Why We Rated This for Ages 16–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  The single message of the song is that if you're sexually attractive, most women will long to be like you. "From her head to her feet, like me (Oh yeah)/She's trying to talk like me/trying to walk like me/trying to get all the boys in the club like me." This reinforces the idea that women need to rely on their bodies to gain esteem and are in competition with one another to look the sexiest.
• Violence:

  Not an issue.
• Sex:

  Girlicious is all about selling their sex appeal. The song's video is a set of dance number that mostly consist of pelvic thrusts and hip gyrations, not to mention the girls in the group are dressed in leather bras, hot pants, and garters. Some of the lyrics are explicit such as "If I had a stiff one/You'd be all on that (I'm on fire)."
• Language:

  One instance of mature language, that's repeated several times: "Trying to get on the floor and shake her ass like me."
• Consumerism:

  The group was created by Robin Antin, the same producer who created The Pussycat Dolls. Girlicious is featured on a "reality" TV show about their introduction into the music scene.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
