With the publication of The Tortured Poets Departmentthe latest album by Taylor Swift, thousands of other theories have been opened around his far-fetched compositions, which always hide some dart towards something or someone. The American is an artist who doesn’t hit the spot, but that’s what music is about, making your joys and sorrows into songs that other people can enjoy or identify with.
In this sense, Taylor has inspired us a lot with each of her new songs, but we have realized that she She’s not the only one talking about a certain Amy, in her case Aimee (although it is pronounced the same), and which hides a completely different meaning than it may seem at first. Before her, other performers such as Britney Spears or Green Day, among others, also did it.
Three songs that you may know and that hide something more behind Amy’s name
In Taylor Swift’s song titled thanK you aIMee, The capital letters do not appear randomly, but rather in them.and hides the name of kim kardashian. Yes, this song goes directly to her and the singer’s long feud with this celebrity’s husband, Kanye West. From Kim’s obsession with being tan to mentioning the TikTok in which her daughter appears dancing to a Taylor song. The blonde doesn’t leave a single one.
As we have said, Britney also hid another meaning well under the name Amy. If U Seek Amy It means “if you’re looking for Amy,” and that’s precisely what the story of this composition tells. The lyrics are based on the search for a woman named Amy in a nightclub. Up to that point it’s as normal as a Spears song could be, but the convoluted part comes when you know a little English and understand the phonemes in the song’s title. These can be confused with the spelling of the verb “fuck”, so putting that spelling together with the end of Amy’s name creates “FUCK Me.” A full-fledged declaration of intentions, once again under the name of this mysterious girl.
We have seen that in pop it seems normal, but in rock they are not free from it either. Everyone uses Amy, even the American band green Day. In this sense, Billie Joe Armstrong, the vocalist, sings about someone named Amy and her struggle with addiction. On this occasion it might seem that this name hides nothing, but the reality is that Amy is the broadest representation of the fight against addictions. Thus we see that this three-letter name is not a person, but is a symbol that unites all the people who fight against this problem every day.
