"I want to be.me..is that not allowed"

It's on my playlist too .

kittylester Wed 12-Mar-25 07:44:54

I love it.

Allsorts Wed 12-Mar-25 07:57:58

Well…. Its not on mine😁 I have always been me.

Brilliant Tiktok song.

Many people say it's about her parents and her being ADHD. She does say it's about close family relationships.

I'm not understanding why this is saying something we should have said 50 years ago.

I was very comfortable with who I am and was back then.

So I love the song but it doesn't resonate with me. Just a good tune to me.

Shame about the ' F' word .

No, I can't relate to any of that. I've always been myself.

The swearing doesn't bother me but I wouldn't say the singer has much talent at all.

My song is, and always will be, “I am what I am” smile

A favourite of mine is "I am Woman (hear me roar) by Helen Reddy.

I dont think I was allowed to be me. I was being raised to "be a lady" but now I am just a human and I think thats just dandy.

I have never been allowed to be me by lots of people in my life both past and present. I’m not keen on the OP’s choice of song but we are all different.

Absolutely detest this song. I'm in Germany and hear it a lot on the radio here, probably because young Germans think using the f-word is really cool. It seems like it's a great way to make a song popular without it having any merit whatsoever.

Too angry for me. Why do we have to be showered with so much anger everywhere. Life is difficult enough

BlueBelle Thu 13-Mar-25 15:53:56

Never heard of her, but don’t like the song, and not keen on how she looks, up to her, but just saying

NannaFirework Thu 13-Mar-25 16:59:14

She’s flipping marvellous!
Love her lyrics and can’t get ‘Messy’ out of my head 😍❤️

I am glad that someone - through no fault of her own - is suffering with schizophrenia, and has found a way to express her feelings and her mind to the rest of us, even thow the choice of descriptive vocabulary is not following societal norms or rules and might not be relatable to some.

I am offended by swearing. Neither my late husband nor myself ever swore. I don't care what others say about being odd if offended y swearing.
