"Your Power" is a song by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and the third single from her second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021). A folk ballad backed by an acoustic guitar, it narrates a damaging sexual relationship between a female high school student and an older man, exploring the topics of sexual harassment and statutory rape. The lyrics are a plea for powerful men to stop using their authority to exploit vulnerable women. Praised for the relevance of its lyrics to contemporary society, "Your Power" was named one of the best songs of 2021 in many publications and won Video for Good at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. Some critics placed it within the context of #MeToo, a social movement started by women to expose and counter sexual misconduct by men in positions of power. In June 2022, Eilish performed the song to protest the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court, a landmark decision that removed abortion's status as a constitutional right in the country.

  • Coordinator comment Given that we have two worthy articles for March 8, I'd appreciate it if people, in !voting on both, express a preference for one over the other if they can, with whatever reasons they care to state.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:16, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment a follow-up to "AFAICT no song article has ever been run for TFA on an IW day" - past TFAs on this date ranged from articles about historical feminist movements/gatherings (2021 and 2020), women who were feminists, female politicians, "first women", or otherwise (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 2012, and 2009), to a feminist literary work (2011), to something completely unrelated to women or women's rights. ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ 💬 "Will you call me?"

  • Support per Elias above, most Women's Day TFAs have been biographies. A song would be a nice change. Juxlos (talk) 07:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would love to have this featured on TFA but it seems that there is already a consensus to put the Foote article as TFA on 8 March. I would have suggested to have this featured on March 7 or 9, but the Interstate 205 article has been suggested to be featured on the 7th, while Sumitro is poised to be scheduled on the 9th (with three support! votes as of this writing). Could this be scheduled to be featured on March 1 instead? After all, that is the start of Women's Month. (Or maybe even March 5 or 10?) Vida0007 (talk) 06:31, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Coordinator comment Your Power do you have views on when this article should run if not on March 8?--Wehwalt (talk) 21:57, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Wehwalt Per my submission on WP:Today's featured article/requests/pending, I would want it run on June 24 instead, because that marks the first anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned. Thanks for the notif   ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ 💬 "Will you call me?"

OK. Just resubmit this for that date when we open June, after May is scheduled (probably early to mid April). Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
