    resonates with Mark 12:30-31

    The outro's call to love God and neighbor directly echoes Jesus's summary of the law, a striking turn within an otherwise secular party song.

    strains against Mark 12:31

    Jesus assumes self-love as a baseline and calls for love of neighbor; the song makes self-love the goal itself rather than a starting point for loving others.
