LYRICS:
Seem like everywhere I go, everybody wanna know
What’s it like to be a girl, in the music world
The scene is so sexist, believe me I get it, we’d probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest but forget it
I work like one of the boys, and I’m as true as they get
but I’m a lady through and through, like give me some credit
I knew I’d regret it if I tried to blend in and pretend
Be something other than I am
like have you noticed I’m a woman
Didn’t come to downplay it, or to play it up either
and I’m not trying pick a fight or be nobody's leader
But it feels like everybody’s just a little too interested
In the fact that females can indeed make music
Our interviews, our bios, - they all make it a point
"Female Fronted Band, from Decatur, Illinois"
And just once, I’d like to see some other band’s resume go out of their way to say they’re fronted by a male, ok?
And while we’re on it, let me say
Women don’t all sound the same
Who gave us the idea that "Female Fronted” is a genre anyway?
CHORUS
Seem like everywhere I go, everybody wanna know
What’s it like to be a girl, in the music world
Wanna make it disappear, tell them what they wanna hear,
If truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me
Will you love me, love me ugly
And I know it’s not fair, and I can’t complain,
'Cause with girl in our band, people don’t look away
But you know what, it feels like they look just a little too long
stare me up and down, forget to listen to the song
I take the stage and before I even open my mouth, the audience assumes that they got us all figured out
"Oh your band’s got a chick, must be some kinda trick,
there’s no way she got this far without sucking somebody's"
Did you really think that’s how it works, I’m not fucking eye candy
I’m here to do my job, I’ll be the last man standing
Boys in the crowd asking, for me to flash them, well here you go, news flash: You’re ignorant and that’s that
I bet you’d never say that to your little sister
The media’s got you all jacked up, little mister
'Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle
walking a tightrope, don’t know which way to go
Hypersexualize, or downplay your femininity
Dress like the dudes, or pray to God that you’re pretty
Are you kidding me? And I don’t even know who’s to blame
Beauty sells, I buy it too, I’m trying to sell it back it you.
CHORUS
So tell me, what’s a woman to do - no, scratch that -
Tell me what’s a human being to with the fact that
What gets us ahead just holds us back more?
Is a level playing field too much to ask for?
And I know that by saying it, I'm bringing attention
To an issue that might be better left unmentioned -
but someone's gotta say it, gotta call out the scene
the scene is obscene, my sanity's split at the seams
So to all of ya’ll making this just about ass and tits
here to set the record straight, it don’t gotta be this way
We can change the game, rearrange the way to fame
And make a bigger deal about the talent than the face
See I got little girls watching me, wanting to be like me,
And I wanna show them that they don’t gotta be like me
They can do their own thing, they can rewrite the rules
They can get respect without acting like fools
So lets not make it harder than it has to be
I’ll keep making music, you stop asking me
What’s it like to be a girl in the entertainment world,
'Cause now you know
Thank you for the love & views, Icon Army! This is our first music video as an independent band, and we want you to know that your support means a whole freaking lot to us. Much love, IFH
Hey you guys are great and I can wait to see you thrive with your own label and creative license, keep up the good work
even my dad likes this I go skateboarding I have not yet run into boys I wonder how thay are going to act around me I hope thay like me if not I will play this to them
+iconforhire Congrats
+jaime hamilton most guys will challenge you saying you can't do something then when you prove them wrong they will stand by you
+iconforhire Not meaning to criticise your choice in name for your group of fans, but wouldn't calling them 'Iconics' be a little nicer and more unique? Seems a lot of groups use the 'army' description and I guess I've just always disliked it.
But in the end it's not about what we are called, but the appreciation of the music you produce and this one resonates due to its incredibly organic lyrics on an issue more often than not rammed down peoples throats when addressed. It's refreshing to see it be addressed (as of course it needs to be) in the right way. I look forward to seeing you guys live again someday. Hopefully headlining rather than supporting too!
