about
"‘Standing O’ is our modern times continuation of Leslie Gore’s ‘You Don’t Own Me.’ Having both experienced and witnessed the abuse of power by men in notable positions, both in and out of the music industry, I wrote this song at a time when I felt peak exhaustion and frustration as someone that identifies as female. Repeatedly encountering being gaslit, my worth dismissed, groomed, talked down to publicly all while watching this new rise of oppression in our country being force-fed to us by the media by these performative men in power — our voice is the most powerful thing we have in fighting back. Speaking up for ourselves, speaking up for others, voting, marching, protesting, pushing back against the patriarchy is how we reclaim our power. This song is a call for a sarcastic standing ovation to applaud oppressors for thinking they have more power at the end of the day than they actually do. We still have our voice."

lyrics
Don’t waste my time with your bargaining blues
Don’t be so careless with the targets you choose
(Like sharp teeth that sink in
You’re poison that creeps in)
Don’t throw a punch if you're gonna miss
Don’t even grasp still what you’re up against
(Like a time bomb I’m ticking
I’m a time bomb gone off)
I dare you to come for me
You don’t know me
Can’t control me
You don’t own me
Here’s your standing o
Cause everything you do is for show
Here’s the applause that you’re hurting for
How do you sleep thinking there’s nothing more
(Like sharp teeth that sink in
You’re poison that creeps in)
Tell me the price for spinning your web
One wrong move, I’ll be your biggest regret
(Like a time bomb I’m ticking
I’m a time bomb gone off)
I dare you to come for me
You don’t know me
Can’t control me
You don’t own me
Here’s your standing o
Cause everything you do is for show
You’ll never know
You’ll never know, you’ll never see the truth
You’ll never focus the view
The world’s not as cruel as you’re making it
You just can’t catch a break without faking it
You’ll never know
You’ll never know, you’ll never win the fight
You’re never satisfied
The world’s not as cruel as you’re making it
You just can’t catch a break without faking it
I dare you to come for me
You don’t know me
Can’t control me
You don’t own me
Here’s your standing o
Cause everything you do is for show
Like sharp teeth that sink in
You’re poison that creeps in
Like a time bomb I’m ticking
I’m a time bomb gone off
Don’t be so careless with the targets you choose
(Like sharp teeth that sink in
You’re poison that creeps in)
Don’t throw a punch if you're gonna miss
Don’t even grasp still what you’re up against
(Like a time bomb I’m ticking
I’m a time bomb gone off)
I dare you to come for me
You don’t know me
Can’t control me
You don’t own me
Here’s your standing o
Cause everything you do is for show
Here’s the applause that you’re hurting for
How do you sleep thinking there’s nothing more
(Like sharp teeth that sink in
You’re poison that creeps in)
Tell me the price for spinning your web
One wrong move, I’ll be your biggest regret
(Like a time bomb I’m ticking
I’m a time bomb gone off)
I dare you to come for me
You don’t know me
Can’t control me
You don’t own me
Here’s your standing o
Cause everything you do is for show
You’ll never know
You’ll never know, you’ll never see the truth
You’ll never focus the view
The world’s not as cruel as you’re making it
You just can’t catch a break without faking it
You’ll never know
You’ll never know, you’ll never win the fight
You’re never satisfied
The world’s not as cruel as you’re making it
You just can’t catch a break without faking it
I dare you to come for me
You don’t know me
Can’t control me
You don’t own me
Here’s your standing o
Cause everything you do is for show
Like sharp teeth that sink in
You’re poison that creeps in
Like a time bomb I’m ticking
I’m a time bomb gone off
