⁠
TikTok users have been buzzing about Olivia Rodrigo's opening track on her album "guts." The song reclaims the phrase “all-American” for Asian American women, challenging the stereotype of Western beauty standards. Rodrigo herself is brown-eyed and brown-haired beauty.⁠
⁠
Rodrigo has previously faced criticism regarding her Asian heritage, with some people denying her Asian identity and perceiving her as only a white American. Although the 20-year-old has become a role model for many Asian American girls, the debate about her heritage has been ongoing.⁠
⁠
According to TikTok user Hannah C (loudhannahbanana), the track addresses Asian Americans’ common feeling of not being considered truly American by society and the expectation to conform.⁠
“She doesn’t just reclaim it, she also comments on the fact that oftentimes Asian Americans aren’t seen as American. We’re seen as foreigners or outsiders,” Hannah says. “In the outro she sings, ‘I’m grateful all the time.’ And that’s what we’re expected to be. So grateful to be in America and if we aren’t grateful or good enough or contributing, people tell us to go back to our country.”⁠
⁠
The song also resonated with Asian American women who often face fetishization and commodification on platforms like dating apps. TikTok user Maggie Zhou (yemagz ) said that the release of Rodrigo’s “GUTS” album was a “big day for Asian girls everywhere.”⁠
“All-american bitch encapsulates the Asian woman experience and the expectations put on a hyper-sexualized but demure community,” Zhou shares.⁠
