Rebecca Black weigert een ‘lieveling’ te zijn op nieuwe single

Rebecca Black is helemaal volwassen en maakt het duidelijk op ‘Sweetheart’, vandaag exclusief in première op Billboard (24 oktober). De brutale track toont de 22-jarige die haar sensualiteit opeist terwijl ze mannen afveegt die onderdanige vrouwen verkiezen boven een dominante kracht.

“Don’t call me a sweetheart, s–t like that makes my skin crawl / Bury that girl in the backyard, betcha didn’t think I’d take you that far,” is te horen in het nieuwe nummer.

“I love seeing women, especially in pop, be so unafraid to say what’s on their minds and share the experiences they’ve been going through,” vertelt Black aan Billboard. “Obviously this has been happening throughout our whole entertainment industry. But I have definitely felt this newer sense of empowerment.”

“One thing that I have just always felt [overwhelmed by] is having to be sweet and kind and strong and nice and pretty. And ‘Sweetheart’ is me saying ‘No, I’m done with that.’ I’m not who I was anymore and I’ll never be that.”