"Hypersexualize or downplay your femininity. Dress like the dudes, or pray to God that you're pretty. Are you kidding me? And I don't even know who's to blame. Beauty sells, I buy it too, I'm trying to sell it back it you."
MY FAVORITE LINE IN ANY SONG EVER!!
sadly my girl may she rest in peace in my eyes could not look so freaken hot. dress like a bum hot girly her self up hot. she was almost out of med school and all the doc there where like whos junk are you sucking like a woman couldnt be a doc. she would reply you wish it was you now learn something new boys. as she treats person with care not judging get what info she needs to determine tests that need to be done and a few hours to days depending on what test said and never had to retest for found the problem with fist wave of tests which was just there to agree with what she thought
I love how she just sounds like generally pissed because when people do stuff like this sometimes they sound like happy or monotone.
Nah, most of who plays ROCK is always with passion. Don´t know what your talking about. But apparently around 470 people knows and agree.
@@luismalheiro3602 they’re referring to the message of the song not the genre
Nii en minä tiiä miks väännätte
I love this warrior princess aesthetic.
tundermesemondo It’s more like metal steam punk :/
oh hell yeah
Lmao the "I miss the old Icon For Hire" comments have already started. They won't hold their creativity back just because some small minded people are whining about the sound. Grow up, its their music, their experiments, their music taste, their life. So hard to understand? It shouldn't be. At least they haven't stuck with one boring sound. At least they can think outside the box. Unlike you all
+Horváth Gábor Well said. I was thinking that too as I read the comments. Icon is evolving as a band. Listen to the latest REL show... she experiments with different sounds and refines the music. Personally, this isn't my favorite Icon song but I still like it. I like the message. Not to worry, the old Icon isn't gone..
+Horváth Gábor While everything you've said is true, this song is awful in my opinion. Not a fan at all. What's up with the salty lyrics too? You realise Pop music is dominated by women right? As for Rock or Metal, literally no one cares if a band has a female vocalist. This song is garbage.
+Breadbin Massacre She might have deeper reasons to write this song, it's personal just like others.Women, in pop (especially) are getting judged by everyone if they got on the top. The song itself is surely different, it really doesn't belong anywhere in their Disco, but Ariel knows why she had to write and release it.
+Horváth Gábor Yeah, a month or so back I got to talk to them about it. They were totally cool about it too. I admitted to not liking the poppy synth beat on either this and Bam Bam Pop. The lyrics for them both are pretty on point for the chosen subject and I have no objection to that. They told me they were experimenting and I can totally respect that. Even if I don't enjoy this particular upcoming album if it's too poppy, I may likely enjoy the following album. It's like NIN for me, loved Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral, and The Fragile, absolutely hated With Teeth, then Year Zero was ok and Hesitation Marks felt like a much better direction to me.
Like I said, they were totally cool about my 'criticisms,' of course prior flattery probably helped there. Whether I enjoy this album or not will have no bearing on their past or future albums. I may just have to keep an eye on them for the next album instead of jamming out to them on this one. Either way, Shawn and Ariel are very awesome and open people. I won't dump the band completely for what *I, personally* don't like from one song or one album. That's just stupid.
Horváth Gábor And men aren't getting judged? I'm not a fan of Kanye West in the slightest, but have you seen how slated the guy is? In Metal, Metallica get hate and slate no matter what they do. Look at Justin Biber. He could end world hunger and people would still hate the guy. It's not even just the lyrical content I'm not fond of, musically this is probably the most generic piece of music I've heard in a while. It's a shame because I really enjoy this band. No idea what happened here.
alot of women are missing the point of this song, saying crap like "I'm not like other girls, I don't flaunt my ass." you're proving the point of the song actually. everyone's focused on what the girl is doing.
Is she being 'slutty'? Is she dressing 'respectively'? Does she act like a man or is she nice and polite?
don't think you're special because you like sweatshirts. don't think you're basic because you like skirts and jewelry. There are no guidelines with being a girl, just wear what you want and don't concern yourself with what other people wear. it doesn't matter. it doesn't. so don't let men think you have to be different, and that being a 'normal girl' is something to be ashamed of.
