Demi Lovato has released a new protest anthem called “Swine.”
This new song is her way of using her voice to help protect reproductive rights, nearly a year after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022.
“It’s been one year since the Supreme Court’s decision to dismantle the constitutional right to safe abortion, and although the road ahead will be challenging, we must continue to stand united in our fight for reproductive justice,” wrote Lovato in the caption of an Instagram video of the song. “I created ‘SWINE’ to amplify the voices of those advocating for choice and bodily autonomy. I want this song to empower not only birthing people in this country but everyone who stands for equality, to embrace their agency and fight for a world where everyone’s right to make decisions about their own bodies is respected.”
“God forbid I wanna suck whatever the f-ck I wanna/ God forbid I wanna f-ck whoever the fuck I want/ And if he cums, I guess I better be a mother,” she sings in the introduction.
