Song Summary of Rich Girl

Song 'Rich girl' featuring Eve and produced by Dr. Dre.

Album: L.A.M.B

Gwen is fantasizing about being wealthy and how it would make her feel if she was the richest person in the world. She would never run out of money. Men could not test her to see if she was a gold digger and influence her with their money. She dreams about all the things she could buy with the money. Gwen mentions that she would buy all of Vivenne Westwood's items in her Galliano gown. (Vivenne Westwood is a top notch British clothing designer. Started her career early 70's and first designer gown Gwen wore was made by John Galliano.) She would have homes in Hollywood and London because she doesn't want to be restricted to just one neighbourhood. She'd get four Harajuku girls. Harajuku girls are a group of Japanese girls from Harajuku district who wear bright colours mixed up with lots of funky clothing especially hello kitty.They would enliven her and save her. She would dress them wicked and give them names. The word wicked is a New England slang for 'Very'.

Eve sings about everyone in the world joining forces from the neighbourhood of Japan's Harajuku girls. She tells us to bring down the barriers in the name of love and sings about the lessons she has learned from her past experiences and how life has changed drastically for Gwen and her from being a nobody to Rich Celebrities. With all the fame comes fans (some obsessed) who try to follow the fashion trend set by them.

In the end all this money is worthless when it comes to finding true love. Gwen knows the love the guy feels for her can't be bought and it's better then buying precious rocks.