Spinny And yet you have also missed the point, nowhere in the song does it specifically mention men being the ones saying this stuff to women, it's not about a gender war, it's saying everyone is equal so you shouldn't "judge a book by its cover"
Please re-read original post because it focuses on what women were saying to women and only said men once at the end for something else. Also, not to be rude, but it is about gender. Completely. This song is about gender. the opening line is "What it's like to be a girl in the music world." Almost every line is about women. You kind of contradicted yourself too at the end basically saying it's not a gender war, it's about both genders being equal. Unless you meant gender war being something other than what I thought you meant. But if that's the case then, again, my original post wasn't about men either.
normal is a mathmatical concept that has infected society, and it's entirely unattainable. Normal for me is wildly off from normal for any other humanoid out there, and trying to define ones self by that standard is actually abnormal in every sense of the term. Normal girls simply don't exist- the paradox behind the concept ensures that it remains that way perpetually. Rather than striving for a false ideal that is simultaneously impossible and will ensure endless misery, go out and be yourself until it no longer feels like a daily battle.
Ya know, I have friends that are female and if they started following the "Norm" I would think something is seriously wrong!(Im a guy)
Not only men, there are enough women too, who are thinking the ignorant way, but the rest is just true🙇🏻♂️
I love the smell of truth in the morning
Thanks your comment made me smile!
Same
It smells delicious
Yes
@Link724 Nice reference
"and while we’re on it, let me say
women don’t all sound the same"
that fucking line goes to every single one out there that says that every band fronted by a woman sounds like paramore. thank you.
ive been listening to paramore since they were nobodies on mtv, when mtv actually played music videos, and i have a special appreciation for female fronted bands, and icon for hire sounds nothing like paramore, maybe its cause im not an asshole and i actually listen i dont make that comparison, so in conclusion i agree with your statement
People actually say that? Woe, that's far from the truth, I hear no similarities at all.
People think that Icon For hire sounds like paramore? o.O The fuck!
Hold up now. I've never once heard someone say that.
ICON does NOT sound like paramore but i got my head bit off for saying Anavae did...they do! and thats not a bad thing but you are right not EVERY female rocker sounds like them.
This song isn't like their normal stuff, but that's exactly why I like it. I respect artists that are willing to try different styles.
preach! different from their usual stuff but still pretty good.
because before Tooth&Nails pretty much said what they can/can't do. Icon is now independent so this is the real them
Honestly they just wanted to try out a style not comparative their normal rock sound in which they were constricted to being on a label whereas now they are independent. I'm sure that factored into it somewhere but to think that the sole reason they made this song is for that reason alone is fairly cynical.
SAOnline not their usual but they succeeded at this lol
SAOnline this is bs in my opinion
wow a music video that gives credit to the production team ... don't see that very often
I mean in the actual video
+Blade Morgan My first name is the same as your last one... my real name that is
+HoodedGargoyle cool
Family Force 5 and Rapture Ruckus have end credits in their videos, as does The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus in the video for "Am I the Enemy". End credits to music videos are more common than you think. You'll just never see them in a video that's on VEVO, which pretty much dominates music videos on RUclips.
+HoodedGargoyle stfu ur a gargoyle >='[
"Who gave us the idea that female fronted is a genre anyway?" THANK YOU.
!!!!
IKR
I've never once heard this term before tbh.
I didn't even know that existed
The closest I've heard is that certain people say they prefer female lead vocals. Not that it is necessarily its own genre.
Not a musician but a mechanic. Gurl... felt this to my soul. Keep going, many strong women love this and love you!!
Leslie check out this new band, maybe you like it too. It's a similar style with a female singer
PENUMBRA-Tormento(video)Cheers from Argentina. Let me know if you like it Leslie!
