It’s crazy how Brit Smiths version tells a story and she actually feels the guilt while jojos version just seems meaningless. The song makes so much more sense now.

[@rednad0814]

ikr? like in Jojo's version, the "thou shall" parts are so confusing. and after watching this MV, it makes sense cause she's talking to a preacher(or a pastor? idk what it's called)

[@vani50]

@@rednad0814yes. She’s in confession telling her sins (cheating) and saying that she regrets everything she did. Much better production in the song as well.

Brit actually conveys guilt, while Jojo seems like she is PROUD of the fact that she cheated.

[@raindeer9787]

It feels like Brit actually understood the lyrics and message of the song, while Jojo just wanted to advertise her new persona through it. The imagery is a lot different, the widow aesthetic symbolizing her mourning the death of her relationship while talking to a priest trying to get forgiveness. While Jojo looked like a dollar store KISS member while humping background dancers... Her message was "this is the new me" paying attention to the "oh I'm saying 'I'm a bad girl' and cursing 🤭🤭🤭" just completely ignoring the "thou shall not cheat" moral of the song.

I am OBSESSED with this song its such a banger. Such a shame her label failed her so badly! She wouldve been such a star

Why couldn't we have heard this version first?! We knew it was out there. This very 2012 sounding song actually sounds timeless to the version we've been hearing.
