Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Not bad; could be seen as song about female strength and confidence, but also entitlement and selfish behavior: "I like it how I like it/I'm just a little bossy/you got a problem with it?" and "...don't tell me no."

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Some innuendo, but nothing explicit: "Stop touching me without permission/Don't disobey, answer to me/Said if you wanna play follow my direction," "I like it how I like it when I like it," and "Please me and I will gladly brighten up your atmosphere."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Just pushing the "Lindsay Lohan" product.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About `Bossy` (CD single)

Parents need to know that this is the first single from the upcoming album of Hollywood sometimes-trouble-girl Lindsay Lohan. The lyrics and content are fine, although a bit suggestive with minor sexual innuendo.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the "product" of Lindsay Lohan and the ups and downs of her career over the last few years. Do you think her misfortune is a result of her age and immaturity, her life in the spotlight, or both? What do you think about the new image Lindsay is trying to portray as a sexy siren? Do you think she is trying to turn her life around with this new album? Do you think fans will still be interested in her even after her string of bad choices?