I honestly dont know why its not an even playingfield... I know fuck all about cars, But I work in a psychological field. I give no shit if someone tells me this or that if they know better... like man or woman it does not matter if you know your stuff Ill listen. Know some great women I went to school with when we were 16-17 they studied mechanics and honestly did great as they are still going 15 years later. Its hilarious how people think women/men cant do different roles
Just because they are trying new sounds and styles doesn't mean they have abandoned the other. They didn't change, they are just trying new things. I wish more people could understand that. Not saying that you have to like this song, I am just saying..respect their creativity.
They're trying new things, which means they've changed lol. They've strayed too far from their signature sound so yes, bad or good, they've changed.
I mean they haven't changed as people or sold out. Their songs are still inspirational and have good lyrical quality. Also, they have experimented with different sounds but they are planning to go back to their signature.
+Taylor Bricker Well I sure hope so.. Their lyrics still remain great and inspirational but the music alone just doesn't stand out the way their previous works did.. They're ok but I find some of their newer songs quite boring.. The lyrics are what keep me listening while I continue to patiently wait for their true ICONIC sound.
well, their creativity is a shit. Plz come back to the rock
先生死の運び手 If an artist is going to do such a thing AT LEAST make it work! This new direction of theirs just ain't cutting it. The music sucks with the exception of the lyrics.
Ariel and I went to high school together, and let me just say... this song is so her! And I love it
I have a feeling that she was that girl who stood up for other girls getting harrassed back in school
"Fans" ask her to flash at her concerts? 😳 My confidence in humanity dropped 1000%.
Thank you Icon For Hire for making a song that states what I've been teaching my daughters and my son since they were little... be who you choose, don't conform to the world's ideals, and show them what you can do in spite of them. The mass media is horrible when it come to the image of a lady. I'm still deeply scarred by the way I was shaped into thinking my appearance is my most valuable asset, when I have so much more in me that makes me who I am. I'm always sickened to my core when I hear guys drooling over the way a female singer looks, they never even think about how they're judging her and not even considering the work she put into her talent or into the song.
Rose Avery this song is amazing it shows that girls can do what they want without pretending to be something they are not
But is it bad people want hot hot guys hot girls I don't get what people are talking about male privilege I'm not trying to me rude but if you can give me proof
Shawn just stands there with his guitar like "I got a guitar" but isn't playing XD
I love Icon For Hire forever, and I still miss Adam.
+REGISZILLA was kinda thinking the same thing. Song doesn't have much guitar parts so was curious how he'd handle it in the video. Dude still owned it tho.
This song just makes me want to scream.
I'm also done with being mentioned as "that girl who is interested in boys' stuff", when there is obviously non such a thing as "boys' stuff".
First, i am a human. Second, I'll do whatever I want to. Third, why the hell my gender matters?
People, just mind your own business and let me live as i like.
Let women be women, let men be men, and let equality be.
IFH, thank you for that super amazing and super important song!
Maya Wolff , I feel your pain. I'm a lady truck driver. This song is kinda like my anthem
Scratch that, let humans be humans. I'm a guy but there are something's like TV shows that I like that could be considered girly. For instance, I enjoy both Rambo and MLP very opposite sides of the spectrum.
I love this song so much! I'm a girl who's in a a lot of male dominated environments and this is so relatable. And im so glad this does bring "attention to something better left unmentioned"
Huge fan of the story in the video and the costumes where so good! The little girls were so cute!!!
"In your deepest pain, in your weakest hour, in your darkest night; you are lovely"
That was an awesome song... I was expecting more "rock" when I clicked on the link but wasn't disappointed, just surprised, cause the lyrical quality was still there.
+Cesar “Isaac” Perez The lyrical quality will always be there because Ariel is a great writer.
1:21 They just kidnapped a child XD
i noticed that too
Only for a little bit
CX They gave her back
Sterling the Espurr lol I think its still kidnapping though
But was it really kidnapping sense the child was willing, and got in the vehicle without force being used?
