"Bravado" is a song about overcoming a feeling of self-doubt and fear and embracing the courage to stand out and be proud of oneself. The song speaks of the feeling of being judged by others, and how one can use those judgments as a force of motivation. The song encourages one to find their own inner bravery and strength, while also celebrating their success and the pride that comes along with it. The chorus conveys this with the lyrics 'I was frightened of/Every little thing that I thought was out to get me down/To trip me up and laugh at me, but/I learned not to want'. Through this song, Lorde emphasizes that everyone should be proud of who they are, and that they mustn't let anyone else put them down.
