To me, this song is about standing up for what you believe in and not backing down when other people try to tell you that your stance is "stupid" or wrong or whatever. Just like he says, "the mean thoughts and cheap shots they will not weaken me". He isn't going to change his standards because other people are pressuring him to be like them. I love this song, it's so catchy, and it has a very upbeat, inspiring message.
