Lirik Lagu Strategy - Olivia Marsh, tentang Trik Memikat Lelaki

Oh, oh my
I’m tripping on my words, not getting it right
I’m stuck on this ride
It’s only gonna crash, I betcha know why
Do me a kindness, none of your mind tricks
‘Cause when it comes to you, it’s never here nor there
I fall every time (Each time)
It’s almost like you’re teasing, reading my mind

(Ooh) So what you want from me? What you want from me?

(Ooh) So what you want from me? Hate that you got
Got a hold of me, I don’t know what
You got over me, where does it stop?
(Ooh) I’m in denial and losing control

(Uh-huh) Baby, help my sanity
Oh, is it really love, or is it fantasy?
(Uh-huh) What’s the game you’re playing with me?
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me ’bout the strategy
You’re pulling then breaking hearts and do it for the delight
(Come get a little more)
Baby, help my sanity
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me ’bout the strategy

(Uh-huh) I’m in a mix-up, I let it go down
You turn the lights out and get another round
(Mmh-hm) Know it’s a setup
But I only got you on my mind
Do me a kindness, none of your mind tricks
‘Cause when it comes to you, it’s never here nor there
I fall every time (Each time)
It’s almost like you’re teasing, reading my mind

(Ooh) So what you want from me? What you want from me?
(Ooh) So what you want from me? Hate that you got
Got a hold of me, I don’t know what
You got over me, where does it stop?
(Ooh) I’m in denial and losing control

(Uh-huh) Baby, help my sanity
Oh, is it really love, or is it fantasy?
(Uh-huh) What’s the game you’re playing with me?
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me ’bout the strategy
You’re pulling then breaking hearts and do it for the delight
(Come get a little more)
Baby, help my sanity
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me ’bout the strategy

I know that it has been a while since I felt like this (It’s been a while since you felt like this)
You got me melting in your hands and it makes me sick
(Ooh; Strategy, strategy) Baby (It’s been a while since you felt like this)
(Uh-huh) Can I keep my sanity?
You better come up with a better (Strategy)

(Uh-huh) Baby, help my sanity
Oh, is it really love, or is it fantasy?
(Uh-huh) What’s the game you’re playing with me?
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me ’bout the strategy
You’re pulling then breaking hearts and do it for the delight
(Come get a little more)
Baby, help my sanity
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me ’bout the strategy

Lagu "Strategy" Olivia Marsh bercerita mengenai perasaan terjebak dalam hubungan yang membingungkan dan putus-nyambung. Liriknya memberikan gambaran tentang seseorang yang tidak yakin apakah itu cinta sejati atau hanya manipulasi belaka. 

Ia tersebut terus-menerus jatuh cinta dengan orang yang tampaknya hanya menikmati pengejaran. Ia pun mempertanyakan niat dan "strategi" yang dipakai orang itu sembari mencoba mati-matian untuk menjaga kewarasannya.

Beberapa bulan setelah debutnya, Olivia Marsh merilis mini album pertamanya, Meanwhile, pada 13 Februari 2025. Album ini menampilkan double title track, "Strategy" dan "Backseat," serta sederet b-side, "Waterworks", "42", dan "Pina Colada."

Dalam video klip "Strategy" ini, Olivia Marsh menghindari pergumulannya dalam memikat hati seorang pria dengan melarikan diri ke dunia permainan. Ia memerintahkan dua lelaki untuk bermain tenis, golf, hingga berlomba renang untuk merebut hatinya.
