I want to understand the lyrics of the song "Hey Ya" by Outkast. Can you explain the plot of the song and what it means?

The song "Hey Ya" by Outkast is about a man who is going through an ending relationship. He is trying to come to terms with it and is struggling to come to grips with the situation. He is telling the girl he is trying to get back that he loves her and that she can’t go away. He repeats a plea in the chorus of “Hey Ya” and ultimately tells her that he’ll do anything to have her back. The lyric “shake it like a Polaroid picture” suggests the man wants to take a snapshot of this moment, preserving it in the photos of their relationship together. Ultimately, it is a song about the man wanting to keep a relationship together and his efforts to win her back.
