Song Meaning of “Prom Night” by Chance the Rapper
‘Prom Night’ by Chance the Rapper is a song about making mistakes and looking back on them with both regret and appreciation. He talks about how it’s important to learn how to move on from mistakes, but also to take away the lessons learned from those experiences. By reflecting on what went wrong and what he has learned, Chance is able to make peace with his past and envision a brighter future.
The chorus highlights this idea, singing “I made mistakes/But Prom Night taught me how to get by/I learned what I needed/Reflections aint a bad start.” Chance knows that despite the mistakes he has made, his experience taught him valuable lessons and they were not for naught. He is ready to move on with his life, accepting both the good and the bad from the past while looking towards a promising future.
