The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
One, two, three, let's go
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
Go, go, go, 50 in the house
Bounce, y'all already know what I'm about
The flow sounds sicker over Dre drums, nigga
I ain't stupid, I see Doc then my doe come quicker, whoa
Shorty hips is hypnotic, she moves it so erotic
I watch her, I'm like, "Bounce that ass, girl"
I get it crump in here, I make it jump in here
Front in here, we'll thump in here, oh
So gutter, so ghetto, so hood
So gully, so grimey, what's good?
Outside the Benzo on dubs, I'm in the club with the snub
Don't' start nothin', it won't be nothin', uh
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
Let's party, everybody stand up
Everybody put your hands up
Let's party, everybody bounce with me
Sip champagne and burn a lil' greenery
It's hot, disco inferno
Let's go, you're now rockin' with a pro
I get dough to flip dough, to get more fo' sho'
Get my drink on, then get on the dance floor
Look, homie, I don't dance, all I do is this
It's the same two-step with a lil' twist
Listen, pimpin', I ain't new to this, I'm true to this
Pay attention, boy, I'll teach you how to do this shit
You mix a lil' Cris' with a lil' Dom Perignon
And a lil' Hennessy, you know we finna carry on
I'm hollerin' at these shorties in the club tryna get right
We gon' be up in this bitch 'til we break daylight
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
You see me shining, lit up with diamonds
'Cause I stay grinding, uh-huh
Homie, you can catch me swoopin'
Bentley coupin', switching lanes, haha
If you see me rollin', you know I'm holdin'
I'm 'bout my paper, yeah
Nigga, I'm serious, I ain't playin'
I'll embed it in your brain, I'm off the chain, G-Unit
Next level now, turn it up a notch
Em and Dre sent me to tear up the spot
Front on me, oh no, you know I'm loco
Hands up on the dance floor, okay, let's go
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Go 'head, put your back into it
Do your thing like it ain't nothin' to it
Shake, sh-sh-shake that ass, girl

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
