about

About this Track:
Little Trophy is a call out against the sexual objectification of women. The song was partially inspired by a previous long distance relationship Sophie had (she was doing all the heavy lifting to make everything happen while the other was sitting back and reaping the benefits (fun trips & getting laid)), and partially inspired by unwanted sexual advances, judgements, or discriminations that almost every single woman has experienced. Jessie’s punchy bass and Jen’s laid back drums pull you into a groovy pocket, with Luvia’s synth adding a shimmering support. Sophie’s vocals lay smoothly overtop, and her lyrics are powerful, relatable, and universal. In the bridge you’ll hear the crystalline, ghostly harmonies of the “Me Too” survivors calling out the outdated, harmful narrative and disrupting the status quo.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Take me to the forest I’m knocking on wood Just because you want to doesn’t mean that you should
You think you’ve got my whole world but nothing gold can stay Lose your grip and all the stars will fade to grey - I’m going away.

I’m not your little trophy I’m not your prize to be won All my work for all your fun Oh, oh, oh no.

You lured me in with fish hooks - they’re ripping my mouth Jump this ship before it all starts heading south
That was touch and go there - that was a close call Another venture in exchange for nothing at all.

I’m not your badge of honour I’m not your accolade Not a soul for you to save Oh, oh, oh no.

Don’t touch don’t look give back what you took Don’t look don’t touch you take up too much
