This song’s about how popularity of his music has gotten him girls, but he knows they’re only out to get him because he’s the next big thing. There is no love.
In describing this song, Abel told Complex:
"That’s an artist’s song. If you’re an artist, you can relate to that record. Especially if you’re in that hip-hop world, “Next” is for you."
In reference to his thoughts about his pending fame around the Trilogy era:
“At the time, I thought I’d be a punk star — grow my hair out, acne on my face, super-fucking-skinny. I was looking at artists like Iggy Pop and the Ramones, or Afropunk. But you evolve and realize your potential. And then it’s like, ‘Fuck yeah. Let’s go.’”
