Meaning of "Perm" by Bruno Mars

Av
In this post, I will talk about the meaning of the song "Perm" by Bruno Mars. Mars, born in 1985 in Hawaii, is in my opinion one of the most talented artists of the generation. He sings prodigious live, can dance, and writes innovative songs. Feel free to come with your own suggestions of what you think the song is about.

Lyrics of the song:

Now look at you, been walking in here looking all pretty and angry and mean and good.
Haha. Now I know you didn't get your hair done so you could just sit down and just sit still.
Aye, we tryna have a good time tonight, let's go over here!

It's my birthday
No, it's not
But I still look good though
Hot comb hot
I bet you want an autograph
For you and your friends
Gotta do it in the penthouse
That's where I keep my pen

What you can't dance? Ain't got rhythm?
What you got a man? I don't see you with him
Put your phone down, let's get it
Forget your Instagram and your Twitter
Got me like whoa, wait a minute
You need to take a minute
Loosen them shoulders up
Pour it up, let's work

Throw some perm on your attitude
Girl you gotta relax, ooh
Let me show you what you got to do
You gotta lay it back
Matter of fact? Band, show her how to lay it back!
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Alright!

Come on baby I love you
No you don't
You never know, I might though
Can't say I won't, ah
There's that smile I'm looking for
Was that so hard?
If you ever need to smile again girl, take my card

Razzle-dazzle, never gon' stop
What you want is what I got
You wanna get down? You gotta get up
Don't be stingy with your big ol' butt
You got a booty like
Whoa, wait a minute
I'm just playing with you
Loosen them shoulders up
Pour it up, let's work

Throw some perm on your attitude
Girl you gotta relax, ooh
Let me show you what you got to do
You gotta lay it back
Matter of fact? Band, show her how to lay it back!
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Alright!

Aye, now you got it baby. You tryna have some fun tonight, you just try to follow these simple instructions, you ready?

You need activate your sexy (activate your sexy)
Silky, smooth and snap (silky, smooth and snap)
Now lean with it (lean), throw a little sheen in it (sheen)
Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat
One more time, you need activate your sexy (activate your sexy)
Silky, smooth and snap (silky, smooth and snap)
Now lean with it (lean), throw a little sheen in it (sheen)
Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat

I say it again
Throw some perm on your attitude
Girl you gotta relax, ooh
Let me show you what you got to do
You gotta lay it back
Matter of fact? Band, show her how to lay it back!
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Alright!

First of all, what is a perm? A perm relaxes your hair using chemicals, that makes your hair look more straight and smooth. This treatment lasts for several months. That indicates Mars tells the girls to relax when he says, "throw some perm on your attitude." He wants the girls to calm down and be laid back instead of being so busy with sharing everything on social media, as he mentions Instagram and Twitter. He wants his audience to live more in the moment and enjoy, instead of being on their phones at his concerts. The song expresses he wants them to "loosen up" and dance to the music he performs and shares with them, instead of being caught up with their Snapchat and Instagram.

I personally agree with the message of the song, as social media has become such a big part of our daily life. It is quite sad if people think it is more important to share with their friends that they are at the concert of their idol, instead of being present and completly enjoy his music and presence. What do you think?
