. Chanel no. 5 is a popular perfume with a beautiful scent, suggesting that Camila's love interest is unfaithful to their primary lover. Camila, who created his desire through her appearance, uses her looks to her advantage, equating her to being mentally unstable. In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi, Camila accepts her imperfections and references past relationships where she has broken their hearts. She references the Omasake tradition in Japanese restaurants, where the chef decides dishes as a surprise. Camila's moves with the relationship may be bold and unpredictable, as she knows that they are just extras and that she will be the leading role as his lover. Her hunger for the scent and her out-of-pocket behavior are growing stronger, as she sprays perfume on her wrists. The phrase "Spritz, Spritz" is an onomatopoeia for spraying perfume. The song begins with Cabello discussing Chanel No. 5, which represents luxury and sensuality. She compares wearing the scent to a crime, implying that the appeal it generates is almost unfair. The chorus emphasizes her capacity to fascinate and control, with words like "Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive," highlighting the power of seduction and her irresistible presence. Cabello conveys intricacy and beauty in imperfection in the first stanza using imagery of origami folding and references to Murakami and wabi-sabi. The verse describes her as a heartbreaker who has yet to be tamed, representing independence and allure. The prechorus conveys a feeling of caution and humor. Cabello confesses that her motives cannot be trusted, implying a manipulative streak disguised as charm and attractiveness. The repetitive chorus emphasizes her authority and the perfume's metaphorical value. The second stanza takes on a more assertive tone, with Cabello comparing herself to a dog and King Kong, emphasizing strength and dominance. References to Tarantino and Valentino combine violence and luxury, emphasizing her complex and domineering personality. The verse closes with a hint of peril, as she admits her volatility and the possibility of turmoil.Song Meaning as Personal Reflection

Chanel No.5 by Camila Cabello
He watch when I whine, I know, I know it's a crime
I know what he likes, a cat eye, a black dress, it's just a reminder
I'm seein' desire arise in his eyes, so lucky for them
[Chorus]
Cute girl with a sick mind
I know just how to play my cards right
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel N°5
If I want him, he's all mine
I know just how to f**k with his mind
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel N°5
[Verse 1]
Fold for me like origami
Magic and real like Murakami
Red-chipped nails, I'm wabi-sabi
I'm the hеartbreaker, nobody's got me, yеt
Make you tongue-tied like new shibari
Subtle and complex like umami
Up to me like omakase
I'm a wild horse and nobody's got me, yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Shouldn't trust it that I want you, baby
'Cause I love you, love you not like daisies
But this gloss I got is cute and tasty
She's an extra, I'm your leading lady
[Chorus]
Cute girl with a sick mind
I know just how to play my cards right
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel N°5
If I want him, he's all mine
I know just how to f**k with his mind
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel N°5
[Verse 2]
I'm a dog (Rrr), woof, woof, and my tooth is gettin' long
I'ma hog the mic, take a bite, peek-a-boo thong
I just, ah, I just, what, I'm just writin' all my wrongs
Now I'm high-rise (Sky-high), it's like I'm King Kong (I got, I got, I got)
I got violence like Tarantino (Tarantino)
Wearin' all pink, all Valentino (All Valentino)
Sparkle in his mouth like Pellegrino
I'm a real problem, he doesn't know it yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Shouldn't trust it that I want you, baby (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause I love you, love you not like daisies (Yeah, yeah)
But this gloss I got is cute and tasty
She's an extra, I'm your leading lady (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Cute girl with a sick mind (With a sick mind)
I know just how to play my cards right (Yeah, right)
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel N°5
If I want him, he's all mine
I know just how to f**k with his mind
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel N°5
