‘Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend’ by Nate Smith and HARDY – Lyrics & Meaning

The truth isn't alway easy to hear, but Nate Smith and HARDY have joined forces to deliver it as plainly and as honestly as possible.

Nobody likes your girlfriend. Period.

The two country sensations recently teamed up for Smith's latest single, bringing to life a tune that may be harsh but perhaps much-needed. The raging, rock-tinged country anthem is set to be an eye-opener for some, sage advise for others, and just an all-around bop for us all.

In the beginning, 'Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend' has a simple sound, the song carried on a few sharpened strings and pointed beats. It soon gets punched up, the anthem amplified with persistent power chords and emphatic drum beats. All in all, the arrangement mirrors the song's exacting words, ultimately morphing into a fed-up and frustration-fueled composition.

"You gonna hang or not
Man your beer got hot
‘Cause you snuck outside again
You been on your phone like all night long
‘Cause she don’t trust you with your friends
Yeah, we’re thick as thieves and if it was me
I’d want you to let me know
So shoot this Crown and hear me out
And don’t get me wrong"

In 'Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend', Nate Smith and HARDY seem to have lost a dear friend. He's alive. He's apparently just shackled to a woman his friends believe to be no good.

At the start of the song, the two artists find themselves out on a guys' night, but there's one problem. One of their guys is missing. He stepped away to talk on the phone with his person, a woman his buddies appear to despise. This seems to be a common occurrence. This relationship, one plagued by trust issues, consistently keeps him from enjoying his time away.

When the friend comes back to join the party, Smith and HARDY decide to sit him down and let him in on a little secret...

"I ain’t saying that she ain’t drop dead
But boy she knows it when she turns them heads
Got a good girl dress that you love when she slips on
But your floor ain’t the only one it’s been on
Brother I ain’t tryna start no fight
Ain’t what you wanna hear on a Friday night
I know she’s got you in a love drunk whirlwind
But man to man
Nobody likes your girlfriend"

The two stars know this is a hard pill to swallow, but they believe their friend deserves to know that his partner is unfaithful, hateful and just not good for him.

They go down the list of all of her faults, rattling off, "She don’t like your church / And dude she’s the worst / When she gets a little know it all buzz / She hates your favorite bands / And she don’t miss a chance / To cut you down in front of us."

They know their buddy is in love, but they wholeheartedly believe he deserves better. The two of them are not the only ones.

"Not your momma, not your daddy, not your sister
Everyone who loves you hates seeing you with her
Didn’t wanna be the one to let you know
And I’m just saving you a heartbreak down the road"

It's not an easy truth to hear, but somebody had to say it: "Nobody likes your girlfriend."

You gonna hang or not
Man your beer got hot
‘Cause you snuck outside again
You been on your phone like all night long
‘Cause she don’t trust you with your friends
Yeah, we’re thick as thieves and if it was me
I’d want you to let me know
So shoot this Crown and hear me out
And don’t get me wrong

I ain’t saying that she ain’t drop dead
But boy she knows it when she turns them heads
Got a good girl dress that you love when she slips on
But your floor ain’t the only one it’s been on
Brother I ain’t tryna start no fight
Ain’t what you wanna hear on a Friday night
I know she’s got you in a love drunk whirlwind
But man to man
Nobody likes your girlfriend

She don’t like your church
And dude she’s the worst
When she gets a little know it all buzz
She hates your favorite bands
And she don’t miss a chance
To cut you down in front of us
Yeah, I know that you say
She’s the best you ever had
Maybe that’s why your head’s in the sand
‘Cause we know she ain’t single
But damn she looks single
If you’re looking at her Instagram

I ain’t saying that she ain’t drop dead
But boy she knows it when she turns them heads
Got a good girl dress that you love when she slips on
But your floor ain’t the only one it’s been on
Brother I ain’t tryna start no fight
Ain’t what you wanna hear on a Friday night
I know she’s got you in a love drunk whirlwind
But man to man
Nobody likes your girlfriend

Not your momma, not your daddy, not your sister
Everyone who loves you hates seeing you with her
Didn’t wanna be the one to let you know
And I’m just saving you a heartbreak down the road

I ain’t saying that she ain’t drop dead
But boy she knows it when she turns them heads
Got a good girl dress that you love when she slips on
But your floor ain’t the only one it’s been on
Brother I ain’t tryna start no fight
Ain’t what you wanna hear on a Friday night
I know she’s got you in a love drunk whirlwind
But man to man
Nobody likes your girlfriend

Not your momma, not your daddy, not your sister
Everyone who loves you hates seeing you with her
Man to man
Nobody likes your girlfriend
