Same old story time again
Got so close, but then you lost it
Should have listened to your friends
‘Bout his girlfriend back in Boston
You sent him pictures and playlists and phone sex
He disappeared from the second that you said
“Let’s get coffee, let’s meet up”
I’m so sick of online love
And I don’t understand
Why can’t any man

(It’s a fem)

“Um, can you play a song with a fucking beat?”
(Hit it like) Hit it like rom-pom-pom-pom
(Get it hot) Get it hot like Papa John
(Make a bitch) Make a bitch go on and on
(It’s a fem) It’s a femininomenon
(Hit it like) Hit it like rom-pom-pom-pom
(Get it hot) Get it hot like Papa John
(Make a bitch) Make a bitch go on and on
(It’s a fem) It’s a femininomenon
So let’s say it’s working out
You pretend to love his mother
Lying to your friends about
How he’s such a goddamn good lover
Stuck in the suburbs, you’re folding his laundry
Got what you wanted, so stop feeling sorry
Crying at the nail salon
I’m so sick of online love
And I don’t understand
Why can’t any man

Embracing Feminine Power and Online Dating Disillusionment
“Femininomenon” by Chappell Roan is a punchy, tongue-in-cheek anthem that explores the frustrations and contradictions of modern dating. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of online love gone awry, from ghosting to performative relationships and the relentless search for genuine connection. Roan cleverly critiques the routine disappointments and societal pressures women face, using playful wordplay and energetic refrains to highlight both the exhaustion and resilience that come with the territory. The chorus, with its infectious hooks and demands for a “song with a beat,” channels a desire for authenticity in a world that often feels superficial.
