About this song
The song is the lead single from Courtney Barnett's second solo studio album, Tell Me How You Really Feel. Its chorus paraphrases a Margaret Atwood quote that Barnett first came across in an article, without knowing it was Atwood's words. Barnett said she only made the connection to Atwood while putting together the album credits, after having seen her work in The Handmaid's Tale.
What it's about
The song deals directly with toxic behaviour, violence, and misogyny. Its chorus turns on the idea that men fear being laughed at by women, while women fear being killed by men.
