The song includes a section of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists”, in which she talks about the differences in the social structure of a woman's and a man's life. While men are taught they can do or be anything, women must make choices in life “always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important”.

While women have gained rights over the last century that has made them more equal to men, invisible restrains in both the workplace and in everyday life still limit women from reaching complete equality.…

In turn, the difference in love is basically a battle between the sexes for who has the better type of love. As John Donne writes in Sonnet 18, "let mine amorous soul court thy mild dove" (Donne line 12).…
