Album Notes & Community Reviews
Featuring Skip Marley, this disco-inflected pop track marked the beginning of her 'purposeful pop' era for the 'Witness' album. The song disguises a pointed critique of political complacency and the distracting nature of modern entertainment beneath an incredibly upbeat, radio-friendly groove. The accompanying music video further explored these themes within a dystopian amusement park.
