Theme & Lyrics ✍

“You played me; you even gave him head.” Well, Holy Fuck (not the band)! Pardon my French but be prepared for f-bombs to fly because that’s the controversy swirling around 🎵 “Fuck It (I Don’t Want You Back).” Censorship, or censor-shit? You be the judge! R&B singer 🎙 Eamon may be a one-hit wonder, but we still remember that one hit from his 2004 album, 💿 I Don’t Want You Back.  Surprisingly, “Fuck It (I Don’t Want You Back)” was a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100! It was a hit, with ample bleeps, of course. 

“Fuck what I said, it don’t mean shit now
Fuck the presents, might as well throw ‘em out
Fuck all those kisses, they didn’t mean jack
Fuck you, you ho, I don’t want you back.”

As rough around the edges as “I Don’t Want You Back” is, Eamon is at least honest about his feelings.  Also, worth noting, there was a controversial response: 🎵 “F U Right Back” courtesy of 🎙 Frankee. Wow!

Final Thoughts 💭

Fu-uccck, that’s a lot of fuck – oops, sorry – amplifying the problem! The point is, Eamon drops the bomb excessively.  Basically, he doesn’t give two fizzucks! One thing’s for sure: he doesn’t want her back.  The controversy: bluntness to the nth degree with a heaping dose of – wait for it – “Fuck It!”
