Scene Queen releases anti-misogyny anthem 'Pink Rover'

“And if that bastard whistles/Put a knife up to his boner/Cut him.”

Scene Queen said, as quoted at Alternative Press:

“When I wrote this song, I had been living in Hollywood for six years,” Collins says. “Women that live in major cities understand that there’s a certain level of harassment you deal with every single day through catcalling. The amount of times I have had to call friends and pretend I was on the phone with my boyfriend to avoid feeling unsafe or objectified is honestly a traumatizing amount.

“So this song was written to explain the rage I feel toward a society that allows women to be treated that way,” she continues. “When I walked in the studio with my male producers and co-writer, they had already been working on a track idea that involved a knife sound. Ironically, I had just been whistled at getting out of my car to walk into the session. It all clicked.

“And having two guys in the session was honestly the perfect test audience for the lyrics. Something that you know is attacking a very specific audience. If you’re not the target, you can tell I’m not fully serious. I wanted to get the point across but have a sense of humor about it. I think having a sense of humor makes hard topics easier to digest. And of course, in Scene Queen fashion, I had to throw in some pink.”
