A música homônima ao terceiro álbum da cantora Lily Allen acaba de ganhar um clipe. ‘Sheezus’ é uma faixa provocativa. Outras cantoras pop como Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga e Lorde foram referências para a música. “Lorde smells blood, yeah, she’s about to slay you / Kid ain’t one to fuck with when she’s only on her debut.”

Lily Allen falou em entrevista à Rolling Stone sobre a letra da canção:
I would have liked to see “Sheezus” as a single, but it’s not up-tempo enough. It’s also got the word “period” in it, which is really offensive to people, even though half the world has to deal with it once a month. … I think that “period” is going to be my “surfboard” with Beyoncé. People will wear sweatshirts to my concerts that are just going to say “period.”
I don’t like being compared to other people because I’m quite aware that there are people who are far more talented and have better singing voices than me. I don’t like being put in the same category as people because we have the same genitals and boobs. Nobody is going to write “Lily Allen vs. Ed Sheeran.” It just doesn’t happen. … It feels like the reason we play women against each other is because it’s the last bit of power that men have. They’re like, “Let’s make them feel shit about each other”.
