The bold and political single by British rapper Little Simz, through which she delves into her British-Nigerian roots, shows her internal turmoil, where she ensures that she never shies away from her poetic vulnerability, shedding light on the issues that affect her most and that she is interested in sharing.

The song is a triumphant war cry with an unwavering message: with unity comes strength, and with strength comes war. Little Simz fights to address the political corruption and prejudice that a black woman faces in times of crisis around the world.
Through this song, what Little Simz wants is for listeners to reflect through the light she sheds on social injustices. She also talks about how, with music in general, she tells the truth about it and how people can take away from each song what they want.

The video, which has the Natural History Museum in London as its main space, offers us a succession of cinematographic shots, perfectly choreographed groups, street videos of current and past protests, and images of paintings that seek to unite poetry, history and politics, making visually striking social criticism.
