XOMIKA Confronts Heartbreak & Self-Worth In “Thuggin’ On My Own”
Jan
In her recent R&B offering “Thuggin’ On My Own,” XOMIKA sings about giving her heart away, only to have it put on a shelf. As the melancholic piano loops and 808s intervene, the singer uses a honeyed register to express the aftermath of a breakup that ultimately “broke her to pieces.” By the same token, her voice captures both vulnerability and resilience, creating a powerful narrative of self-reclamation.
Throughout “Thuggin’ On My Own” XOMIKA also questions if what they shared was real. Her former flame’s nonchalant attitude after the split leads her to wonder if they ever truly loved her.
Lyrics like, “You out here actin’ like I was just a homie/Was this even really you, like you was to me,” and “But it’s looking like the streets is where you’d rather be/Not here next to me,” highlight her ex’s apparent indifference to the end of their relationship.
Regardless of how hurt she is, XOMIKA vows to stand her ground. Instead of doubling back, she moves forward, showcasing her strength and tenacity through every note.
She sings, “It’s okay I’m moving on, feelings gone/No sense of me holding on/Threw me off of my purpose/Boy you ain’t even worth it/I know I ain’t perfect.”
In closing, XOMIKA’s “Thuggin’ On My Own” offers listeners not only a sense of closure but also a reminder of the power of self-worth.
