Explicit as it is, Lily Allen’s new girl-power song and video, “Hard Out Here,” sends a big “CHECKMATE” to sexists everywhere. An unending amount of topics regarding feminism are addressed in the new single.

First on the list is her rebuttal of fat shaming. It’s not news that the body image struggle runs high among females across the globe, so right away it is introduced. Allen is on a surgical table and is obviously enacting a liposuction. The men in the room around her are making comments such as, “How can somebody let themselves get like this?” and “We need some more off the stomach and then we’ll start on the legs.” With an obvious eye roll, she quietly remarks on her body being the way it is because she had not only one, but two babies, and that’s only her first punch of sass.

Allen also addresses weight issues later in the song with the biting lyrics: “You should probably lose some weight ‘because we can’t see your bones.” The level of sarcasm alone soars straight through the ceiling.

Speaking of ceilings, the singer also references the “glass ceiling.” She sings, “There’s a glass ceiling to break, I heard there’s money to make, and now it’s time to speed it up ‘cause I can’t move at this pace.” She’s opinionated, and I love it.

When the topic of “Male vs. Female” arises throughout the song, the feminist inside me wants to jump through my computer screen and just give Allen the biggest macho-woman high five ever. One of the best lines of the song is, “If I told you ‘bout my sex life, you’d call me a slut, but when boys be talking ‘bout their b*tches no one’s making a fuss.” With a wink as she sings ‘sex life’ the cheeky sarcasm and absolute accuracy just oozes from Allen.

Headstrong is a word that perfectly describes this song and even Allen herself, especially when she introduces the controversial stereotype of women having to cook and clean. In the video, Allen washes tire rims at a kitchen sink as if she’s doing dishes. If boldly bringing in both male and female stereotypes wasn’t enough of a statement, she also sings, “If you’re not a size 6, and you’re not good looking, well you better be rich or be real good at cooking,” and, “you’ll find me in the studio and not in the kitchen.”

Finally, Allen mocks the song “Blurred Lines” by singer Robin Thicke. At one point she copies an idea from the music video for his unnerving song, where he has giant balloons that spell out a phrase glorifying his own genitalia. Allen does the same thing, only writing a phrase less glorifying and maybe more truthful, certainly poking fun at Thicke’s statement, maybe even calling him a liar. She also very clearly references his song directly in her lyrics.

There’s much more that Lily Allen wittily addresses in her newest song, “Hard Out Here.” But with her mountains of sass and heavy sarcasm, Allen brings an army of mockery ready to fight in the battle of gender discrimination.
