This video is of a song called ‘Fuck You’ by Lily Allen. This song originally appeared on her myspace page in 2008 alongside a few of her other songs, such as ‘I don’t know’ and ‘I could say’ making them easily accessible to her fan base. The song is an anti George Bush protest, however Lily herself said that this song ‘is relevant everywhere now so has removed a particular target’ from its origin. This song made its chart debut in the Canadian Top 100 entering at number 37. The video has had a lot of airplay on music channels and online even though it was debuted on the UK Charts before it was even released here.
The video itself is of Lily’s point of view. It shows her in a relationship and not to be to happy with it, just getting by. This song I'm sure is easy for many people to relate to young and older which is why Lily's fan base is so wide. In the song she is seen to have realised she can do better than the dead end relationship she is in and she starts to turn bitter, for example not turning the heating on so her boyfriend is cold when he wakes up, this is shown clearly by her looking disgracefully at him. At the beginning of the song, she says 'look inside your tiny mind' this isn't just an insult to her boyfriends intelligence it is meant to appeal to the audience too, to make them see they can do better than this and that they need to stop being narrow minded and stand up for themselves. At this point of the video we are looking through Lily's eye's and we are seeing a set for a video to take place, it is in black and white to signify to inability humans have to see anything and is slightly distorted giving the idea we see what we want to more than what is there.
The deep meanings to Lily Allen's songs come across in all of her music even though it is very light hearted and upbeat, this is to attract the young audience as well so she can create a better generation; she has often been found to be saying she just wants fairness for all ages and the only way to do this is by making me understand and see what is really happening.
There is one point in the song where she is slouching on her bed eating a bar of chocolate which stereotypically is teenage behaviour all over, this is what she is trying to show. She also uses the term 'crew' to explain people making her hip. during this zoom into her eating the chocolate she looks very bored and fed up with the situation she is in and this is the same time she is swearing in the song, showing teenagers relaxed attitude to bad language and that it is a normal thing.
Towards the end Lily seems to be getting together with a man showing her fans it can work out but you have to stand your ground and be heard. This video is all in black and white making it look reflective which works well for the lyrics. I like this video a lot as this is her perspective on the world and it is shown very clearly indeed.
