“People make strange assumptions about my personality and morality based on my body - afferma Genevieve Glynn-Reeves - They think because I’m overtly feminine and curvy that I must be flirtatious or highly sexual when in reality it’s them who are sexualising something that I have no control over. I can wear the same exact outfit as a very slender person and be perceived totally differently in it. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy and taking a tongue in cheek look at what society expects me to be. There is also a point to be made about the fetishisation of oppressed bodies. I’m speaking from my own experience with fatphobia where the same traits that I’m shamed for societally I am also fetishised for. Fatphobia is rooted in racism and women of colour are constantly fetishised by the same society that is structured around their oppression. I also know that porn searches for categories that feature older women actually outweigh those for younger women who fit more neatly into the traditional male gaze. Yet, as women age, they are told their value is depreciating. I have never met a woman who has gotten less interesting and potent as she got older honestly. I can’t speak to all of these experiences personally and chose to focus very much on my own lived experience but I hope it can resonate widely nonetheless. This song is both an analysis of this phenomenon, and a rejection of it”.
 
E aggiunge: It came about very suddenly, me and Sean were driving home from somewhere, and I started singing the hook. I got him to voice-note it while I drove, and then when we got home we spent the evening writing the rest, arranging it in Ableton. The whole thing came out like word vomit, for both of us. That was the moment, more than any other, that we knew we had something special with the album. As a result, it’s a favourite for all of us”.
