Which is why I think it’s a bad take. Yes, you might find it cringy when a westerner takes on a Hispanic or Japanese name for example, but there are so many instances globally where it is a perfectly normal thing to do, or even a necessity.
I don’t agree. It’s really common for people to have a second name, for example an Asian person with an “English name”. Lots of Kpop idols take on a western name as their stage name. Are you including all these people in your critique?
I’d never heard this TLC song before (I only knew No Scrubs and Waterfalls), but a NewJeans TikTok clued me onto it. It’s great!

Gotta search through TLC’s discography now to see if they have any more songs like this (I’m open to suggestions). I’ve found this...
It’s was never a particularly good song - just compared to the utter crap that makes up the rest of their discography, it was an absolute godsend at the time!
I thought it was an interesting read. It’s nice to hear from them directly that the CD “baking” was meant to be a deliberate play on words (I thought that link was a bit of a reach when I first heard it, but turns out that was the intent).
