btw this is about the new rita ora song called “girls” which features the chorus “sometimes, i just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls / red wine, i just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls.”
except literally all of the four singers are straight. and the song was written by five men and cardi b.
about the song, rita said “at first listen, you’ll be like ‘oh wow. she’s definitely letting us know that she likes girls.’ but it’s not that…the song is basically about females complimenting other females and supporting each other”.
so like. she’s singing this song (written by almost all men) about girls wanting to kiss girls, and then frantically pulling a no-homo and saying that the song is about feminism somehow. not girls loving girls. which completely invalidates the love of women that wlw like myself actually have.
and her trying to immediately advertise and sell the song as a “bisexual anthem” when it features no actual bisexual artists. the lgbtq community is not a marketing campaign.
because, oh, of course. women wanting to kiss women is “twisted.” thanks rita.
(also the song’s inspiration is apparently katy perry’s “i kissed a girl” so no wonder it’s a mess tbh)
tl;dr: rita ora, charli xcx, bebe rexha, and cardi b released a song trying to profit off of the lgbtq community and wlw specifically while doing literally nothing to actually help our community and marginalizing the voices of actual lgbtq artists.
the song’s just trying to take our money, treat us like nothing more than a trend, and exploit our love. please, instead of listening to this garbage song, support actual lgbtq artists.