+Luna Shadow panda by definition, it's only kidnapping if it's by force and the child is taken and held unlawfully like for ransom. So, technically, they didn't kidnap her.
i really love the message the song and everything
When she says something along the lines of "Boys asking me to flash - News flash you're ignorant." That was so badass.
How the fuck does this have less than a million views? What the fuck. Not only is the message amazing but the video is kickass too. And the music is catchy as all hell. Goddammit, America. You need more of this in your music scene.
pReAcH
fucking perfect
The problem here is not "catchiness" or the message, but a vast majority of folks (like myself), love the 'rock and roll' Icon for Hire. And although a HUGE percentage of music listeners, listen to a band because they have a particular sound. Which is exactly why I stopped listening to Paramore, while the band is amazing, I don't listen to pop because I don't care for it. And although Icon is exploring their creativity and expanding their audience, they WILL lose listeners who don't enjoy this type of music. For example, Jay-Z has millions and millions of fans, but I think he sucks balls. (that last sentence has nothing to do with any of this, I just like saying that "Jay-Z sucks balls"
Go back to planet Vegeta oh wait.....Freiza blew it up Hue Hue Hue Hue!
Wray Anness op jajaj lol
"this isn't more metal"
"wish this was more rock."
rock and metal wouldn't fit the message. it's aimed at the pop culture and those rappers who believe and follow the trend of showing off more skin than necessary.
which is why i believe "pop culture" was one of the songs that made them want to quit Tooth & Nail
is this metal? I dont know, is this rap? I dont know, but one thing I know, its a perfect reason for everyone
to hate
Somebody
Make
A
Move
This is not metal its pop rock
To be fair this song is the core of Metal, buck the trends and push boundaries
Fight against the established order, it may not use the established chords and/or sound but the Metal Spirit is there
This song is like hot damn! It's like bars and yet it's really catchy and has pretty good lyrics. I love and respect this band just like a lot of my other favorite bands :D I will always support you IFH
Marco Alcocer ooh please feel free to recommend a list of your favourite bands :D you have good taste, greetings from Canada ^~^ ☆♡
People it's RapMetal, don't complain if it doesn't deal with your expectations of Metal only or Rap only, it's just original !
OH MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I love that you guys used people of all colors and sizes (a lot of times people don't :/ ). And the video in general was just so good. I'm proud of you guys. Screw Tooth & Nail (; ♡
what's tooth & nail? what does it have to do with ifh?
+Keori Katsumi It's their old label, that was pretty much trying to water down their lyrics and were telling them what they could and couldn't do with their music. They've since departed from the label and are now much happier on their own. :)
+Madison stevens wish they wouldn't have left Tooth&Nail
Isabel/Hisabel Mirosaki Why? They were seriously unhappy under that label and felt limited creatively. How is that a good thing?
+Keori Katsumi Tooth & Nail was not only limiting them on what they could or couldn't say, they were also screwing them. They were not paying them, the white vinyl that the label released...the band had NO idea and were not told about it, and seen NONE of the money from it. The label was not helping them at all, and expected the band to pay THEM before they were gonna be allowed to record any more music or videos. That is why is had been so long since they made a video. So they wanted out for a while, and finally got out the middle of last year, and then recorded the EP right away, then did Warped tour, and now a new video, and have a new album coming pretty soon...so getting away from the label was the best thing for them.
Love how the music video is just "Hey kid, wanna join a rock band"?
Almost in tears because this is the first music video I dared to watch because they had a girl in their band.
Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a singer but I was scared of being a sex-toy, and I grew up struggling with my gender because of that.
I just wanna sing my songs and have fun, thanks Icon for Hire, thanks all ya'll for standing up to this
i just discovered Icon for Hire a few days ago. Damn. all of their music & song is a thumbs up. the lyrics A++++. 👍👍👍👍👍
Shawn must have felt out of place being the only dude. But I suppose that was part of the statement probably.
