Abigail Breslin marks music debut with backlash on Twitter
Actress Abigail Breslin debuted her first music video on Wednesday (26Nov14) and then faced backlash from Twitter users who slammed her for allegedly calling out a famous ex-boyfriend.
The Little Miss Sunshine star premiered the promo for her new song You Suck, a pop/rock anthem vilifying a former beau and managed to anger a number of fans in the process.
In the track she sings, "I hate the scar above your eye, it looks
like you're on drugs/And you really need to learn to wash your
hair/Overall, you're not a catch, you're just a dumba**/Bleaching
your hair, I hope it all falls out.
"I bet you're going to hear this song/I bet you're going to sing
along and tell your friends how I'm obsessed with you/And I bet you
didn't know that you sound like a girl/Every time you call me when
you're drunk/And all that I want to say is you really suck."
Those in the know have speculated that Breslin's track is aimed at
5 Seconds of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford, who she briefly
dated last year (13), and fans of the Australian boy band took to
social media to slam the actress for writing a "stupid song about
Michael that was seriously uncalled for".
Other fans have suggested the song is actually about ex-boyfriend
and All Time Low vocalist Jack Barakat, because she sings the line
"sounds like All Time Low."
While Breslin has yet to reveal the subject of the song, she told
Teen Vogue that in general, the track is about "those guys who are
players and use people and just generally aren't really good
people."
She added, "It's about things I've witnessed. It's not OK when guys
don't have respect for girls. I wrote it in the heat of the moment,
and I think a lot of people will relate to it."
The 18 year old's debut album is set to be released in April
(15).
