JoJo Siwa<\/strong><\/a> is responding to haters in the best way she knows how \u2014 through music.<\/p>\n

Siwa, 22, released her latest single, \u201cRaspy,\u201d on Friday, August 8. A stark contrast from her most recent song, which was a cover of the 1981 hit \u201cBette Davis Eyes\u201d by Kim Carnes<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cRaspy\u201d is a rap track that throws shade at the Dance Moms<\/em> alum\u2019s critics. The title itself is a reference to a viral clip of Siwa singing in a recording studio and a producer saying, \u201cOh, my God, she\u2019s raspy today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the opening line features a callback to \u201cBette Davis Eyes,\u201d which sparked controversy due to the severe rasp in Siwa\u2019s voice on the song.<\/p>\n

\u201cEyes like Bette Davis \/ Hear my voice and you know what my name is \/ Wise beyond my age \/ That\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re little and you\u2019re put on the stage,\u201d she sings. \u201cBut quit crying \u2019cause you\u2019re famous \/ Can\u2019t change this, \u2018She\u2019s shameless, this crazy\u2019 \/ Don\u2019t hate me, I\u2019m just a little baby \/ Slim Shady, but a lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tJoJo Siwa\u2019s viral outfit at the iHeartRadio Music Awards wasn\u2019t an attempt to resurrect Kiss \u2014 it was her way of preparing fans for the arrival of her new music video. Siwa\u2019s \u201cKarma\u201d dropped on Friday, April 5, marking the 20-year-old\u2019s first single featuring lyrical content not suitable for children. At the start of the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the pre-chorus and chorus, Siwa continues, \u201cIt just happens when I\u2019m happy \/ I get (Hey) \/ Raspy \/ Raspy \/ Raspy, I get raspy \/ You know I\u2019m raspy, you see I\u2019m raspy \/ You hear I\u2019m raspy, I get raspy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Siwa\u2019s line about happiness may be a reference to her relationship with Chris Hughes<\/strong><\/a>, which she confirmed in June after they met while filming the U.K.\u2019s Celebrity Big Brother<\/em> in April.<\/p>\n

In the second verse, Siwa seemingly pokes fun at the various stories about her online.<\/p>\n

\u201cSay what you want, go ahead, try to insult me \/ I\u2019m sulking, I\u2019m sulking \/ All press is good press \/ \u2018Hey JoJo, you\u2019re a mess\u2019 \/ OK (Capture my feelings) \/ If you yell at m\u0435 I\u2019m gonna cry (Boo-hoo),\u201d she sings. \u201cAnother headline for th\u0435 late night news \/ Who\u2019s my dream guest on my podcast? \/ My exes confessed to construction vets \/ And I can\u2019t say my R\u2019s, but I can buy a Rolls-Royce \/ Was on The Masked Singer<\/em> \u2019cause I couldn\u2019t make The Voice<\/em> \/ You act like I can\u2019t hear the noise, but I can \/ My happiness is a choice (That\u2019s right) \/ Karma never came, yeah, she\u2019s still a traitor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of the song\u2019s release, Siwa promoted \u201cRaspy\u201d with clips on TikTok, garnering mixed reactions from fans. Her initial post<\/a> featuring the first verse received several negative comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNRELEASE THIS \ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udd25,\u201d one user wrote, while another critic added, \u201cI can\u2019t imagine being a human and making this with a team and thinking \u2018wow this is good\u2019 \ud83d\ude2d.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, a video<\/a> featuring the second verse received a more positive response.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Can\u2019t say my r\u2019s but i can buy rolls royce\u2019 goes too hard for no reason,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t lie this is iconic \ud83d\ude2d I don\u2019t agree with all of Jojo\u2019s actions but I\u2019ve always thought she was overhated and I gotta say this kinda slaps,\u201d another person added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s one thing jojo does it\u2019s laugh all the way to the bank,\u201d a third user commented.<\/p>\n
