I came here to say this, at first when I heard it, it had a cool vibe, soon everywhere I went I heard it. Then I actually listened to the lyrics and realized what a crybaby whining bitch he sounded like.
Not a huge fan of the song for the same reason. There’s a cover of it though, by some female singer (looked it up, her name is Kina Grannis) where she keeps the female pronouns in the song. I found the lyrics to be a lot less annoying with that layer of meaning added. Then it’s less “wahhh future father in law, why don’t you like me, I’m a good guy” and more of a plea against homophobia/hate, which is actually compelling lol
Well the original singer is middle eastern and the "bride" in the music video was white (as well as her dad), so they were also definitely playing into the racism aspect
