Guilty Pleasure – Chappell Roan

Learned it on the internet

Wheels turning in my head

Think back to what you said

And I turn red, I’m turning red

Wild thoughts that make me melt

A good hit below the belt

Sometimes I scare myself

But I can’t help what I can’t help

So shame on me and shame on you

I fantasize what we would do

And how would he taste and the way you move

Oh, some good girls do bad things too

I want this like a cigarette

Can we drag it out and never quit? And

Oh my God, you are heaven-sent

With your dirty mind, yeah, you’re perverted

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

Feels like pornography watching you try on jeans

You’re a pothead, you’re a cinephile

It’s been awhile since you turned up the dial

So shame on me, shame on you

I fantasize what we would do

And how would it taste, the way you move

Oh, some good girls do bad things too

I want this like a cigarette

Can we drag it out and never quit? And

Oh my God, you are heaven-sent

With your dirty mind, yeah, you’re perverted

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure

You give me guilty, guilty pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure…

Exploring the Temptation in “Guilty Pleasure”

Chappell Roan’s “Guilty Pleasure” dives into the irresistible allure of forbidden desires and the complexity of embracing one’s own impulses. The song captures the tension between shame and excitement, as Roan navigates feelings that are both thrilling and taboo. With candid admissions—”some good girls do bad things too”—the lyrics challenge traditional notions of morality, celebrating the freedom to explore desire without judgment.

The Power of Honest Confession

Roan’s vivid imagery, like comparing longing to a cigarette or confessing that watching someone feels like “pornography,” creates a sense of vulnerability and raw honesty. The playful yet provocative tone invites listeners to confront their own secret cravings, highlighting that everyone harbors guilty pleasures. Ultimately, the track is both a confession and a celebration of authentic self-expression.
