“Watch Me Fall” by Lil Xan
The lyrics of “Watch Me Fall” see rapper Lil Xan (Diego) talk about the trying moments he is being forced to deal with after splitting from a girlfriend. During the song, he talks about how this girl left him broken-hearted and how he wouldn’t hesitate chasing her if she runs away. It’s not exactly clear what he means by chasing her. But what is abundantly clear is that he’s hurt by the breakup and finding great difficulty letting her go.
Throughout the song, he repeatedly pleads with her not to watch him fall down.
It is widely believed that the woman Xan is addressing in the song is singer Noah Cyrus (sister of Miley Cyrus).
In August 2018, it was announced that Xan and Cyrus were in a romantic union. The relationship was short-lived. By September of that same year, the pair had gone their separate ways. Not long after the demise of the relationship, Cyrus publicly referred to it as “the mistake”.
