Believe me when I say that a woman's body (no matter what size) and sensuality should be celebrated but does it make you "grown"? Personally, NO IT DOES NOT. It scares me to know that there are tweens and early teens who believe that being a grown woman or "how to get it like that" is to have a cute face and a booty so phat. To me, a "grown woman" does celebrate her body, sensuality and sexuality but doesn't overly flaunt it and gets thirsty (or conceited). A grown woman who's got it like that not only has beauty but intelligence and diligence. In the song it does sound like she hints towards confidence and being strong but I didn't notice anything else. To me, this song is playing on gender stereotypes, however, I am aware that songs like this is what the public wants.
I like it as a sexy song or a party song and I understand some of what it takes to be a woman but a 12-16 year old may take this song to heart and believe that outward appearance and sexuality is all it takes. I do think that parents have a responsibility here to inform their daughter's about what a "grown woman" does but I believe in personal responsibility too in educating yourself on what real women do or have done, in relation to social/educational/communal/political changes (and things of that nature).
This is my thought but listen to the song and tell me what do you think:
