Don't Tell 'Em (feat. YG) [DaaHype Remix]
Jeremih · Don't Tell 'Em (Remixes) [feat. YG]
A polished track built entirely around hiding infidelity
Where the words land
Signal: At Odds.
What do these signals mean?
- Edifying: Points the heart toward God, truth, hope, or love.
- Worth Weighing: Real good and real concern together. Test it before you take it in.
- Strained: Strains against Scripture: leans toward what could dull or mislead.
- At Odds: At odds with Scripture: celebrates what it warns against. Little here builds up.
Weighed against Scripture
“Don't you tell 'em what we do”
“Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.”
The song asks for secrecy around shameful acts, while Scripture calls believers to expose rather than hide what's done in darkness.
“If anything you were just explorin', you wasn't cheatin”
“Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.”
The lyric reframes infidelity as harmless exploration, directly opposing the call to honor marriage and keep it undefiled.
“Her n***a think she faithful, but she runnin' game”
“He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself. Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.”
Proverbs warns that this kind of deception brings real wounds and shame, not the casual thrill the song implies.
The song as a whole
“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.”
The song treats the body as a tool for secret pleasure, while Scripture calls the body a place meant to honor God, not exploit through sexual sin.
In short
This track is a smooth, bass-heavy ode to secret hookups and infidelity dressed up as a seduction anthem. The lyrics don't just describe desire, they actively coach the listener on how to hide cheating and treat deception as a game. There's charisma and production polish, but nothing underneath reaching toward honesty, love, or anything lasting.
- Lyrical content
Explicit sexual descriptions, profanity, and references to secret infidelity and casual hookups throughout.
- Spiritual posture
Celebrates secrecy, deception, and self-gratification with no reach toward love, honesty, or anything beyond the physical moment.
- Apparent intent
The song is built to glamorize hidden sexual encounters and casual cheating as fun and consequence-free.
What do these ratings mean?
- Lyrical content, what the words say on the surface. Clean: nothing coarse, sexual or violent. Mild: a trace of it, by allusion or a rare word. Strong: profanity, sex or violence in plain words. Explicit: graphic, or sin held up to admire.
- Spiritual posture, where the song's heart points. God-honoring: toward God, truth or hope. Searching: honestly reaching or wrestling toward truth, without arriving. Neutral: spiritually indifferent; neither reaches nor rejects. Dark: despairing, nihilistic, self-exalting or hostile to God.
- Apparent intent, what the song is for. Edifying: worship, encouragement, honest lament. Cathartic: letting grief, anger or longing out, told honestly. Ambiguous: hard to say what the song is for. Harmful: celebrates evil, mocks faith or draws toward sin.
