Why did I pick this song?

I decided to pick 'Heartbreaker' by Natalie Major because I really like the song. I also picked this song because I could envision the music video. Since this song is at a fast pace I would be able to do a lot of different techniques when I film, which I wouldn't be able to do if I was doing a slow song for a music video.

Page 3: Analysing song lyrics

1st verse: I got the words that will bruise your ego, bring you to your knees.I got the heat that will make your feet burn when they – to me.Oh Girl close the windows and the cracks in the doors. Make it hard for you to breathe Give you a taste to what you do to them.

The line "Give you a taste to what you do to them ." This could suggest that she's going to retaliate. Instead of taking his heart, she will take girl's hearts in order for them to become heartless enough to become a heartbreaker.

The first line "I got the words that will bruise your ego". In my opinion I believe this could suggest that the girl is no longer allowing herself to get heartbroken, so she's going to stand up for herself and do something about it.

Chorus: And oh, it feels so good. And it feels right, I’m on the outside of all this. Ima standby -------------------------------------------- The tables turn, and I’m not gonna take it any longer.So ima be your heartbreaker.

In the chorus "I'm on the outside of all this.". This could suggest that now that she's doing the heart breaking it no longer hurts her, she could possibly feel more powerful

The last line in the chorus is "So ima be your heartbreaker." This line tells the audience that the man and woman's role has changed, she's no longer inferior, she's now the one who's in control.

2nd Verse:We can do this as long as you please, but I’m not giving in.--------------------And you and me, we’re one in the same -----------and don’t it feel so good.

3rd verse: I won’t be your victim.What is this world you’re living? -------------You won’t get me back.

In the second verse, it says "but I'm not giving in." This can connote that she's not going to back down, and she'll continue on doing so.

In the third verse, it says "What is this world you're living?". This can suggest to the audience that although she's doing the same thing he does, she doesn't understand why he would do it in the first place.
