There is literally no reason for there to be any dislikes for this video. Its truly beautiful displaying your strength when you could very well be weak given your circumstances.

Domestic violence is not ok. Physical abuse is not ok. Hitting a woman is not ok. Making excuses for physical violence towards a woman is not ok. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!

[@coreygatling9924]

@Elvick yeap. Women can be verbally and physically abusive

[@mls2fye978]

Kiley Samuels lying about who did it and not confirming or denying who it was is not ok either. Apparently Sheck Wes was her abuser but she just leaving that up for debate. That ain’t cool.

[@asiarogers3746]

@Elvick I don't think that Kiley's comment suggests that it's only wrong to hit a woman. The comment began with very general black and white statements - "Domestic violence is not ok. Physical abuse is not okay." The video is emphasizing domestic violence against women because it is so prevalent and because that's what Justine knows from her experience. No one is trying to erase the truth about domestic violence against men. The misogyny that fuels violence against women is the same force that silences men who've been subject to the same thing.

Many men,women and same sex couples face this issue. Let's support one another and know not to blame yourself.You can't build a man like she said and the only thing to do is wish better for them so they can change themselves.

[@angelinavargas8511]

There’s a similar theme in many underrated dark skinned women’s music videos: A toxic relationship and the desire to create a man that lets them be the woman they’ve always wanted to be. It makes me incredibly sad that they don’t get the platform to tell their stories and the women that look like them ultimately get blamed for the walls they build to protect themselves because they remain unprotected. They get called masculine and bitter and are blamed for being single mothers and “driving the father away” all while ignoring the fact that they might have escaped something truly horrible and are doing the best they can with the resources they have. They’re all so beautiful but the industry is hiding them, and the community is shaming them.

[@saraidouangmani84]

This is the first time ive seen the video but ive listened to this song forever now & can i just say that i legit started crying??? Like 3 years ago this video was me & seeing it all in a video just kinda hit it on the head of how it is to be with someone who is abusive (especially while you're pregnant) & then how freeing it is once you get out of it. Its so hard to try and get away from someone you care about but you cant care for them the right way because they dont care for you the right way either. Youre stuck in a dilemma of "should i abandon all hope and run?" or "Do i stay for the rough times and help the person i love get better?" Everyone says "Once they start they wont stop". When youve never been in a situation like this & it starts happening so slowly from once to a couple times you brush it off and blame it either on yourself or i.e if theyre drunk or really angry. Then it starts happening all the time & youre so mentally detached that you dont even know how you let yourself get this deep & usually it comes with some sort of brainwash of how you arent good enough or no one will ever love you like they love you.. you start letting yourself go bc you believe youre disgusting and no one wants you. Your friends see everything, youre hiding it from your family, everytime you go out together you try to put on a front hoping no one sees the scars under your makeup or clothes.. Once you get out of something thats burying you alive, every breath of fresh air is like being reborn. But you have to stand up and dig yourself out of your grave to get back on top... that process alone can be worse than what youre trying to get out of so most people end up giving up and going back... on top of you still feeling mentally not good enough for anyone else and feeling like that person is the only one who wants you. Youve already given yourself to that person, so why try to start over? Domestic Abuse runs deeper than what people can see, people DIE from this. This needs to be taken seriously in all cases. Save yourself or someone you know guys. I almost lost my daughter and my life to this...

[@mindyc.6980]

I STILL remember the exact moment when I heard this song for the first time.. needless to say...i got in my feels and it played on repeat till I got home.. The video and lyrics reminded me of my most pain-felt times but also, at the same time, my most empowered of times, as well, when I maintained the faith and courage to keep changing my life because I DESERVED better. I stopped defining myself as a victim of domestic violence, and, instead- as SURVIVOR of it. That decision helped turn the dark moments of my life into something beautiful to grow from. ...one thing thats took me slightly by surprise Is despite how much time has passed since my life was that of the women's in the video- I still get immediately and reflexively taken back when wayching the video! I have to clarify that it wasnt in a negative way, though, was truly quite the opposite. I gained a sense of empowerment by seeing and remembering everything that I was so incredibly lucky to have overcome! Musics ability to grab your soul and resignate with it can truly take your breath away, at times-especially when it does it in a moment that you least expect it and need it most. To all the women still living this-there IS hope. You're a survivor, and are worthy of love.

This song was extremely underrated ugh I hate how she doesn’t connect with her supporters lol she would be so much bigger

[@acoleman1391]

Justine in one of many underrated artist who doesn’t receive enough recognition for their artistry. This song proves that. Not only does this video shed light on domestic violence it also empowers women to always choose yourself first to never stop improving on self worth. 💜

The problem is that industry or most of music consumers and followers prefer artists who make music videos showing their bodies, shaking asses, ignoring artists like Justine Skye and more others that make great musics. There are many artists that make great music but unfortunately don't get much recognition, because there are few people like us who appreciate good music instead of plastic music.

All the love to this woman. She’s so empowering. 💙💜

Justine is Normani's friend and Arin is Normani's ex 👀. Maybe they'll collab one day

[@TravisCrown]

[@louieloveslondon11]

Yes to all the beautiful black women in this video and the message

[@JP-pe3jl]

I still tryna figure out why she's not more successful...

[@Mo-yg2uk]

Because she makes good music and is talented....the ones that blow up are a joke to music.

[@JP-pe3jl]

@@Mo-yg2uk Kinda true. Only a few talented ones succeed nowadays.

[@lifewithbes]

Erm she is successful

[@Mo-yg2uk]

@@lifewithbes he said MORE successful.......meaning why no one is talking about her the way they talk about other celebs. (Sza, Jenelle Monae, etc.....)

[@Girlbabe191]

Mo 1720 granted sza ain’t really blow up until CTRL she been out for years and nobody knew who she was. It just takes one song and this is it!

[@loveyourselfbts2439]

For everyone that has/or is going through domestic abuse, you’re the strongest and the best. I love and support you all

[@thefeels6848]

it's crazy how she literally comes out about her abuser and other people come out about him, but he still has the hugest following. the disrespect for black women is profound.

[@Alashamonay143]

This song is literally what I needed in my life !!!!! I swear this song was made for me to listen to it and take the message from it !! I love you Justine Skye💜💜💜

[@ElleJayMakeup]

Both of you are so underrated and I’m here for this!

[@ellacasanovas69]

[@angiemone4903]

I listen to this song everyday so empowering. Keep going no matter your circumstances you got this ❤

[@therealjokertpforever9243]
