"Lover Girl" is a single by American rapper-songwriter Megan Thee Stallion, released on October 24, 2025. Produced by Jacob Dior, it contains a sample of "Kissin' You" by Total. The song is about her boyfriend, NBA player Klay Thompson.
Megan Thee Stallion first previewed the song on October 1, 2025 with a video of her dancing to the song in the studio, while wearing a crop top, camouflage cargo pants, tan boots and a trucker hat fur-lined with wool. [1] [2] She continued to tease the song on social media in the weeks leading up to its release. [3]
The song is built on a sample of "Kissin' You". Lyrically, Megan Thee Stallion revolves around her love for her partner Klay Thompson, although she does not mention him by name. [4] [5] She opens with the chorus, in which she repeatedly calls him her "man" and "baby" and describes him to be "Dickin' me down, spoilin' me, drivin' me crazy". [4] [6] In the first verse, Megan praises him as she recalls when she found out he was serious about their relationship [6] and compares him to other men; she raps that he calls her his "lady" instead of his "bitch", keeps his word, and focuses on her rather than seeking attention. [4] [6] [7] [8] [9] Megan describes her enjoyment of their sexual activity in the next two verses; [4] [6] [10] in the second verse, she references "Freaky Gurl" by Gucci Mane (including the lyrics about giving her number to her lover in exchange for oral sex) [5] [11] and the film Love Jones , [5] [6] and mentions she is from "Splash Town", a reference to Thompson being one half of the Splash Brothers. [5] [6] [9] Megan hints at marriage in the third verse ("I'm the type of fine make a nigga run to that altar"), [6] [8] in which she also reminisces about the time that Thompson took her home to meet his mother. [6] Megan makes kissing sounds throughout the song [7] and chants in the refrain, "pop that pussy for your man". [4]
Tom Breihan of Stereogum described the production as "weird and spacious and dubby", and commented "Megan uses that beat to do Megan things. She's good at that." [10]
The music video was released alongside the single. It shows Megan Thee Stallion being flanked by four women in lingerie twerking in unison as part of a choreography. She also dances on the stem of a martini glass as if it were a stripper pole, uses a chair as her dance prop, and recreates the song's cover art, dressing as Cupid. The clip ends with a visual of the wolf growling in the darkness. [12]
