When The Dutchess, Miss Fergie Ferg, is not spending her precious time teaching us how to spell seemingly-difficult words, she is teaching a lesson on empowerment. Not just any empowerment though. Fergie is serving us a message that is based on the term, "MILF" which she re-defines as "Mom's I'd Like to Follow." (It even has its own accompanying Instagram account.) But this song has a much deeper message that we are about to dive down deep to explore!

Spelling bee champion? No wonder she's the amazing speller that taught us how to spell glamorous and delicious.

On July 1st, 2016, Fergie made a huge return to music since her last bop, "L.A. Love (La La)" in 2014.

Her new single, "M.I.L.F. $" turned heads when it premiered primarily because of the concept. One might assume that the song was meant to be a raunchy trap song.

However, after I listened to the song for the first time, as well as the accompanying music video it became clear what the message was something much more than just a scandalous, sexy song. This is an anthem. An empowering track that is meant to inspire mothers, especially those mothers that are able to successfully balance a career in addition to their parental role.

One of the most notable features of the music video is its cameos of famous Hollywood moms, such as Kim Kardashian West and Chrissy Teigen. As Fergie said in her phone interview, "This is definitely empowering moms to have fun. Being a mom and having a career, taking care of yourself and still being able to be flirty and fun and a little naughty sometimes -- there's nothing wrong with that. [...] Society tries to tell moms what they should and shouldn't be, and it's just a little freeing to have fun with pushing those limits a bit. I might do it a little bit more than others, but that's just who I am."The song and its accompanying music video is a great example of breaking the mold that traditional standards have set in place for our society. Why not crush these societal standards and love ourselves? Fergie is using her platform in order to give a voice to women, like herself, who are killing it with their careers while remaining mothers.

Since her last solo album, The Dutchess, back in 2006, she worked on a few projects with The Black Eyed Peas and had her first child. And now, after all these years, we are expecting the sophomore album by our favorite Hacienda Heights native, supposedly titled Double Dutchess. Even if this album is half as good as the first one, it will be full of bops and timeless ballads, a la "Big Girls Don't Cry (Personal)."
