She

Jen Foster's song 'She' is a poignant and powerful declaration of love that challenges societal norms and prejudices. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has found true love with another woman, and despite societal pressures and expectations, she stands firm in her feelings. The opening lines, 'I have heard it said so many times: Love is blind / So why are you staring?' immediately set the tone for the song, questioning the hypocrisy of a society that preaches love but judges it when it doesn't fit conventional molds.

The chorus, 'She / Means everything to me / She / Makes me feel nothing else matters / Not even what the world thinks of me,' is a bold statement of the singer's unwavering commitment to her partner. It highlights the transformative power of love, making everything else seem insignificant. This sentiment is further reinforced in the lines, 'They told me when I was a little girl: Love's a pearl / You're lucky if you find it / So share that precious beauty with the world / Now suddenly they say I've got to hide it.' Here, Foster critiques the double standards and contradictions in societal attitudes towards love, especially same-sex love.

The song's bridge, 'It's simple as can be / I love her, she loves me / This is what everybody dreams of / There's nothing to be afraid of, there's nothing to be afraid of, after all it's only love,' encapsulates the essence of the song. It emphasizes that love, in its purest form, is simple and universal, and there should be no fear or shame in expressing it. Foster's heartfelt delivery and the song's emotive lyrics make 'She' a powerful anthem for love and acceptance, resonating deeply with anyone who has ever felt the need to defend their love against societal judgment.
