Some guys, some guys are only about that thing, that thing, that thing." She is basically warning both men and women to avoid being exploited by the opposite sex by that thing. The song's message is a call for self-empowerment, self-respect, and a challenge to sexism and misogyny.

Saying without love everything else loses its meaning or value. It gives a powerful message about the significance of love in life.
