Major Argument in "You Don't Own Me ft. G-Eazy" Remake by Grace

Lesley Gore's famous song "You Don't Own Me" can be heard in todays era through a remix by G-Eazy and Grace. The added rap lyrics of G-Eazy conveys a different point of view than the lyrics of Grace still fitting into the theme of women empowerment. The lyrics of the rap explains how one girl seems so superior saying, "All because she got her own dough" and "Never asking for your help, independent woman". The rapper describes how this girl, who he is in love with, can be bold and confident which makes her attractive.  On the other hand, the lyrics of Grace, with the same lyrics and tune as Lesley Gore's song, describe how she can be independent herself without a man controlling every action she makes. While one raps in one perspective of the man in the relationship, the other sings in the perspective of the woman.  The stasis of fact and definition is present in this argument by both sides describing how each feels about the strength of women. The rapper explains that this independent woman exists while the singer describes how she feels about not being a man's possession. By showing the different viewpoints of women's self-reliance, they artist were successfully able to convey the message that women do not need to be dependent on the care of men, similarly to the same argument made in Lesley Gore's original song.
