AceShowbiz - Dove Cameron gets political in a new music video for "Breakfast". Slamming patriarchy in the wake of the Roe v. Wade reversal, the singer can be seen flipping gender norms in the Tuesday, August 23 visuals.
Instead of being a housewife, the 26-year-old holds the power in the household. While she's getting ready for work in a full suit and tie, her husband serves her breakfast and cleans their house.
Dove also dominates the workplace along with her female colleagues. While one of her co-workers inappropriately touches a male employee, the former Disney star further seduces him. Her husband, meanwhile, waiting for her at home.
"I eat boys like you for breakfast/ One by one hung on my necklace/ And they'll always be mine/ It makes me feel alive," she sings in the chorus. "I eat boys like you for breakfast/ And I know that you tried your bestest/ I never said it's right/ But I'm gonna keep doing it."
Speaking about the visuals, Dove said in a statement, "I was feeling incredibly disillusioned watching the recent SCOTUS ruling, and I couldn't wrap my head around making a music video at a time when I felt so desolate." She added, "With this video, I want to show the disturbing contrast between stylized femininity and masculine power and the gender stereotypes that plague our social commentary."
"I want the audience to notice how strange it is to watch the roles be reversed and it was important to highlight how ingrained these roles really are in our nervous systems," the "Descendants" actress further elaborated.
Dove dropped "Breakfast" in late June. The track serves as the second single from her upcoming debut album following "Boyfriend". The queer anthem itself secured a big success for the songstress as it became her first solo song to chart on the Billboard Hot 10.
