Has anyone heard this song
I heard it other other day and was so so shocked by the lyrics I nearly had a heart attack 😂
Why do mainstream artists bring out utter filth like this. I really don’t like my kids (teenage) hearing this garbage….ive listened to some garbage in my time but it’s another level and is shocking to me coming from such a popular artist.
I know everyone will be like well they will hear it on YouTube/tiktok…..but I’d really like it not to be coming up on Spotify which they listen to alot 🫣

You cannot help but eye roll at this. He's a tame, nondescript performer who has teamed up with a bottom of the barrel act in an attempt to be "outrageous".

Edgy has all been done before. Frankie Goes to Hollywood with "Relax", then the calculated (but clever) Madonna got in on the act.

If you are going to do it at least try and make it artistic. Trent Reznor gave it a good go with "Closer".

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

OMG thank goodness it’s not APT, me and my toddler have been bopping to that one, even though I hated the APT bit at first and was extremely judgy about it haha

@septumring99 A lot of the posters here will have heard it on YouTube, contributing to view count. Doesn’t mean they like it.

If you look at the comments, vast majority say 🤮 what tf is this shite

Exactly this. Anyone who thinks this song is OK, because some artists do 'adult stuff' is deluded. Also deluded if you think many people love it as it's apparently 'being streamed loads.' And I doubt that to be honest!

The only people streaming it are

  1. perverts who like porn.

  2. misogynists who like to see women being objectified and have zero respect for women.

  3. 12-17 year old boys.

The song is vile, pointless, and utterly shite. Every place I have looked so far has everyone saying this song is one of the worst things they've ever heard

I think @septumring99 (who seems to be pretty much on their own here,) is Bruno Mars's publicity Agent. 😂

(I wonder which of the above 3 septumring99 is?!) 😬

Wow it’s awful. Sounds like it was written by Jay from the Inbetweeners.

😂It really does. Very cringey.

BusySittingDown · 27/01/2025 20:22

I hadn't heard it so just looked it up on Apple Music.

Oh. My. God!!! The lyrics are hilarious 🤣.
Immature, I know, but I couldn't stop laughing.

Not something you want to be playing with kids about that's for sure!

Roxieandthegang · 27/01/2025 20:22

I can’t get my head around people comparing this to ride my pony and my neck my back…and on and on….yes they were dirty but not like this. Girls will hear this and yes it’s not all about men getting whatever they want but things are so much more viral now and so many more children listen to music. It’s not ok to push the narrative that girls should sleep about. I hate the way the world is going in this certain way.
I’m sorry but I completely disagree it’s disgusting to teach young girls to act this way and act as bad as certain pervy men do (teaching teenage boys to act a certain way with girls) and no one can convince me otherwise wise.

I’m sure it sounds great in a swingers club when you’re off your tits on amyl nitrate, viagra and charlie though🤨

Why are you so concerned about girls listening to it? Parents shouldn’t be letting them. And once they’re old enough, ie adults, and if they want to sleep about that’s their choice not yours!!!

Seems somewhat counter-productive. I don't know a single soul who would pay for this drivel. Why not release something really good? Confused

How is this the man who wrote the same lyrics as “When I see your face there’s not a thing that I would change cos you’re amazing just the way you are”

What is he doing?

Mid life crisis?

There was a song on R1 a few months ago which had so many words blanked out that half of it was silent. Completely pointless.

StrawDonkey · 27/01/2025 20:30

Grim. Reminds me of listening to Tim Westwood in the 90s/2000s, playing explicit rap and being very creepy/pervy on the radio (we all know what became of him). It’s also got P Diddy ‘Nasty Girl’ vibes.

Cheers for that. No and yes. You clearly don’t take any responsibilities for what your children are consuming - you didn’t even know how to block a song on Spotify. Well done hun xx

It might actually be worse than anything Jay said but I'd have to watch the Inbetweeners boxset again to check lol.

Could you have not said that in your last reply where you actually tagged me so I had half a chance of seeing? How am I being a dick? I’m rightly calling out lazy parenting.

If it hits too close to home then idk what to tell you babes.

@FallOfTheHouseOfUtterlyButterly
i didn’t post the song because I didn’t want to traumatise anyone that didn’t know what song I was talking about 🙏

You can post the title and people can look it up
It's just annoyingly cryptic otherwise
