WEB St Vincent Argues John Mayer's “Daughters” is the Worst Song Ever
Indie Singer-Songwriter Shares Her Strong Feelings
Vincent's Pick for Worst Song Ever
In a recent interview with Kerrang, acclaimed indie singer-songwriter Annie Clark, known professionally as St. Vincent, boldly declared John Mayer's 2003 hit “Daughters” the worst song ever written. Clark, herself a renowned guitarist, expressed strong opinions about the Grammy-winning single.
Why It's the Worst
“It's just so hideously sexist,” Clark explained. “It pretends to be a love song, but it's just a creepy ode to a young girl.” She elaborated, criticizing the song's lyrics, which she believes objectify and sexualize young women.
Mayer's Response
Despite Mayer's past reputation for controversial lyrics, he has not yet publicly responded to Clark's comments. Given their shared status as celebrated guitarists, it remains to be seen if the two will engage in a public debate over the song and its merits.
