(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
Oh, not another take
Oh, it’s like that
I’m your dream come true
when it’s on a platter for you
Then you pull back
When I try to make plans
more than two hours in advance mm
I slam the door
I hit “Ignore”
I’m saying, “No, no, no, no more.”
I got you blocked after this an after thought
I finally cut you off
I feel so much lighter, like a feather with you off my mind, ah
Floating through the memories, like whatever, you’re a waste of time, ah
Your signals are mixed
You act like a bitch
You fit every stereotype, “Send a pic”
I feel so much lighter, like a feather with you out my life
With you out my life
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather, yeah
It feels so good
Not caring where you are tonight
And it feels so good
Not pretending to like the wine you like
I slam the door (slam the door)
I hit “Ignore” (Hit “Ignore”)
I’m saying, “No, no, no, no more.”
I got you blocked
Excited to never talk
I, I’m so sorry for your loss
I feel so much lighter, like a feather with you off my mind, ah
Floating through the memories, like whatever, you’re a waste of time, ah
Your signals are mixed
You act like a bitch (A bitch)
You fit every stereotype, “Send a pic”
I feel so much lighter, like a feather with you out my life
With you out my life
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
Ah, mm
(Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather
You want me? I’m done
You miss me? No duh
Where I’m at, I’m up
Where I’m at
You want me? I’m done (I’m done)
You miss me? No duh (No duh)
Where I’m at, I’m up (I’m up)
Where I’m at
You want me? I’m done. You miss me? No duh
I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
Where I’m at, I’m up, where I’m at
Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather
You want me? I’m done. You miss me? No duh
I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
Where I’m at, I’m up, where I’m at
Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather, yeah
Letting Go and Lifting Off: A Fresh Start
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Feather” radiates confidence and relief as it captures the liberating feeling of breaking free from a toxic relationship.

Carpenter uses the metaphor of feeling “lighter, like a feather” to express how much emotional weight has been lifted since cutting ties.
Self-Worth and Moving Forward
The lyrics cleverly highlight the red flags and mixed signals from the other person, paired with witty lines like “You act like a bitch” and “Send a pic.” Carpenter’s unapologetic tone celebrates her decision to put herself first, moving on with a sense of humor and newfound self-assurance. The repetitive, airy chorus reinforces the theme of freedom and letting go, making “Feather” a modern anthem for anyone ready to move forward.
