“I Love Me” by Russ

Russ is indeed loving himself on “I Love Me”. However, this is not a case of him being a narcissist. Rather he is expressing this sentiment to a specific type individuals and even more particularly to a female(s) in his life. And the way it reads is that such women, i.e. romantic interests, may have a tendency to be toxic or at least self-important in their own right. So what the singer is telling these people is that he loves himself enough not to let them emotionally abuse or take advantage of him. Or stated differently, he’s not the type to sweat a female. So if one decides to leave him for instance, he is not going to reduce himself to begging her to stay.

This is one of a number of standalone singles Russ released in 2020, with I Love Me coming out on 30 October of that year.

Russ wrote this track, and it was produced by The Rascals and Boi-1da.
