About this song
Courtney has said the song was shaped by her move to Canada from Alabama at 15, where she saw how religion can be used to subjugate women. Mike Stringer called the track fun and catchy, while Courtney described it as bitter, aiming to help listeners who are not women understand what it feels like to be one.
What it's about
The song explores the social pressure on women to stay gentle and obedient, drawing on the idea of 'keeping sweet,' a notion of femininity built around softness, kindness, humbleness and meekness. It is about the expectation that women should be complacent and about the cost of constantly giving parts of themselves to others.
