I Fell In Love On The Internet

Miss World “Click and Yr Mine”

“Click and Yr Mine” has a lusty, sassy sound to it that makes it sound like a sort of love song, but listen a bit closer – this woman is literally singing about shopping for clothes online. I think a songwriter from a previous generation would’ve made this some kind of withering critique of capitalism, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here at all. The subversive element here is in upending the expectations of a crush song, and not only removing the guy as the object of lust, but dismissing men altogether: “I don’t need no boys telling me what is wrong in my life!” It’s not a mean-spirited song, though. It’s just someone allowing themselves to prioritize their enthusiasms.
