It seems all the ignorant comments are coming from men. Interesting. If you read the lyrics, it's clearly a scenario that is all too common among date rape and rape by intoxication cases. If someone puts something into your drink, deliberately gets you so drunk to the point where you can't legally consent to sex or can't remember having sex, whether it's your boyfriend, your friend, someone you just met at the club/bar or even a complete stranger for that matter, THIS IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF DATE RAPE and RAPE BY INTOXICATION, and at the end of the day what you all need to know here is rape is rape is rape. It's no wonder victims remain silent and these crimes go unreported, look at the responses to this post. The victim in lots of cases often fears for their life and will say "yeah yeah yeah" because they are scared or drugged or has had too much alcohol interfering with all of their faculties. Get educated!!!!

wtf?? 0_o
Did a monkey write this article?
Date rape? Its about drinking too much, hooking up with a guy and not remembering what happened the next morning. A relateable anthem of every girl (or guy) at one point or another.

Um, the song is quite obviously not about date rape. If it was, the victim wouldn't be saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'. I don't think that's the idea the producers were going for at all. It is quite simply about a hook up that shouldn't have happened, perhaps with an ex, or something else that isn't allowed - perhaps someone's husband. What a stupid article.

Well I don't think it's at all about date rape.

Sadly I can relate to the scenario presented in the song. There were times I went out drinking, and woke up the next day hungover and regretful for getting busy with someone when I shouldn't have.
