Nationwide, students continue to struggle socially and emotionally following the pandemic, and from the isolating and detrimental effects of skyrocketing social media use. The situation has been especially hard on teenage girls, according to mountains of research.
Happily, this spring, global superstar Lizzo announced a new SEL release designed for these young women called “Feeling Good and Well.” And folks, the problem may be solved. Here’s a sneak peek from the queen herself:
Come now, girl, come dry your eyes. You know you a star, you can touch the sky. I know that it’s hard, but you have to try. If you need advice, let me simplify...
If you’re shining, everybody’s going to shine. You were born like this, you don’t even have to try. You’re like chardonnay, you get better over time. If they say you aren’t the best, girl, they’re lying.
You do my hair toss, check your nails—baby, how’re you feeling? You’re feeling good and well.
One more time: You do my hair toss, check your nails—baby, how’re you feeling? You’re feeling good and well.
Yeah, you got problems, that’s the human in you. Bling bling, then you solve them, that’s the goddess in you.
Woo, girl, you need to kick off your shoes. Have to take a deep breath, it’s time to focus on you. All the big fights, long nights that you been through: I got bottle of designer seltzer I’ve saving for you.
Boss up and change your life. You can have it all, no sacrifice.
Now that you’re back up in this building: It’s been a minute, tell me how you’re healing. Because you can get into your feelings. How are you feeling? How do you feel right now? Ohhhh, you’ve been so down and under pressure. You’re way too great to be this stressed, yes! Ohhhh, you’re not the girl you were or used to be. Girl, I know you’re better!
Turn up the music, turn down the lights. I got a feeling that you’re going to be all right. OK. All right.
It’s about dang time!
Turn up the music, let’s celebrate. I got a feeling that you’re going to be OK. OK. All right.
It’s about dang time!
Wow... Special. I’m going to spread this far and wide—cuz I love you. More Lizzobangers, please.