1:32 there isn't much guitar to play so he's just like rocking out... without playing it lol
+Elizabeth Peters Like, that's accpetable. But if a dude said Ariel looked as hot as ever we'd be pigs and only appreciate her for her body and not her music. As a man though, he can't complain about double standards, none of us can, thanks to third wave feminism.
+Nick Colley you don't seem to understand how statements made from positions of power can affect how those statements are perceived. What would you think if a teacher told one of his/her students that they were hot? How would your reaction change if it was the student that tells the teacher that they find him/her hot? It's the same deal here. For all our progress, men are still seen as the dominant gender. It's why an ugly man can sell himself based on his vocal chords or talents but and ugly woman is laughed off the stage. There needs to be a certain standard of appearance when you are an entertainer, but you can't deny the fact that the discrepancy with which those standards are applied across the gender spectrum is anything but progressive.
Send me a video of an ugly woman being laughed off the stage. The fact of the matter is that women claim they want equality but still want to be treated like little princesses too. You can't have it both ways. Your Third Wave Feminism ruins the workplace, creating environments where women are hired for their gender and not their minds or talents. Most of the gender discrepancies as far as societal standards go are placed by other women, not men. But ugly women need something to blame I guess. Go dye your armpit hair pink or something.
They are married he's not going to feel out of place
"Beauty sells, I buy it too. I'm trying to sell it back to you!" I love her and the band soo much!! The message is so deep.
this song is fucking iconic
This is probably my favorite song by them because it brings something that is a huge problem and she actually addresses it
I really liked the message of the song
"boys in the crowd asking for me to flash them, well here you go, news flash: you're ignorant and that's that" WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS PART IT'S SO WITTY
No kidding.
I'm a hip hop head & I like this song
Tannish Brown I'm a metal, rock, and hip hop fan lol. Love this band
Tannish Brown I listen to, screamo, punk, rock , punk pop, punk rock, rock, and metal and I love icon this song is one of my favorites.
This song is amazing. She actually points out issues without shame. She is who she is. She's not trying to be someone else. That's beautiful. I love her courage. It's inspired me to be myself, even if myself is a little weird and out there. I've gotta thank her for that. So thank you.
O.O did not know she could rap like that. DAMN
She pulls out that skill in their song demons too. Its bloody wicked :3
Theres a lot of songs when she kills it!
This is rap? Really
Off with her head she kinda raps
@@jolenehampton5095 lies
the best thing. ever.
THANK YOU for the lyrics in the description. Love it when peeps do that.
Great one, especially now that I have a daughter.
She'll listen to this one later :D
ruclips.net/video/WHPVb-qMzsY/видео.html here is a awesome song for girls too
I'm not a hip-hop/rap kinda girl but I have loved IFH since Scripted came out. I'm a little disapointed this isn't more rock or metal but you know what? If they are gonna keep up this rappin and hip-hoppin thing, as long as it has meaningful lyrics, I'll buy it.
theres nothing these two can't do, don't need the damn radio. gonna keep this on replay for the rest of my life
I'm in a small band with some my guy friends and I felt SO out of place just because I was a girl. But when I heard this song, it gave me SO much hope and motivation to try harder. THANK YOU IFH!!!!
Ariel's lyrics just always slap some sense into you
I love the message in this song.
I do prefer their older stuff musically
But if they want to go a new direction, then who am I to complain?
TheSharpoint1 this.
Lol to all the people complaining about 'not having heavier music,' or 'the spirit of scripted,' if you don't like it, don't watch it.
Lol different album, so you gotta change things up! And I think they did a pretty good job with this. Even dropped an F-bomb in it haha
+Akasha Seijouruu If they started singing Death Metal or Grindcore would you be like "Who cares? It's good music."
+Akasha Seijouruu "Who cares? It's good music"
Define good music, I think Melodic death metal and Thrash metal is good music but most people don't think that's good music. When people complain about her new music, it's because they don't like pop or electro pop. People have a right to complain about her new music because they started off as a hard rock band, so her rock fans won't like her new music because it's not rock. It's not something they like.
