“It was one of the last songs I wrote for the album,” the star previously told Billboard of the track, which appears on her recent LP Takin’ it Back. “I knew I needed my self-confident banger that I always do on my albums, and I was really studying “All About That Bass.
” I was like, “Why did this work so well?” I think everyone just loves to sing along to a song that’s like, “I am awesome, I am the sh-t, I am hot.” Especially after having a baby, I was already struggling to love my body. I was covered in a C-section scar crossing over all my stretch marks and I was really struggling to like myself, but also like myself in front of my own husband.

I could have my Gucci on
I could wear my Louis Vuitton
But even with nothin’ on
Bet I made you look (I made you look)
I’ll make you double take soon as I walk away
Call up your chiropractor just in case your neck break
Ooh, tell me what you, what you, what you gon’ do, ooh
‘Cause I’m ’bout to make a scene, double up that sunscreen
I’m ’bout to turn the heat up, gonna make your glasses steam
Ooh, tell me what you, what you, what you gon’ do, ooh
When I do my walk, walk (oh)
I can guarantee your jaw will drop, drop (oh)
‘Cause they don’t make a lot of what I got, got (ah, ah)
Ladies if you feel me, this your bop, bop (bop-bop-bop)
I could have my Gucci on (Gucci on)
I could wear my Louis Vuitton
But even with nothin’ on
Bet I made you look (I made you look)
Yeah, I look good in my Versace dress (take it off)
But I’m hotter when my morning hair’s a mess
‘Cause even with my hoodie on
Bet I made you look (I made you look)
Mhm-hm-hm
And once you get a taste (woo), you’ll never be the same
This ain’t that ordinary, this that 14 karat cake
Ooh, tell me what you, what you, what you gon’ do, ooh (what you gon’ do, ooh, ooh)
When I do my walk, walk (oh)
I can guarantee your jaw will drop, drop (oh) (I guarantee your jaw will drop, drop)
‘Cause they don’t make a lot of what I got, got (ah, ah)
Ladies if you feel me, this your bop, bop (bop-bop-bop)
Oh, I could have my Gucci on (Gucci on)
I could wear my Louis Vuitton
But even with nothin’ on
Bet I made you look (said, I made you look)
Yeah, I look good in my Versace dress (take it off, baby)
But I’m hotter when my morning hair’s a mess
‘Cause even with my hoodie on
Bet I made you look (said, I made you look)

Feeling good about how you look
There can be a lot of pressure to look a certain way and fit in with everyone else. Sometimes you can be hurt or affected by what others think and say.
You might be feeling unhappy about your hair, skin colour or your weight or embarrassed about wearing glasses or braces. It can be hard to accept how you look if you feel pressure to have "perfect" skin or a certain type of body shape.
Your confidence can improve by not comparing yourself to people you see in films, music videos and magazines. Remember that these images aren't real and no one is perfect.
Sometimes other people can bully you, comment on how you look or treat you unfairly. You could be told what to wear or someone could try to make you look more like them.
No one should make you feel bad about yourself. In healthy relationships other people will accept you as you are.
5 things to help you feel better
- Everyone's different so don't compare yourself to other people.
- Ignore any negative or mean comments from other people.
- Write down 3 things you like about yourself and read it every morning.
- Share your thoughts with other young people on our message boards and read their comments.
- Focus on hobbies you enjoy or things you are good at - this can help build your confidence.
Bullying about how you look
It can be really hard if you're bullied because of the way you look. Being called names or being treated badly because of your appearance, race, culture or sexuality is wrong.
Being bullied or discriminated against can make you want to change things about yourself. Racial bullying might make you want to wear make up to change your skin tone. You might want to be older, taller, shorter, straight or able-bodied to try to stop being bullied.
Remember, you don't have to change anything about yourself to fit in. Getting support so that the bullying can stop can help you to feel okay about yourself.
You could:
- talk to someone you trust, like a parent or teacher about what's happening
- talk to a counsellor for support
- get support from other people on our message boards.
Being bullied can make you feel like things can never get better, but we've got a tool to help.
they say stuff about my
body shape
Being bullied? Get support.
YOUR IDENTITY
Your identity is made of lots of things. It includes your race, ethnicity, gender, disability, how you look, your strengths and weaknesses and your likes and dislikes. All of these together make up who you are and how others see you. Your identity makes you distinct from every other person.
Being connected with other people because of characteristics like your skin colour, where you were born and your gender is also part of your identity. You might belong to a faith or religion or a group based on politics, music or the clothes you wear. It's okay to connect with people who are different from you as well and it doesn't stop you being unique.
Sometimes people make generalisations and assumptions based on your characteristics or the groups you belong to. This is called stereotyping and it can be type of discrimination. If you are being treated differently for who you are you can get advice about discrimination.
Remember that you are individual and unique. Getting to know yourself and accepting who you are can help you to feel safe in the world and less threatened by others.
Be yourself
- Think about what's important to you and what feels right for you. If you always try to copy other people or change for them, it can be hard to be yourself and feel comfortable.
- It takes time, but often you'll feel happier if you accept things about yourself. Accepting yourself means noticing things you are happy and unhappy about and seeing that they are all part of what makes you unique.
- Find out about being assertive so you can say exactly how you feel if someone is pressuring you.
- Take a break from people who put you down. You could delete anyone who makes negative comments about you on social media, and walk away from people who say unhelpful things about you.
It can be hard to talk when you’re being judged on your race, religion or culture. But we're here to support you.

