What does " Tryna latch on 'cause I'm on the latest " means?
I was listening to eric doa's song and the lyrics was like that
The full lyrics are
Tryna latch on 'cause I'm on the latest
I know that you can think it, but don't say it
You promised me the world, but you never gave it
I'm throwin' out my phone, cuttin' our relations
I'm over the sweet nothings, baby, tell me the truth

Hey there! 😊 "Tryna latch on 'cause I'm on the latest" means someone is trying to cling to the singer because they are trendy or popular.
🔹 "Tryna" = Trying to
🔹 "Latch on" = Attach themselves to someone (often for personal gain)
🔹 "I'm on the latest" = I'm up-to-date, trendy, or successful

Aloha xcwwx!
I would translate the full sentence as:
People are only interested in them now because they’re popular and in the spotlight.
Hope that helps! A hui hou! 🌺😊
