The official video for JJ Wilde's single "Best Boy" from the new EP WILDE: [ Ссылка ]

For me, this song is about trying to change the narrative that society has accepted about women. It is clear, especially in the music industry that women are viewed more like objects a lot of the time rather than actual humans — seen not heard type of thing. Well I want that to change - what women “should and shouldn’t do”, what society deems acceptable, what women are shamed for. All of the above. We are beautiful creatures. And I don’t think we should feel ashamed to express that. This song is taking a stab at what men have always been free to talk about in songs — doing whatever they want with whoever they want — but from a woman’s perspective.

This music video for “Best Boy" was so empowering to film. I wanted all kinds of different people expressing themselves and being free when they heard the song, and try to capture that feeling. For me, it was really special. The night before we shot, I had cold feet, thinking “what if I over sexualize myself, what if people don’t take me seriously?" All of those thoughts crossed my mind. Then when we started shooting, I felt so empowered, I was having so much fun, and never felt ashamed of what I was doing. And that feeling is exactly what I want people — especially women — to feel when they watch it. There is no reason for me to have had that self doubt go through my mind, but it did. And that is what I want to change. No one should feel ashamed of self expression.

Lyrics:
Feels so good going down in flames
Darlin’ take it all leave no remains
Love is a drug and I’m all fucked up again
Every night unfamiliar places
Stranger in my bed keep changing faces
Love is a drug and I’m all fucked up again

You say I got a problem with my heart
Let me buy you a drink at the hotel bar
I’ll let you drive my car

This is my game, if you want to play
You can be my toy, you can be my best boy
I don’t even care, if you play it fair
You can be my toy, you can be my best boy

Run with me, I’ll set you free
Chasing every high in the city streets
Love is a drug and I can’t feel my face
I can live real fast while I’m still young
Finding new ways to come undone
Love is a drug and I’m all fucked up again

You say I got a problem with my heart
I’ll pick you up at the hotel bar
Back seat of my car

This is my game, if you want to play
You can be my toy, you can be my best boy
I don’t even care, if you play it fair
You can be my toy, you can be my best boy

Now don’t you see I’m runnin’ free
I know what you want and I got what you need
Yeah don’t you see I’m runnin’ free
Loving tastes so good you’ll drop down to your knees

This is my game, if you want to play
You can be my toy, you can be my best boy
I don’t even care, if you play it fair
You can be my toy, you can be my best boy

Be my best boy