Things to remember
- No one should treat you badly for your appearance.
You have the right to be treated with respect. - How you look is a part of who you are. Your personality, achievements and how you behave are important too.
- Images on televsion, adverts, magazines and online are often altered and airbrushed so they aren’t always real
- Comparing yourself to others can make you feel jealous and upset. You can boost your confidence by writing down things you like about yourself.
- It can help to talk about how you feel. You could talk to a Childline Counsellor or get support from other young people on our message boards.
Keep track of how you're feeling and why, it's a great way to let your feelings out.
Sometimes it helps to get your feelings down into words or art.

Journalists from The Wall Street Journal enlisted the help of IT specialists and an army of bots to figure out exactly how the algorithm of the TikTok social network works.
The experiment showed that it is enough for the service neural network to track just one indicator in order to know what the user wants and what should be shown to him on the screen so that he does not want to exit the application.

TikTok, a short video service launched in China in 2016, has become almost the world's premier social network in five years. Last week it surpassed 3 billion downloads on the App Store and Google Play, second only to Facebook services. Last year it became the most downloaded mobile app in history, and now it is actively used by more than 800 million people around the world.
TikTok is an endless stream of short videos that are offered to the user by the service's algorithm. For a long time, the developer of the ByteDance application kept all the details of the operation of his algorithm secret, until in the middle of last year he revealed some general information: the company's neural network selects content for the user based on the information that he discloses about himself in the application, as well as on the basis of his likes, shares, subscriptions and comments under the video.
True, all this is relevant for any other social network where there is a recommendation mechanism, so ByteDance did not disclose anything personal. That is why the journalists of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) conducted their own investigation to find out what exactly is behind the overwhelming success of the Chinese service and how it manages not only to attract new users, but also to retain an audience of all ages.
To do this, a team of journalists created over a hundred TikTok bot accounts that "viewed" hundreds of thousands of videos. In addition, the newspaper contacted current and former TikTok executives.
And, contrary to the company's stories about likes, shares and comments, the journalists found that the TikTok algorithm is important and needs only one criterion to understand the user, namely, the time that he spends watching each video.
When creating bot accounts, the journalists of the publication assigned certain areas of interest to each of them, but did not mention them in the TikTok application when filling out the questionnaire.
Only the account name, age and geolocation. And in order to check how the service algorithm actually works, they banned bots from leaving “likes” under videos or reposting them. No reactions or subscriptions to channels - only viewing. At the same time, the bot could view videos that were “interesting” to it two or more times, as well as pause them. Thus, the newspaper weeded out those criteria that were mentioned by ByteDance itself as defining the algorithm.
For each new TikTok user created by the WSJ, the initial selection of videos looked much the same: they were the most popular videos on the service, selected by the TikTok admin team. The average number of views for such videos is 6.3 million. But the more views a user (in this case, a bot) makes, the more videos he gets with a small number of views, but more suitable for his area of interest.
And to fully understand what exactly the user wants, the algorithm took less than two hours.
In some cases, the TikTok algorithm was able to unravel the desires of the bot even in the first 40 minutes of using the application.
"TikTok's algorithm is much more powerful and can learn your weaknesses much faster" than its competitors in the market, according to Guillaume Chazlot, a former Google engineer who worked on algorithms for YouTube. “On YouTube, 70% of what people watch is recommendations from the algorithm. This is already a lot. But on TikTok, everything is much worse: here, probably, 90-95% of what the user sees is offered to him by the algorithm,” says Mr. Shazlo.
During the experiment, it turned out that TikTok artificial intelligence, which is responsible for selecting videos for users, always starts showing a person (in this case, a bot) videos on general topics first, trying to understand what exactly is more suitable for a particular user. These are, for example, dancing to music, animals, nature or some kind of challenges. One of the WSJ bots was programmed to be interested in sad and depression videos. And he got the first such video already in the third minute of using TikTok.
The bot stopped at this video and watched it twice, thereby letting the algorithm know that this topic is interesting.
The algorithm itself is guided in its database by hashtags, channel authors, music tracks and text descriptions for videos.
After another 23 videos - it took only four minutes - the algorithm gave the bot a second video on a sad topic. At the same time, the algorithm continues to insert popular videos on other topics between them, as well as videos from other users from the same region as a particular bot. But a couple of dozen videos later, the algorithm produced another sad video about a breakup.
After watching 80 videos and 15 minutes of using the application, the user is invited to watch videos on related topics - about friendship, relationships and love. But the bot starts marking them as uninteresting. He is only interested in videos about failed relationships, breakups, emotional trauma and psychological disorders. And TikTok gives it to him.
Just half an hour after starting to use the app, the bot’s feed begins to turn into an endless stream of depressive videos — after 278 watched videos, the share of depressive videos reached 93%.
A spokeswoman for the service assured the WSJ that the remaining 7% are videos on other topics, which should help the user not only find other interesting topics, but also not get too deep in the rabbit hole. But the experiment showed a completely different picture. For the depressed bot, the remaining 7% were advertisements.
At the same time, the company noted that the experiment cannot reflect the real state of affairs, since people, unlike WSJ bots, usually have several areas of interest. But the newspaper was also armed with such bots - all of them were dragged into an endless stream of the same type of videos, most accurately meeting the specific needs of the user. At the same time, in many cases, the algorithm turned bots with fairly general and popular areas of interest into niche content.
“What we are seeing here is very similar to how the YouTube algorithm works. The algorithm learns that depression can be used as an engagement tool and starts promoting it,” says Mr. Shazlo. “The algorithm ends up giving the user more and more extreme content to get the person to spend more and more time in the app.” For example, those interested in politics ended up being shown videos about conspiracy theories, while those interested in relationships were shown videos about suicide or leaving the family. TikTok administrators simply do not physically have time to watch these videos, relying on the fact that one of the users will track them and mark them as content that violates the rules of the application.
“Be it YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, we interact with algorithms everywhere… We train them and they train us. So we must learn to understand their work better and not let them get to the point of harming our society or certain groups of people,” summed up Mr. Shazlo.

