The song serves as the second official single from their upcoming second studio album by Permanent Reminder on August 14th, 2014. It features Pop/Rock and R&B singer Jennifer Armstrong who is also currently working on her third studio album. The song was written by Mia Clark and Jennifer Armstrong, and produced by Rob Cavallo, who has worked with bands such as Linkin park, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, and so on. The track has so far been well received within the music community, some calling it PLF's most 'gritty and angst filled track that the duo has done.' Known for their usually slow and laid back type tracks, it takes them into new yet seemingly familiar territory as they give vocal performances and storytelling that can be compared to some of the top notch rock bands of this time period. Musically, the single is credited as an alternative rock song with some traces of Pop punk influences, with fast punk tempos, chord changes and loud guitars with pop-influenced melodies and a lyrical theme. Right off the bat, the track opens with a loud and brash guitar riff and rolls into the first verse where we hear Mia, the tougher twin of the duo who is known for speaking her mind at any cost. Even with the tough sounds, the girls waste no time with their spitfire lyrics and confident attitudes, which also passes off to Jennifer, who shines in her verse. Initially, it's just Jade who is singing the pre-chorus but then all three of them sing together after Jennifer's verse, ultimately having the 'girl power' which screams throughout the track. Lyrically, the track refers to the girls not wanting to be the underdogs when it comes to rock music, and as the title suggests, they can be one of the boys without being seen as weak and fragile little girls. During an interview with PLF, Mia said the single was a must needed 'pick me up' for most ladies in rock music. "For some reason, girls are usually outcast and not seen as much of a threat or musically talented to that of an all male rock band or a male led band. We were just like 'enough of that' it's a new era, a new age. There's been a lot of women fronted rock bands that have made impactful music and performances and we don't ever want to be seen as just some sexy objects. Yes, we're sexy, but hey, we also have this amazing band between us that can stand with the best of them. Jen's just one of the strongest voices, literally, of women in the industry and so it was fun recording and adding her on the record. We couldn't think of anyone else really, it was a match made deal." When asked about the song's representation of sounds on their album, Jade chimed in to say, "There's definitely a lot more of these types of songs, you know, hard hitting and the kind that will probably shock that two seemingly little chicks are playing. The album will be filled with some fun and crazy tunes. It's truly my favorite album, out of our two." Olive- Jade Red - Mia Magenta - Jennifer Armstrong Black - Together You never looked at me like somebody All you saw were just skirts and legs It's the same thing Always the same thing But I'd love to go another round Why the anger? The cold shoulder Closed doors won't stay shut this time I'm not sorry for stepping on your toes You don't like it? Well you better get in line Stereotypical attitudes Mixed with narcissistic brains Try to keep us locked up But we're breaking all your chains (Oh) All your chains (Oh) No more of your old chains I can see why you're shaking You're just too scared to admit You thought we'd cower to your mistaken manhood (Hey) Your manhood (Oh) You thought wrong And now all you sound like is a broken record So I will change your tune You'll find out soon Just why I'm still around Now all you sound like is a broken record So I will change your tune You'll find out soon Just why I'm still around We can play just like one of the boys We can hang just like one of the boys And it's sad that your eyes will never open Still stuck in your chauvinistic ways I'm not frightened, or intimidated I've seen this story and know how it plays Instead of acceptance you're just crying About how much the times have changed You don't believe in God but you're praying Hoping that one day I fade Stereotypical attitudes Mixed with narcissistic brains Try to keep us locked up But we're breaking all your chains (Oh) All your chains (Oh) No more of your old chains I can see why you're shaking You're just too scared to admit You thought we'd cower to your mistaken manhood (Hey) Your manhood (Oh) You thought wrong And now all you sound like is a broken record So I will change your tune You'll find out soon Just why I'm still around Now all you sound like is a broken record So I will change your tune You'll find out soon Just why I'm still around We can play just like one of the boys We can hang just like one of the boys F*k sht up just like one of the boys We can be just like one of the boys And now all you sound like is a broken record So I will change your tune You'll find out soon Just why I'm still around Now all you sound like is a broken record So I will change your tune You'll find out soon Just why I'm still around Sounds Like:

Even though this is the male bashing song, I like the rock edge it has and all of you really sound pissed off. Sometimes a lady can be so sexy when she's so pissed off but this is not that type of topic for conversation, nice track here ladies. Queen Alexis: Not a bad song at all but I think the song could do without Jennifer Armstrong. She sounds so out of place. I think the more pop influenced rock songs are better for her. This is too heavy in sound for her to really shine and she gets lost in the production and instruments. I don't know. She doesn't do it for me, guess she was asked to do this add some name value? Everyone wants you guys to win Pretty Little Freaks, I hope this is the one or it might be alil too late.

The empowerment and such is a good thing to inspire people with and hopefully this track is seen in such a way. Great work by you two girls and of course Jennifer who sounds killer as always! Great stuff! :)

I don't think we know how to be anyone but ourselves and ha, thanks again. I guess I was really ticked when I wrote this and I agree, sometimes being angry is sexy ;) Thanks again. @Alexis: Well we all thought she sounded perfect, the only other female with a strong enough voice to really shine on the track plus her voice is versatile and can fit with so many different styles. I don't think she gets lost in the production at all, actually. I'm not sure if you really listened to the song but she sounds fine, we all do.