So by saying "Who cares? It's good music" is retarded. Not everyone is going to think your taste or my taste in music is good. Her new music is so different that most rock fans won't like.
I went to a fob concert and we decided to put on "warpaint" and i did ariels make up from this video (someone recognized it and now we are friends=
Kira Tew i intend to😍😅
IMHO this song is the core of Metal, buck the trends and push boundaries
Fight against the established order, it may not use the established chords and/or sound but the Metal Spirit is there
Honestly I'm just judging everyone's dancing in this.
LOL!
Same haha
+Alicia Bowen Yup.
+Alicia Bowen Me too lmao
Ccizvamp17 You don't need to be a better dancer to criticize dancing, that's just stupid.
"Oh you are so much better than this or that gurl oooh all the girls have to be like u" Well, guys, I think u havent payed enough attention to the fucking lyrics. U giving her a compliment by insulting other women? How creative and revolutionary
Oh boo-fucking-hoo.
It's called mockery, you fool.
Where??? Does she say that?
N. Inu 3:14
It says: See, I got little girls watching me, wanting to be like me,
And I wanna show them that they don't gotta be like me.
"Im not f*cking eye candy"
I acctuly told a boy that cuz he was staring at me 😂
Honestly as you should
I love this song! First time I heard this song I am in love with this song ha ha ha. Favorite song now.
They kinda remind me of Hollywood Undead with the mix of rock and rap.
I love it I love it I love it I love it *. * and I want that doll!
I want shawn.... too far?
+HoodedGargoyle I wanted the Ariel barbie but I'd be happy with Shawn's too xD
+Gabriela Marramaque no I want human Shawn... I want to hug him... kiss him... and have his children.... I think I just crossed a fangirl line from fan... to psycho...
+HoodedGargoyle well... We've all been there with some fandom, haven't we? XD
+Gabriela Marramaque who was yours? I actually wrote fanfiction lol...
Pretty funny reading all these comments about Icon selling out, or how you can't kill us is a bad album.
Personally I'm glad they are independent; they are better off for it and can write the music they want and that shows on the album, it's incredibly emotional.
Them being as successful as they are even after going independent is the start of something new; now musicians might begin to notice that they don't need a label stepping on their throat to be successful.
Make a Moveから来たけどあまりの変わりように最初は⁉︎ってなったけど聴いてるうちにどんどんハマってった。この曲は中毒性ハンパないなって思った。
raps hella better then iggy and nicki XD
truth
Cause she's got fucking substance in the lyrics.
That may be true, but that is not why I started listening to them. I miss the punk rock.
+juan gonzalez true there rock is better
Every girl needs to hear this song at least once in her life.
Love that truth in this song
I wish there was more music like this cause she told it straight how it is and i admire her for that
Funny how people compare her to Nicki Minaj when she literally made this song as a rant against the hypersexuality she’s associated with
Trevor R. It's more about how media sexualizes women. There's nothing wrong with women being sexual, but when it's forced for views it's an issue
Correction a song against sexism. You are welcome.
+Trevor R.
And ironically Nicki Minaj is the exact opposite of what she's talking about. Nicki is weird, unique and smart. Nicki actually made it by being somebody interesting and worth listening to. Of course Ariel is frustrated by being admired for her looks, that's the only thing she has, really. Oh, sorry, and pink hair. Very original.
David Fischer Women do whatever they want with their bodies. If they want to make profit off of it, it should be because THEY want it. The issue is the oversexualization of every walking female. The issue is seeing women as objects instead as just people. A person not any less or superior than you. Just. A fucking. person. To stop treating them like they're all that different. That's the issue. I thought it was obvious. Just because you're uncomfortable with questioning yourself, doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. It's true that females in order to be recognized, specially in the entertainment world, they gotta work extra harder if they don't want to exploit their bodies. That's a reality.
