"Watch" Explores Themes Of Power And Self-Expression. In The Verses Shygirl Speaks Confidently About Her Own Abilities And Desires Discussing Her Confidence And Sexuality Without Apologies. She Boasts Of Her Own Ruthlessness And Lack Of Emotion In Her Relationships While Also Acknowledging The Pressure That Comes With Self-Expression And Being A "bad Breed" In Society's Eyes. The Chorus Emphasizes Shygirl's Confidence And Power As She Declares Herself "too Hot For The Night" But Also Acknowledges The Possibility That She Might Do Something Unexpected. This Duality In Her Attitude Highlights The Tensions That Can Arise From Being A Confident And Self-Expressive Person In A Society That Often Tries To Limit Or Control Those Qualities. The Outro Adds To This Idea Of Non-Conformity And Individuality Encouraging Listeners To "go Lit" And "go Off" Without Worrying About The Judgments Of Others. Overall "Watch" Celebrates Individuality And The Power Of Self-Expression While Also Acknowledging The Risks And Challenges That Come With Being True To Oneself.
