Meaning of the song

“This song is a little reminiscent of ‘Ruin My Life.’ It could be seen as being about a relationship where someone wronged you, whatever way that may have been. It’s about feeling betrayed. I don’t know if karma is a real thing, but in my experience, it sure seems like it is. So ‘Congratulations’ is really a song about karma. It’s like: Okay, you have this small victory because you wronged me. Well, congratulations on that one, but just remember: What goes up must come down.”

Song lyrics

With a smile on your face
Talking sweet when you say
That you had no clue
You had no clue
But all this time, a perfect plan
To stick your knife in my back
Just like you hoped to
Like you hoped to

But you’re the one that’s gotta live with what you do
(You’re the one that’s gotta live with what you do)
Karma, karma’s gonna come right back for
Karma, karma’s comin’ back for you

Congratulations
I hope you’re happy now
With the little that you got
Was it worth it?
But just remember
That what goes up comes down
It’s a long fall from the top
Congratulations
Congratulations

It must feel good, it must be nice
When your heart is cold as ice
And you feel nothin’
You feel nothin’
But is it hard to fall asleep
To close your eyes, do you see the payback comin’?
It’s comin’, yeah

You’re the one that’s gotta live with what you do
(You’re the one that’s gotta live with what you do)
Karma, karma’s gonna come right back for
Karma, karma’s comin’ back for you

Congratulations
I hope you’re happy now
With the little that you got
Was it worth it?
But just remember
That what goes up comes down
It’s a long fall from the top
Congratulations
Congratulations

You’re the one that’s gotta live with what you do
(You’re the one that’s gotta live with what you do)
Karma, karma’s gonna come right back for you
Congratulations (Congratulations, congratulations)

Congratulations
I hope you’re happy now
With the little that you got
Was it worth it?
But just remember
That what goes up comes down
It’s a long fall from the top
Congratulations
Congratulations
