The One-Line Lyric Challenge

New Me

Yes, the One-Line Lyric Challenge is back again with a new look and a brand new lyric prompt for the New Year. With a song that you probably haven't heard before. Or at least, if you have, not the acoustic version. Which is better than the original, I think.

The rules are the same: Enjoy the music and incorporate the given lyric prompt into a poem or story, due at the end of the month.

"New Me" by Ella Eyre



Song Lyrics ▶︎

Ella ain't here, it's a new me
Didn't have time when you knew me
Why you tryna call like booty?
Take a step back and 180°
I could play you like you played me
Really don't care for it lately, though

You need to change your story, babe
Tell me you want to talk
It's not what you came here for
This heart is closed, that girl you know
Don't live behind that door, anymore

No, Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin'
Kinda got things to be doin'
Ella ain't here for your problems
Left-right-left, keep on walkin'
Should've took care of your diamonds

Got a new phone, got a new key
Got my girlfriends and a new weave
And I don't do what I used to
When you call me tryna come through
'Cause Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin'
Kinda got things to be doin'
It's a new-new me

Funny you think you can come here
Man, I don't miss your assumptions
Never did care what I wanted, no
Let me just say you're a killjoy
Lovin' that sound of your own voice
Think you talk smart, but it's just noise

You need to change your story, babe
Tell me you want to talk
It's not what you came here for
This heart is closed, that girl you know
Don't live behind that door, anymore

No, Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin'
Kinda got things to be doin'
Ella ain't here for your problems
Left-right-left, keep on walkin'
Should've took care of your diamonds, oh

Got a new phone, got a new key
Got my girlfriends and a new weave
And I don't do what I used to
When you call me tryna come through
'Cause Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin'
Kinda got things to be doin'
It's a new-new me

Not now, never
Not now, never
Not never, no (x4)

Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin'
Kinda got things to be doin'
Ella ain't here for your problems
Left-right-left, keep on walkin'
Should've took care of your diamonds, oh

Got a new phone, got a new key
Got my girlfriends and a new weave
And I don't do what I used to
When you call me tryna come through
'Cause Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin'
Kinda got things to be doin', oh
It's a new-new me, it's a new-new me
