And it has been one hell of a year. I have worn the seasons under my sleeves, on my thighs, running down my cheeks. This is what surviving looks like, my dear.

Spice Girls ‘Wannabe’ Wants To Be An Anthem For Girl Power

What do girls want? What do they really, really want?

That’s the topic of the 1996 song “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls, which was definitely aimed at would-be boyfriends (“get your act together we could be just fine”).

Now the song is back with a new message. The U.N.’s Project Everyone — a group founded by filmmaker Richard “Love Actually” Curtis — has put out a video with the original recording but a new girl power emphasis. In the video, British girl group M.O, Canadian YouTube star Taylor Hatala, Nigerian-British singer Seyi Shay and Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez lip sync and dance to the song against backdrops with signs calling for “equal pay” and an end to violence against women.

The video is part of the Global Goals campaign, a U.N. initiative to promote the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

The 21st century “Wannabe” is nearing a million views on YouTube, where the accompanying blurb urges viewers to share a photo with a sign stating “what YOU really, really want for girls and women.”

We wanted to know how 21st century girls — none of whom were born when the song first came out — reacted to the video. We also asked what they really, really want for the women of the world.
