stephen1108 Posted November 8 Author Posted November 8 (edited) Quote One particular song on that album that is directly related to the girls and their experiences is "I'm Just a Girl". It's the last song on the album, and feels like their Rihanna Rated R moment. "Give me the spotlight and tell me I'm not bright, act like I can't shine without it," goes one lyric on the track, which spotlights their troubles as young Black women left to navigate the music industry from their late teens. "Yeah, you're testing my patience, underestimation / with your conversation 'bout my reputation / Yeah you want me good girl, say shut up and look good / but damn, what would you know about it?" "That song is funny because I feel like a lot of people belittled us or didn't see what we saw in terms of what we were capable of," says Renée. "Because we were young, people thought they could take the reins," adds Stella. However, what ended up as a battle cry of sorts was initially another sexually charged track that MNEK reframed, because "we needed a song to address our feelings towards the industry and we didn't have the right song [to do it]," says Renée. "We did have the right song, actually. Fame and ****, you will have justice!" Jorja proclaims, thudding the table with mock-dramatic effect. https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/64522/1/access-all-areas-flo-dazed-interview-autumn-2024 So was this song reworked into "I'm Just a Girl"? Am I comprehending this correctly? Edited November 8 by stephen1108
