She acts! She sings! She can do anything!

Danielle Brooks: "So, I wrote this with two of my friends and one of them asked me if I could talk about anything I wanted to without a filter, what would that be? And, for me, it was the experience of being a black woman. I decided to write this song, without any filters, of my journey as a black woman in America. "

DB: "I want black women to feel empowered by this song; I want them to feel on top of the world. I want them – when they're home, and they just had the worst day of their life, or just had the best day of their life – to play this song and feel like they could take over the world."
