You Dont Own Me

The song is about wanting a romantic partner to treat them as more than just a possession. The singer tells their partner that they don't own them and won't let the partner constrain them or tell them what to do. They ask their partner to hold them and make memories with them as if they were more than just friends if it's their last night together.
