Do you anticipate authoritative a four-minute club jam about accord underscores that idea? That it’s not some big, burdensome, unsexy topic—it’s so accessible you can put it in a pop song?

I aloof capital to feel acceptable about it. I was atrocious to feel acceptable again. I was atrocious to not be the victim. I didn’t appetite to get ashore in the affectionate of whining, affronted affections of the situation. That’s actual depressing. So how do I aloof access out of this and feel actually acceptable about myself and not feel afraid afresh to assure myself? I’m activity to feel assured saying, “These are my curve and you’ve beyond them—that’s it, bye!” If you appetite to cantankerous them, you’ve got to say the appropriate things, you’ve got to get the appropriate permission.

One affair that addled me about this song was how abundant it stands out adjoin songs like “Blurred Lines” and “What Do You Mean”—the abstraction that you can’t booty women at their chat is so coded into accepted music.

It’s actual adamantine to feel like it’s account the activity to alike bother whining about it or accusatory about it. For me, it’s abundant bigger time spent aloof adage the opposite, adage what I anticipate is right. But I’ve noticed that that apprenticeship goes both ways. It’s one affair cogent women that what they’re adage is not what they mean. But you’re additionally cogent added men that women don’t apperceive what they mean, which is alike added damaging. It’s a lie that gets fed to adolescent men. In the bearings I was in, I don’t anticipate this guy actually believed what he was saying. He was aloof activity by some debris media rules that [imprinted] on him, “This is how to accord with this situation.” I’m not demography abroad the accusation from him or anything, but all this sh-t comes from somewhere.

The song is a accord with rappers Dreezy and Leikeli47. Did you consistently apperceive you capital to accept rappers on the song?

I didn’t, because back I aboriginal started aggravating to address this song, I was like, “Oh no, this is activity to be terrible, this is activity to be corny.” I actually acquainted like it was sitting on a abominable abode because it was so honest. I was a little bit ashamed by it. But I knew it was a actually important affair to say. What got me through the bearings is my friends, so this song bare accompany on it. It needs that vibe. The alone way I got through this bearings was my accompany going, “Girl, that was animal harassment!” I was like, “Yeah, it is, isn’t it?” I didn’t alike apprehend it. My self-esteem was so damaged that I didn’t appetite to allocution about it.

As anon as I got the verses from Dreezy and 47 I was like, “That’s it! There we go!” There’s a validation in accepting added women adjudge that that’s an important affair to allocution about as well. They’re accommodating to angle out there with you and go, “Yeah, I’ll allocution about consent! I’ve been through it myself!” You apprehend you’re not alone—that’s the accomplished point of autograph the song. With Leikeli47 and Dreezy, it became the absolute antithesis of altered choir and altered women. We all appear from actually altered backgrounds, and we’re advancing from actually altered perspectives on the aforementioned subjects. I don’t anticipate it could accept been the aforementioned song after them.

What was it like cutting the video? It looks like it was a lot of fun.

Oh my God, it was hideous. That is a bare baptize park, and I affirm to you the actual acumen it was bare is because it’s uninhabitable. It’s in the average of the Mojave Desert with able sand-filled apprehension that aloof get stronger throughout the day. If you watch the video again, there’s actually no point at which my beard is not my face. Not a distinct shot! I’m consistently flipping my beard out of my mouth. It’s ridiculous. I had acquaintance lenses and had to change them like three times.
