Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Beneath the fluff is some strong-willed female power: "Show me respect or I will show you the door."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    The lyrics aren't really violent, just a wee angry: "You tell me one more time how I should live/I swear I'll bite your head off."
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    She says "shut up" once.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About `Outta My Head` (CD single)

Parents need to know that there's nothing really bad about this song except for a bit of attitude by someone who is tired of people telling her what to do. She says "shut up" once, but that's the most insulting thing in the single.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the need for artists to constantly reinvent themselves. Ashlee Simpson used to be more of a rocker. Does her new pop sound have anything to do with her sister Jessica or boyfriend Pete Wentz? Why do you think singers try to change their images all the time?