What do you watch on TV?
HOPE
HR manager
— I have a Smart TV and most of the time I spend at the blue screen is spent using this feature.
As for watching TV shows, I started to wean from this business already at school, from the seventh grade. Today I can hardly name a couple of TV shows that I watch all the time. I guess I like to choose channels more than specific TV shows. So, Euronews, TV 1000, and “TNTshnye” serials I look, what is already there. By the way, yesterday, quite by accident, I stumbled upon the program "Reporter" on the channel "Belarus-2". They talked about how stowaways twist the fingers of controllers, who and why turns to fortune-tellers in Belarus, they showed a photo of Solodukha lying in a bath - in general, complete trash. NTV with its "scandals, intrigues and investigations" nervously smokes on the sidelines. So I will no longer turn on the Reporter program.
I won't say that there is absolutely nothing to watch on TV today. Many TV channels have appeared, showing good and relatively new films, which was not the case ten years ago.
NATALYA
leading specialist
— I almost never watch TV purposefully.
It is more of a background while I'm getting ready for work or doing something around the house. And TNT does an excellent job with the task of the background: Comedy and something in the style of Univer or Interns. I don’t watch TV shows and programs, except for “Dances” and KVN. I love to stumble across a good movie. I follow the news, but I try not to watch it on TV: there is too much negativity in the video reports - more than if I had read the article. If there was no TV (and I have such experience), I would have done just fine without it, including music in the background. And in your free time it is better to read a book.
IRINA
happy wife
— I rarely watch TV. Mostly movies or series that my parents watch at this time. Probably, this is a desire to return the tradition from childhood, when the whole family sat in front of the TV in the evening. I do not include news in principle.
Recently, all of them are fed through the prism of the country from whose territory the channel broadcasts.
KSENIYA
craftsman
— I don't watch TV. I don't even have it. Everything that is interesting to me, I include on the computer in the records. These are mainly films, foreign series and several programs, most often about travel. I watch almost all the programs of the Russian channel Pyatnitsa, but on their website. My favorite is Eagle and Tails. Sometimes I turn on KVN, "Evening Urgant", "PPKh", and before that I watched "Dinner Party".
DMITRY
deputy construction director
— Watching TV is rare for me. Due to work, it is rarely possible to find out what TV people can pamper Belarusians with. In the morning I like to turn on the TV as a backdrop while I get ready for work, and the numerous morning shows really lift my spirits.
In addition, you can find out about traffic jams in the city and the weather for the day in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. In the evening after work, sometimes I turn on music channels and relax with good music. In general, I advise everyone to watch TV as little as possible and spend their free time with friends more often.
IRINA
kizomba dance instructor
— I haven’t watched TV for five years now. Completely abandoned the news and all sorts of talk shows. I watch Comedy, movies and some series online from my laptop. Oh yes, also the show "Dancing" on TNT. And yes, I met the New Year with a TV under the Blue Light. But this is because she celebrated it with her parents. If I were at home or somewhere else, I would definitely not watch TV.
ALEXANDER
Sales Specialist
— Mostly economic news and reviews, in particular the RBC channel.
And so I try not to watch television, because for me it’s better to look for information myself than to receive it in this way. I am a political scientist by education, so I know how this kitchen works. Dosing of information, formation of accents, limitation in uncomfortable topics... Watching TV channels from different countries, you can get opposite information on the same topics. This is an element of political technologies. Therefore, it is better to watch reviews and channels like Discovery rather than state television.
IRINA
pediatrician, coordinator of the petting zoo "Sirin"
- I don't have a TV - more precisely, it is not connected. Well, I don't see anything on it. We have had such a relationship with television for five years already: I sit in front of the screen, perhaps by chance, when I stop by to visit someone. Usually there is not enough time for TV: two jobs, a child, household chores, animals.
