Girls Like You

“Girls Like You” is a breath of fresh air in a time where movements like “Me Too” have taken over the narrative surrounding women. Maroon 5 is able to capture the message of this movement by emphasizing the power of women. The song itself is not one where I’m desperate to learn the lyrics and sing along, but I more want to sit back and appreciate the message. The song plays second fiddle however to the music video of this song. This video features so many different woman from celebrities like Ellen, to Aly Raisman who is famous for shining a light on doctor Larry Nassar. The downfall of this song is the bridge. It is overly simplified with on all fronts including the lyrics. Overall this song’s message is better than the song but it is a must listen this summer
