Purity is something we need to embody and we decide what that means to us, it doesn’t really matter if I’ve been gangbanged (I’m not saying I have I’m not saying I haven’t) I don’t think that means I’m less of a pure person. What do you want listeners to take away from your song “Purity” and implement in their own life?ĭefinitely, that purity does not equal the words of others. As I make more videos and music I hope people are watching the videos and are like oh my gosh lilyisthatyou?
#HARLEY QUINN IM SO LONELY SONG DRIVER#
With “Purity” I was the bad bitch cheerleader, I wanna do a goth one, I wanna do one where I’m a Formula 1 race car driver and I want to encourage my audience to be whoever they want and play a million different characters in their own life.
Recently I’ve come into the name a lot more, at first I didn’t like it but now I’m seeing it as a way to play a bunch of different characters in my artistry. Why did you choose the name “lilyisthatyou”? Below we chat about her Harley Quinn-inspired music video for “Purity”, which Euphoria character she would be, and why she believes the saying everything in “Moderation.” March 8th is International Women’s Day and Lilyisthatyou is the perfect artist to shine a spotlight on spilling truths about confidence, originality, and vulnerability. It’s not until you reach adulthood and start to grow up that you can begin to unpack how the pop culture of your generation has deeply affected your beliefs about physical appearance, sex, relationships, and so on. “I wish that at 15 I had song like “Purity,” I would probably not be in therapy right now,” Lily says to me before laughing and that sentiment has stuck with me since. Over 33 million streams of “FMRN” later, it’s safe to say Lily’s tell-all vulnerability resonates with her audience-impressionable young girls in need of more authentic role models. She brazenly reminds listeners the words of others don’t define you and there’s no shame in owning your sexuality. Her song “Purity” tackles the longstanding belief that for women, purity and virginity should go hand in hand. But speaking to Lily it’s obvious nothing she says is censored or scripted, it’s simply her. In today’s world, the words female empowerment can often sound like a gimmick peddled by corporate marketing teams in an effort to remain relevant and avoid the wrath of cancel culture. Despite the R-rated subject matter her songs explore, the sound is always upbeat fusing pop with dance beats and the headstrong spirit of punk. Since then she’s signed with Warner Records US and released more avant-garde songs like “ Purity” and her most recent being “ Moderation”. Lily tells me she intuitively knew something had changed the night her TikTok went viral and she wasn’t wrong. The explicit lyrics and virality are not the characteristics of a one-hit-wonder but rather the personality of a star in the making who’s filling a much-needed gap for brutally honest Gen Z pop stars. “Can you come fuck me right now?” sings Lilyisthatyou on the chorus of her hit song “ FMRN” which amassed over a million views in 24 hours before it was promptly removed by TikTok for “violating community guidelines”.
