Sofia Isella es una cantautora estadounidense nacida en Los Ángeles en 2005. Empezó tocando el violín de niña y escribió su primera letra a los ocho años. Su estilo mezcla dark pop, art pop e industrial, y es muy teatral en directo: suele actuar con ropa holgada y cubierta de barro.
"Everybody Supports Women" se publicó como single el 1 de septiembre de 2023. El estribillo ya circulaba por TikTok semanas antes del lanzamiento, y una crítica de la época cuenta que mucha gente se lo sabía de memoria antes de que saliera. Ese tirón la llevó a abrir conciertos de Melanie Martinez, Tom Odell y, en 2024, de Taylor Swift en el estadio de Wembley dentro del Eras Tour. La propia Sofia ha comentado que cree que esta canción pudo llamar la atención de Swift. En 2026 ha publicado su primer álbum, "Something Is a Shell".
El videoclip es tan inquietante como la canción. Alterna escenas de Sofia en un avión destrozado rodeado de maniquíes desmembrados con otras en blanco y negro en un almacén.
El significado: la letra es una sátira oscura sobre la hipocresía con la que se trata a las mujeres. Todo el mundo apoya a las mujeres y quiere que te quieras a ti misma, hasta que una de ellas triunfa o de verdad se quiere. Entonces empiezan la envidia, el cotilleo y las ganas de verla caer. La canción también retrata la misoginía interiorizada, con ese "yo no soy como las demás chicas" que usan unas mujeres para separarse de otras. Y señala cómo la cultura de las redes sociales las enfrenta entre sí, porque ver a otra mujer triunfar nos hace sentir peor con nuestra propia vida.
Letra:
Everybody supports women until a woman's doing better than you
Everybody wants you to love yourself until you actually do
It was something about her hair, so perfectly fallen
She was nice, and smart, and funny, and got everything she wanted
And she does charity, isn't that the most obnoxious thing you've heard?
Her popularity, she's too pretty for her own good
She's probably self-centered, we hate her and she's nothing
If everybody leaves her, then she had it coming
Is there anything you'd like to put on the record
You know, while everyone is listening?
I would like it to be known that I'm not like her
I'm mocking her 'cause I'm not like her
I'm not like those girls who are not like those girls
I love doing makeup, I don't mock women like her, I'm not like her
As soon as she hits it, I'm kicking her out
She's had enough of the love, and I'm bringing her down
Everyone together on the count of three
One, two, you're mundane, we agree
Your ambition is swallowable if you tell the story right
Say that you hate yourself and self criticize
But if we smell desperation on your neck and face
We'll drag you across your own public stage
We burn her name in the back
Anything with her name attached
Her newspaper's in the trash
I just keep thinking man
What a waste
What a shame
I was starting to like her, but now she got great
We'd never hate her to her face
But I hope she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
Hmm
I don't like your tone
I don't like how much you've grown
It's so boring to not be yanking muscle off of a woman's bone
Everybody hates the-, everyone hates the unrelatable
And I love to place two of 'em in the arena of the public's eye
And try and get 'em to fight about something dumb and we pick sides
'Cause staring at her too long made our life look like muted pastels
We'll love you if you just make us feel better about ourselves
And what a waste
What a shame
I was starting to like her, but now she got great
We'd never hate her to her face
But I hope she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
And what a pain
I watch us spit her name while she's turned the other side
We never told it to her face
But I think she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
Everybody supports women until a woman's doing better than you
Everybody wants you to love yourself until you actually do
It was something about her hair, so perfectly fallen
She was nice, and smart, and funny, and got everything she wanted
And she does charity, isn't that the most obnoxious thing you've heard?
Her popularity, she's too pretty for her own good
She's probably self-centered, we hate her and she's nothing
If everybody leaves her, then she had it coming
Everybody supports women until a woman's doing better than you
Everybody wants you to love yourself until you actually do
It was something about her hair
