This song is primarily about the public/media perception (or rather, misconception) of the type of artist Marina is, and her frustration and consequent rectification of that image, both through this assertive, sassy song and through the artistry of her new album.
“It was definitely born of frustration and feeling misunderstood,” Diamandis says. “That’s not the media’s fault, or certain people’s fault. I definitely facilitated that. is me readjusting to that and being like, ‘You don’t even know what kind of artist I am. You will find out very soon.’” – Marina for Refinery 29
It also has secondary themes, extending her sentiment to the perception of women in general, and thus touching on feminism. The song also implies women’s struggles in dating culture. But the song was motivated by, and born of her frustrations of the widespread misperception of herself as an artist.
In an interview with The Guardian, Marina says:
“It’s about people trying to define who you are. It’s about women, mainly. It’s about what people expect you to be or who they think you are, when actually they have no fucking idea. People don’t know who I am and so as an artist that’s really frustrating because your whole aim is for people to understand what you’re trying to express. Am I feminist though? Fuck, yes. But even with feminism it’s not about being independent the whole time. There’s nothing wrong with being a housewife.”
