I am totally bemused by the group fifth harmony and the utter misogyny in the lyrics, they're just so demeaning.
Eg 1 - "you just gotta go to work"
eg 2 choice lyrics include:
Everything is blank until you draw me
Everything is gray until you draw me
Write on me
Color outside the lines
Love the way you tat me up
Baby take your time
Wtf happened to girl power in pop? These songs are so debasing, meaning the girls just serve men, they are blank slates to be written on by men. I've read some articles that suggest most of their songs are written by men and not written by these girls at all. Am actually quite concerned they are coerced into singing these songs against their wishes, they were on the x factor in the USA so are very likely to have no say in their contractual obligations including twerking in hotpants. :(
