[expletive] off with this [expletive] song. I've reached my boiling point with it.
I thought it was BS from day one, but then i started to feel guilty because thought to myself, "maybe this courageous young woman wrote this song because she was battling cancer" or something. No this dog [expletive] song is about her battle with record companies and her struggle write a hit.
Was there any one moment in particular that inspired “Fight Song”?
After three months of attempting to write a “hit,” my publisher, Amanda Berman, at Sony ATV called me and asked why I hadn’t yet told my story. I didn’t want to talk about the struggle, I told her I didn’t want to go there. But I finally relented, more out of just the need to get it out. “Fight Song” was that story. The story of the many rejections I received from record labels, the countless closed doors; and despite all of it, that tiny but brave voice in my heart that wouldn’t let me give up on myself or my dream.
is this used in those car commercials? i hadn't heard the song prior to seeing one of those and i kept thinking "wow this song is so radio friendly created".

Read all about her struggle there. She wrote a goddamn cookie cutter song that's been sung a million times before her.

I barely have heard it, but I mean... you can draw inspiration on what you know. Not everyone is lucky enough to get the cancer necessary for legitimacy.

Definitely.
When i went to make this rant, it was just going to be "man [expletive] this song--its so annoying" and was going to leave it that. But as i was typing that, i wondered what the inspiration was and if it was something along the lines of a true struggle with something, then i was gonna leave it be.
