Le Butcherettes don’t mince words. The themes of family and emotional strife are woven into the song.
Teri Gender Bender performs at her most explosive with her raging falsettos and wild movements. She wears a Chichimeccan warrior outfit to honor her grandmother in the accompanying music video. The video is directed by the duo Noun.
