To be honest, I don't really like this. Also it's such a different direction from what she released before, she doesn't even sound like herself? but hey I'm glad she's back into making music, even if this time it doesn't match my taste!
This is not what I expected but good for her for experimenting I guess?? Her voice sounds really different which is a shame because I liked her tone before. I'm a little flabbergasted but I feel like this is one of those songs that's weird enough to sound better with every listen.
Edit: Okay, I listened to it again and looked up the lyrics, I'm warming up to it. The ching-ing-ing-ing-yah is going to haunt my dreams.
surprised to see the comments on here since reddit and twitter love it esp since the lyrics are an actual Anthem:
Get up strong, make your own, it's in our hands Shake up strong, crack the form, this is our age
Head down when I pull up Strike hard when it's cooled off I'm unfuckable creature Not a young average school girl Decolonize from weakness Overpower their system Staying raw is my wisdom Wilderness into kingdom
I like the instrumental a ton but not sure about her singing style (i liked her chill unique tone from before) the lyrics are really cool tho
The lyrics are great, my favourite part is: No longer silenced, we stand up brave You can't block or control it I need to change up this game Don't identify self in male gaze I'm raising my voice to be heard, building my world on me Take dirty hands off of me Bigger the fights, bigger rewards Fire, trigger go bang
Yeah i think her old music is what her record label was forcing her to do and now she gets to do the music she wants especially reading those lyrics. I like how she mentions not being a school girl too. There’s really too many girl groups in school uniforms nowadays. Its ok when they're actual high schoolers but when they're already in their 20s it needs to stop
Yea with the girl group nominations for outfits, it was harder selecting from newer generation groups because there are so.many.schoolgirl outfits. All variations of the same damn thing
This really shocked me when i first listened to it... but i mean im sure shes happy doing it and helped write it so get it honey! I mean im selfish bc i loved her old stuff so much
When someone said it reminds them of grimes that was an accurate comparison lol. i can also hear some charli xcx and fka twigs in there. I think i like the song but i prefer her old vocal tone. Grimes high tone has always been her signature but for lim kim i’m used to a deeper tone. The lyrics are cool but i wonder why she chose to write them all in english?
These comments had me worried and then I realized I liked it 😬 but I’m used to that, plenty of songs that are well loved I find boring, I’m into this weird shit lol
Well that was.... SO GOOD! haha I'm coming from listen to indie/experimental so this is very my kind of music. To me it sounds like a more urban "Gang gang dance" and I love them so 👍

I still love her old stuffs but this was out of nowhere. Really happy
