According to the lyrics of the song, it does not concern anyone what a woman should do or not.
“What can I do? The answer is: still not concern you,” Celeste sang.
After the song, Celeste explained that her stage was built in “times on quarantine”. She is still trying to make it better, and she explained that she is trying to improve the lighting on her stage.
She went ahead to sing a cover from the song “Take a little piece of my heart”, by Janes Joplin. According to its lyrics, the song shows how strong a woman can be.
“But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough”, Joplin wrote.
