The singer also shared a black and white music video for the track, directed by Child. It showcases Lizzo and her entourage as circus performers as Lizzo declares her freedom: “She’s a bitch/ Uh you mean boss/ You been through what I been through/ You know the cost/ If I lost some followers it ain’t a loss.”
“This song is dedicated to the women who get called a bitch for having boundaries, for being sexual, for speaking up for themselves, for working hard and owning businesses,” Lizzo wrote on social media. “If we don’t smile and perform all the time we’re ‘ungrateful.’ If we run a strict program we’re ‘mean.’ If we enjoy sex we’re ‘sluts’ and shamed.”
She added, “This WOMANIFESTO is a declaration of independence from the bullsh*t. It’s a B!TCH summer.”
