Pop singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko has come forward with a statement that seems to address Rita Ora’s new song “Girls,” which features Cardi B, Charli XCX, and Bebe Rexha. Throughout the song, the four women use “she/her” pronouns to describe their sexual fantasies, and the chorus features the lyrics: “Sometimes, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls/Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls.”

“There is a new song that came out today featuring a handful of well-known pop artists that has me overwhelmed with thoughts,” Kiyoko writes. After clarifying that she supports artists “who are opening up more and more about their sexual identities,” she claims that "every so often there come certain songs with messaging that is just downright tone-deaf, which does more harm than good for the LGBTQ+ community. A song like ["Girls”] just fuels the male gaze while marginalizing the idea of women loving women.”

Elsewhere in the statement, Kiyoko also addressed the lyrics in the chorus of “Girls.” “I don’t need to drink wine to kiss girls; I’ve loved women my entire life,” she wrote. “This type of message is dangerous because it completely belittles and invalidates the very pure feelings of an entire community.” She concludes, “We can and should do better.” Find the full statement below.

In a previous statement, Rita Ora called the song, “a celebration of love.” In a recent interview with People, Ora also said, “I always looked at this song as a real gender-fluid freedom record” and explained it was inspired by Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.” Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Rita Ora for further comment.

UPDATE (05/11 9:33 p.m. ET): Kehlani has also shared her thoughts on the lyrics in “Girls.” She tweeted Friday afternoon in response to the song, writing, “Hate to be THAT guy but there were many awkward slurs, quotes, and moments that were like ‘word? word.’” In another tweet, she wrote: “Don’t make this personal. i have an incredible song out with one of the artists, and would love to work with the other three as well. & have met them all and respect them. there. were. harmful. lyrics. period.” Find her tweets below.
