when looking at the lyrics a constant theme drifted into our minds that the song was depicting a male who was in control of a female. The song had taken the stereotypical male who has control and women falling at his feet to one who was completely controlled by the female.
Lyrics such as:"one kiss and I'm zapped", "when a girl like you has cast a spell on me", "but first she'll conquer me discreetly", "the female of the species is more deadlier than the male" suggest the idea of the female being in complete control. We decided to take these lyrics directly and present them within our music video subverting the female stereotype showing her being the one that cheats, abuses, and controls the situation at all times. Whereas in society it came across to us that the male is more likely to commit these offences, with the female putting up because she has no choice. This was certainly something we wanted to portray in our video.
Yussra and Marwa.
