Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released during Pride Month as the second single from 'Lover', this track addresses internet trolls, homophobia, and the media's tendency to pit women against each other. The synth-pop production is relatively restrained, allowing her pointed, tongue-in-cheek lyrics to take focus. Its celebrity-packed music video famously ended her long-standing public feud with Katy Perry.
