The song, a fierce anthem of self-expression, empowering lyrics, and that iconic hair-whipping hook, quickly became a cultural sensation that resonated with listeners of all ages.

But for a young girl, the attention was too intense.
“There was a time where it was really, really dark. I was trying to run away from it in every single way that I could,” she told Allure in a May 2024 interview.
