Followers apparently have been misunderstanding the which means behind the hit music It Wasn’t Me for a very long time now!
For years, many individuals believed the enduring 2000 monitor was all about dishonest. Nonetheless, that seems to not be the case – not less than, in keeping with Shaggy! In an interview with Folks on Friday, the 54-year-old singer swears he isn’t encouraging listeners to not maintain themselves accountable for being untrue to their companions. As an alternative, he defined that it’s an “anti-cheating music”:
“It was a giant false impression with that music as a result of that music shouldn’t be a dishonest music. It’s an anti-cheating music. It’s simply that no person listened to the document to the top. There’s a component within the document the place it’s a dialog between two individuals and you’ve got one man, which is me at that time, giving that dangerous recommendation, like, “Yo, bro, how might you get caught? Simply inform her, ‘It wasn’t me.’”

Hmmm. Shaggy went on to notice that there’s a twist “on the finish” that everybody appears to overlook as a result of they’re “caught up” within the hook of the music:
“The man says, ‘I’m going to inform her that I’m sorry for the ache that I’ve triggered. I’ve been listening to your reasoning, it is not sensible in any respect. Going to inform her that I’m sorry for the ache that I’ve triggered. You may assume that you simply’re a participant, however you’re fully misplaced.’ No person hears that half! That’s what the music says. However everyone’s simply caught up on that, ‘It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me.’ It’s an anti-cheating music. Nobody ever actually buys into that, and I hold explaining it to individuals. Then, they go take heed to it again and be like, “Oh dude, I completely missed that.”
Regardless of the confusion over the music, Shaggy admitted that it has “helped within the lifetime of the music,” noting:
“What’s so good about that music is that it was relatable all through the years. Folks do have this entire scenario with dishonest, and the factor about that’s that you might be younger, previous, Black, white, straight, homosexual, no matter it’s, it’s nonetheless relatable.”
It’s undoubtedly relatable. You’ll be able to take heed to the throwback piece (beneath):
