Parents need to know

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 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?

Message

Social Behavior:

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."

Consumerism:

Just pushing the "Lindsay Lohan" product.

Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:

Violence

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."

What's the story?

Reviewed by Jessica Dawson

BOSSY, the seductive – yet not too seductive for tweens – and compelling new dance track song from Lindsay Lohan?s as-yet-untitled third studio album and has generated lots of buzz from fans. It's a fun, synth-heavy upbeat tune produced by R&B hitmaker Ne-Yo (Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion)

Is it any good?

Actress and musical artist Lindsay Lohan is paving the way for a crucial mass-media re-entry over the next several months. LiLo has definitely had her troubles as of late, but you can't help but root for the doe-eyed, freckle-faced talent who came into the hot spotlight with her breakout role in The Parent Trap in 1999. Lindsay has made some bad choices, but there's no denying her pop talent.

"Bossy," the lead single from her upcoming album to be released later this year, may just be her ticket back into the spotlight...for something positive. It's fun and keeps a contagious beat with singable lyrics to get you shakin' on the dance floor.
