The soundtrack to the highly anticipated movie "Mean Girls" has dropped, featuring a collaboration between Reneé Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion. Titled "It's Not My Fault," the track is a bold and unapologetic anthem that explores themes of confidence, empowerment, and unbridled self-expression. However, as we dive into the lyrics and composition, it becomes evident that the song has both strengths and weaknesses.
The lyrics of "It's Not My Fault" are undeniably assertive and self-assured, capturing the essence of the Mean Girls theme. The verses, delivered with swagger by Megan Thee Stallion, boast a blend of confidence and defiance. Lines like "Excuse me while I bite my tongue" and "I'm back on the same shit from before, I can't take this pettiness, now I'm bored" showcase an unapologetic attitude that fits the rebellious vibe of the movie.
However, the repetitive nature of the chorus might leave some listeners craving more depth. The constant refrain of "It's not my fault" can become monotonous after a while, making the song feel somewhat one-dimensional. A more varied and nuanced chorus could have added layers to the narrative and elevated the overall listening experience.
Reneé Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion's collaboration brings together two artists with distinct styles. Rapp's vocal delivery complements the brash and bold personality of Megan Thee Stallion, creating an interesting dynamic. The switch in perspectives between the two artists adds a layer of complexity to the song, emphasizing the theme of female empowerment.
Megan Thee Stallion's rap verse injects energy into the track, showcasing her trademark flow and wordplay. However, the explicit content of the lyrics might not resonate with all listeners, potentially limiting the song's appeal to a specific audience.
The production of "It's Not My Fault" is a commendable mix of contemporary pop and hip-hop elements. The beats are infectious, driving the song forward with a palpable energy. The use of catchy melodies and a danceable rhythm aligns with the film's high school setting, making it a fitting addition to the Mean Girls soundtrack.

You know what?
It's not my fault you're like in love with me or something

And it wouldn't be me if I ain't cause commotion (bruh)
Bitch so bad dudes thought I was A.I

Stick to the mother fucking money like a stapler
Stack like Jenga
Any pussy bitch get stroke like a painter
It's funny how the mean girl open all the doors
I've been told y'all I'm the black Regina George
Bikini top, booty shorts, Megan core
You was hating back then, now you finna hate more
I've got influence, they do anything I endorse
I run shit, to be a bad bitch is a sport
'Cause I woke up hotter than I was yesterday
Don't care about no rules 'cause I always get my way
It's not my fault
You came with her, but she might leave with me
It's not my fault
You gotta pay for what I get for free
It's not my fault
You're like, you're like, you're like in love with me
It's not my fault you're like in love with me
You're like in love with me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I woke up hotter than I was yesterday
Don't care 'bout no rules 'cause I always get my way
I woke up hotter than I was yesterday
It's not my fault you're like in love with me
You're like in love with me
