Accompanied by a slow, haunting beat, the song begins: “So, this producer hit me up on the DM. He told me, ‘Hey, I really like what you are doing’. He told me, ‘Come ‘round to the studio, let’s cook it’. He told me, ‘Come to catch a vibe and make some music’. But when I got there, should’ve heard what he was saying – tryna touch me, tryna fuck me, I’m not playing.”
“I was seven, just 21, was 17, was 11,” she sings. “It took a while to understand what consent means. If I was ruthless, they’d be in the penitentiary, but all the stress of being honest wouldn’t help me.” Breaking up these points of sadness and reflection, however, are moments of confidence that see Raye reclaim the narrative. As the song reaches its chorus, she sings: “I’m a very fucking brave, strong woman. And I’ll be damned if I let a man ruin how I walk, how I talk, how I do it.”is a multi-faceted and emotionally complex song that explores life after sexual assault from all angles – and plenty of fans have taken to social media to praise Raye’s bravery and honesty.
