Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–17

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Yes, Fergie doesn't need a man to make her complete, but she does need a Gucci bag -- and a lot more accessories to feel good ("All I know is that I'm happy when I walk out the store").

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Fergie's shopping for labels -- not love.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    This song is all about retail therapy and buying brand names. Fergie is into bling and haute couture. Many brand names mentioned: clothes, shoes, bags, cars.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

Families Can Talk About