Trevor R. It's almost defending Nikki
ı just love her pink hair
I love this song. it has a very good massage that most music doesn't have. I love your band as well. Just keep being you. looking forward to more songs. 😊
How is Ariel so amazing... Haha everysong is awesome, catchy and addicting, she looks beautiful in everything
ARIEL IS QUEEN OF MUSIC, SHAWN IS HER KING AND I AM THEIR FAITHFUL SERVANT.
Honestly if i was that little girl i would cover the mirror with an acrylic coating so the writing wouldn't go away XD
Am I the only one who thinks that Ariel turns into a badass in this video? Like wow!! I love the song and video so much!!
Am I the only one who loves all there songs no matter what genre they're in? Honestly I have them all and those who are debating on what genre fits them better, just keep calm and love those you love as long as they're deep meaning i honestly don't care.
This reminds me of epic rap battles of history
So, what's it like to be a fucking badass in the music world?
Ariel, I started supporing Icon because I graduated with Adam. But I am one of... Oh, my kiddo just walked in and started singing this song... Your biggest fans. Love you and Shawn! Icon!
I'm loving her outfit in this video, very post apocalypse/steam punk. Love this band so very much.
I love her hair and her dress ❤❤
"boys in the crowd askin me to flash, well here you go new flash your ignorant and thats that"
shrekt
It's been forever since I listened to this band! I've missed it!
I love it when she's spinning the little girl around. It brings back memories of my daughters. 2:37
I bet Chloe Price would fall in love with Ariel and Icon's style if she were still with us here at 2017.
Right?
#LifeIsStrange
C.R.Y.S Yes, she would!
totally!!
Absolutely
Ur the most valid commenter on youtube everyone else can go home
this song does make me kind of wonder what it's like in the music industry. I've seen a hand full of documenteries that basically say it's awful. kind of curriouse if that the general consesus from IFH as well?
I absolutely love this song and in general what she's singing about.
I love the hard rock/hip-hop mix you guys are doing! This is why I love music.
These are most genius lyrics EVER
God damn I want ariels outfit
I listen this every friking day and it's always so awesome.
Catchy with an amazing purpose. Perfect song
I love the lyrics, I love the message. I also love how there are women of all races and body types in the video... love you Icon!
I love the song, but i hope the spirit of Scripted hasn't die yet ^-^
It hasn't died, it just took another form, they are still the Icon For Hire That we LOVE, they are still free spirits That do what is best, talk about freedom
+RedSPINE The spirit of Scripted and the spirit of Icon For Hire don't go together - they've said before how it was very controlled by the record label. THIS is Icon For Hire
they're working on heavier music now
Blood Rayne Ahem, you're not me, i don't know how you can speak in my name, maybe it's what you love, but I personnally enjoyed Scripted more than all the last songs.
+RedSPINE Well if you liked Scripted more than the rest of their music, then you didn't really like ICON FOR HIRE...you liked Tooth & Nail's watered down version of Icon for Hire. THIS is the real Icon for Hire, saying what they want in their music, and experimenting with different styles and sounds and mixing it up, not confining themselves to just one particular sound.
Ok, thank GOD my cousin showed this band to me HOW did I not find this?????
Beautiful
ok - kids... new legends....
This woman is my idol.
Love it! Just another reason that REL is a hero to my MEL :) She was 4 when she found your music and at 9 still rocking to Icon for Hire! She currently rocks bright teal tips in her hair and her "punky girl" clothes. When people comment that her "Look" is "weird" she shoots back "I love how I look, love my style and I know that my mom loves it too. and the lead singer for an awesome band is my inspiration so back off!" Yeah so she uses Icon for Hire as her inspiration and to put playground bullies in their place! Rock on REL!
"See I got little girls watching me, wanting to be like me,
And I wanna show them that they don’t gotta be like me
They can do their own thing, they can rewrite the rules
They can get respect without acting like fools"
Im not a girl but shes spitting straight facts.
Who is listening to this in 2022
2024 🥹😍
I wish I could give this song A million likes
I can't put my finger on it but this video made me feel better about being nonbinary and presenting different as a kid
I love icon for hire so much
