Shortly after the group’s recent teaser for the music video of “GO” was put out on YouTube, their official channel accidentally published the musical tracks for each song on the new album. Fans noted that Dr. Luke, a producer who has faced serious allegations of sexual assault and rape, was credited in some of the songs.

One of those songs was “Me & My,” which was also leaked on social media a few days ago. With Dr. Luke’s name being in the credits, many revisited the lyrics of the leaked part of the song, expressing disgust at the misogynistic lyrics.

Netizens especially focused on the line, “You know, that’s my girl/ When I call her bitch, it’s a compliment.” Regardless of the song’s context, many took issue with the fact that a slur word like “bitch” was used in the song when none of the writers were women. That, coupled with the overall lyrical tone and Dr. Luke’s involvement in the track, has sparked renewed backlash online.
