Just weeks after the internet dragged her for her cover of Bette Davis Eyes, 22-year-old JoJo Siwa is back with a new track titled Raspy. This time, instead of running from the headlines, shes leaning into them. The song is a chaotic, self-aware response to her critics, her past, and the viral soundbites that have kept her name in everyones mouths.Eyes like Bette DavisThe track opens with a nod to the recent backlash, singing: Eyes like Bette Davis / Hear my voice and you know what my name is. Its a bold movestarting a song with the very controversy that had fans divided just days agobut thats the point. From there, she dives into her origin story: Wise beyond my age / Thats what happens when youre little and youre put on the stage. Its a clear reference to her time on Dance Moms, where she got her start under the eye (and wrath) of Abby Lee Millerwho even makes a cameo in the track via soundbite. JoJo, have you learned nothing? echoes Millers voice.A Self-Drag for the Digital AgeBut Raspy isnt just a reflection on her pastits a full-on internet spiral set to music. JoJo pokes fun at her own viral moments, including her infamous dream guest on my podcast clip that sparked endless memes. However, one of the most buzzed about lyric has to be: Dont hate me, Im just a little baby / Slim Shady, but a lady. Well let you make your own opinions on that one. The song continues with references to her Masked Singer appearance (Cause I couldnt make The Voice), her cover of Olivia Rodrigos Traitor, and more moments pulled straight from her public rollercoaster of a career.New Era, New BacklashWhile some fans are applauding her unapologetic, meta approach, others are calling out Raspy for sounding a little too similar to Mad Tsais Bite. Tsai has even commented on the comparison via Instagram story, but Siwa has yet to respond.Regardless, JoJos latest release is pure pop spectacle: messy, self-aware, and ready to start another round of discourse. Love her or hate her, shes steering the conversationand that might be the raspiest flex of all.Source
