It describes an unpopular high school student jealous of another student's success as a cheerleader and beauty queen.
A version of this song was recorded in Simlish and was featured in 'The Sims 2: Pets' expansion pack. Country singer Julie Roberts also recorded a version for her second studio album, 2006's 'Men & Mascara', although her version did not chart.
Music video
The music video was released in March 2006. It stars two girls, one jealous of the other. When the second chorus kicks in, the girl uses her powers to hit the jealous one. They both appear in separate scenes, thanks to a pink double-screen. The lead singer is performing in a classroom, and with her band at a concert. The video ends with the girls in 2 limos. The jealous one somehow cuts into the other girl's screen, and steals a tiara from her. She tries to get it back, but bangs her head on the side of her screen instead.
