“This is one of those songs that came spilling out as soon as I sat down to write it. Alex wrote the instrumental sketch and the chorus hook, “I don’t think I like these rules,” and I was immediately flooded with memories of all the rules I was taught as a girl. I, like every woman I know, was taught to constantly be on guard. We are told that not only is our safety our own responsibility, but that if we are victims of violence, harassment, or disrespect, we must immediately prove that we have done everything in our power to prevent it before being taken seriously. My sincere hope is that this song will offer some catharsis to other women who are going through something similar, but even more so that we will finally say enough is enough, that we will grow past this as a society, and that if I have a daughter, she will not be able to relate to these lyrics at all.”
