta's Verse:
A switch to a more playful vibe comes with will.i.am and Anitta's verse, blending their unique styles. The duo sings about breaking the rules and taking things to the next level, as they prepare to raise the stakes at the party.
We are about to break the la-la-la-law
After bottle, bottle, bo-bo
We gonna rump it with Anitta
I swear to Gog, I swear to Allah
Esto, esto es lo mejor
Lo mejor, lo mejor, lo mejor, mira
The Anthemic Hook & Chorus:
The "Simply The Best" chorus is repeated multiple times, reinforcing the idea that this moment is unparalleled. It's both a self-celebration and an invitation to the world to join in on this high-energy, unforgettable experience.
El Alfa's Second Verse:
In the second half of the song, El Alfa returns with another bold, humorous verse. He contrasts his unmatchable success with others' struggles, comparing his ability to thrive in the spotlight with those who can't even get their moment to shine.
Tú ere' un palo de fósforo moja'o, tú no prende'
Tu movie no se ve ni que la arrende
Un jefe de verdura' por dinero no se vende
Will.i.am’s Empowering Verse:
Finally, will.i.am offers an empowering line that sums up the song’s message: success is not just about fame, it's about living life to the fullest and pushing through challenges with confidence.
I want this and not nothing less
All that BS, put that to rest
I've been livin' life to the fullest, that's my definition of blessed
Taboo & will.i.am’s Final Verse:
Taboo brings it home with some motivational bars, referencing his resilience and the strength to rise above any challenges. The verse emphasizes the theme of overcoming adversity and staying fresh and international, bringing unity through music.
And if I fall, la-la-la-la-la
I get up and keep standin' tall
I keep blockin' all of them haters like I'm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
