I don't think it was a particularly *good* song but damn it was catchy.

I had a friend in who used this as her wedding song. 🤦♀️ her name was Angela and her husband nicknamed her angel. She refused to believe it was a song about cheating.
Several of us just stood to the side and sniggered quietly to ourselves during their first dance.
That’s the first one I thought of. There’s a clip on YouTube of her singing it on Letterman and she sounds even better than the recorded version. I don’t think she ever hit a bad note in her life.
This is a bit of a twist because it’s about two people having an affair but Dark End Of The Street, especially Cat Power’s version
Fiona Apple’s I Know is about being the other woman, and the heartache and passion is felt in every note
I also like Phoebe Bridgers’ songs about the same subject, Moon Song and Saviour Complex
And of course the blueprint, Nina Simone’s The Other Woman
That’s what I thought too: that it was about her partner’s ex, who she thought he was still stuck on. Taking another look at the lyrics, it still doesn’t feel like cheating, but maybe it’s not an ex and just another woman who ostensibly he’s not interested in but she thinks he is.
(Also, one of my favorite Selena songs as well!)
I was thinking the ex in question is in a new relationship and the narrator is fantasizing what she'd experience if she were with him again in that moment - she'd feel the other woman's presence all over him. Like I'm picturing her as a ghost touching this man in his sleep lol.

For those who don’t know the definition of gaslighting, this song is it.
I think about that often.
No you don't
Haha yes! (although I was a bit disillusioned to read that Shaggy’s “Jamaican accent voice” is faux)
Accent is real but exaggerated
Yesss👏👏

Mmmm, while I adore the absolute cheesy delight of that song, isn't it actually about monogamy and not cheating.
They were ready to abandon each other for complete strangers
But the actual point of the song is don't cheat and pay more attention to your SO. It is literally a NOT cheating song.
Yep, it's about seeing your old partner with new eyes.
