reasons “boyfriend” by marika hackman is a work of wlw art

- it’s a song about how gross it is for men to fetishize wlw relationships

- the chorus is “its fine ‘cause i am just a girl/its just a dream/he knows a woman needs a man to make her scream”

- the “narrative” of the song is that shes dating this guys gf and she thinks the guy might know? so shes explaining that “well it doesnt matter that she clearly prefers me bc im just a girl, right? so it’s not a real relationship; it doesnt count”

- the opening lines are “ive got your boyfriend on my mind/i think he knows you stayed w me last night/i held his world in my hands/ i threw it out to see where it would land”, the last but echoed later by “i held his girl in my hands/she likes it ‘cause theyre softer than a man’s”

- “he makes a better man than me so i know he wont be mad”

- its alt rock

- “a woman really needs a man to make her scream” followed by screams and a muffled interjection of “i cant do it any higher”

- the music video? it has a grungy boy band preforming before a crowd of beautiful women but then it follows the chords for their speakers through the building to where marika and her group are actually performing the song.
