Lol, its ridiculous that someone could be scared to lose followers because of such a song. I think she dont even want them to follow if they are against human rights.
@Gaming with Unicorn he never said that she is scared. He said it would be ridiculous IF she is scared, but she wouldnt want people to follow her anyways if theyre against human rights. Hope u understand💞
That doesn't even make sense lol.. Wouldn't it be MORE brave she had the balls to side with the police? lol She'd lose way more followers and fame going that route.
@Derrick Matthews I know who Billie Holiday is. And I definitely know the song strange fruit. How is Her a phony for speaking on black issues today?🙄😒 Because 2pac isnt here anymore no other black person can be conscious?
Yeah but the person came here clearly trying to throw shade and diminish that cause they hadn’t heard it that it didn’t deserve to win Song Of The Year !
Maybe because its a tired and whiny blues pentatonic tuneless drab 3 chord trope. Its awful, if you take the time to actually listen, tokenism 'rap' for the 3rd verse, and the reason no-one hears this, or even seeks to is because its crap. I think a grammy should have gone to Cory Henry, or Snarky Puppy, you know - good new MUSIC, that blends gospel, jazz, blues, and pop into a unique style that FILLS halls throughout the world. You still wonder why its not on the radio? its RUBBISH, and boring, even on the first listen, predictable, and whiny shit.
The folk that judge these awards shat in my cheerios, thanks! they are either deaf, or stupid, probably both. So virtuous tho, never mind, she should have called it ''I cant sing'' and it may have been played on the radio a bit more as light comedy. Laughter is natures medicine.
Ugh, bunch of rioters doing nothing and not helping much, sadly blm has done more for the black community with the help of trump, donating for the organizers to buy houses, Burn Loot and Murder

By addressing it and rebuilding a broken system, we can work to make our country better, rather than merely covering up our racist policys to appear as polished to the outside world.
✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 all lives can’t matter until black lives matter! This video had me in tears I’m so glad that artists like H.E.R are making a difference in this movement

Have you thought that maybe, just maybe. That the police take more brutality than the civilians. Be thankful they ain't putting they're real bullets in you.
I have tears in my eyes. This is so powerful. I am scared every time my kids leave the house. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! THANK YOU H.E.R. for using your platform.
A lot of comments saying they just heard of this song because of the Grammys. I mean does this song really to be popular to win? Grammy Awards is not a fan-voted awards. Song of the Year is an award given to the songwriter and this song deserved it so much.
Absolutly, but this song only won, because the grammys wanted to make a statement. The message is great, but it still sounds like a average song. It doesn't have a unique style.
Exactly. People think that the only songs that should get grammys are overwhelmingly popular ones. This song deserves a Grammy because it actually speaks about an important subject
Because it's just good, not amazing, but good. For this reason it got good viewes. After it won an award for political reasons only, it will get a bit more views, but everyone will forget this piece because it's not THAT good as you imagine it. Art full of bised politics agenda can't make it to be a timeless classic
"let's choose a black artist with a song about black community even though people never heard about it or her so they will never think we're racist and treat all race equally"
Or you could think about the possibility that this song is good and actually does deserve a Grammy while simultaneously recognizing that the grammy awards and the recording academy are still very racist. Like the rest of us
Why can't certain people just enjoy this song without worrying about what skin color the singer has? No matter H.E.R's ethnicity, this song deserves the grammy. If she were Irish, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, Domincan, Columbian, Panamanian, African, Jamacian, Romanian, Swedish, a mix of all or some of them, IT WOULDN'T CHANGE THE MESSAGE OF THIS SONG.
@@leonkurto i was surprised too. I never followed the Grammys before so I thought it was supposed to be most popular song, but then i thought i just didn't know how the Grammy's worked. My personal fave was Billie Eilish's "Everything I Wanted."
“An artists duty as far as I’m concerned is to reflect the times” ~ Nina Simone It’s safe to say that’s exactly what she did with this song truly amazing ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🙏🏾
Honest to God truth right there... I’m from MN, I went down the weekend after Floyd passed and I’ve got to say hearing this song it’s hard as hell not to cry.. I ache for the world to change its heart..😭😣
@LiveLaughLove Same right?! Don't get me wrong I really love H.E.R. but this song was not on my radar. They just do this to make statements. Love your name btw ❤️🇳🇱
Completely disagree. This song is powerful and so important for people to hear . It’s MORE THAN deserving of winning of winning Song Of The Year and I’m glad it did !
This comment section was so good before Grammys. Now it’s full with disappointed fans who are trying to insult this song just because the artist they like didn’t win. I mean I’m not saying that I don’t think making this song of the year wasn’t fully a political move. BUT, this song is amazing and many people loved it and were moved by it since it came out. Just because you didn’t know this song doesn’t mean no one knew. As a person who was really touched by this song back in summer and cried my eyes out, I’m really happy for H.E.R. Congrats on your masterpiece girl. Русским умникам: Мне стыдно читать ваши коменты. Сначала узнайте историю за этой песней и историю этого парня. Если BLM и наделал шума и принёс хаос, это должно было случиться рано или поздно. Вам никогда не понять какого жить цветным людям в некоторых «белых» странах.
I can see why this song was named best song of the year for its message and voice. Y’all gotta admit it’s better than something that’s not vocal on something this truthful about things going on now
@@marekmalik394 no it isn’t, you just can’t wrap your ignorant mind around the fact that there is racial inequality happening everywhere and some people are actually brave enough to speak up and do things about it
@@lilhuntxd you as well, please stop this. It won't bring us as a society anywhere when you keep distracting, trying to make a joke out of everything. So disconnected from empathy and an urge to do something right, a need for justice, that you can actually feel in your stomach. I can relate to the actual comment, I had goosebumps with this song and I wonder if you don't and, if not, why?
Not trying to be offensive mate, but over the years black lives matter protests changed nothing, so this riot is pointless and is just a way to take down businesses, even protestors harassed people that didnt support the BLM community soo..
You're good, Queen; I'm hoping one day that instead of my crying bitter tears of frustration and rage every time I hear this song, I will cry tears of relief that it's finally "over". But I'm sure I'll be dead before there's real justice and equality for my people.
a song doesn't required millions of views, just the message through lyrics is enough,. song of the year indeed. im happy I'd found such a meaningful song
So young and so talented and wise...she creates from the soul...she reminds me of Tracy Chapman, Ndgeocello, Alicia Keys, Badu, the Roots,...but better. Keep growing girl! You are so pure, beautiful, strong...
Been a fan years back and just so happy that H.E.R. has been recognized in Grammy for song of the year. Well deserved. 👍🏻🎖 Song full of passion, courage, hope, drive to be included, will to be heard, and so much more!
For all you folks saying this shouldn't be Song of the Year because YOU haven't heard it: Officially, this is a **songwriter** award, meant to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency, and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position. Radio play or even audience awareness are not part of the decision-making here; it's other artists in the field who decide the best songwriting of the year. For awards based on popularity or ubiquity, watch the Billboards or the AMAs. Or the People's Choice Awards. Will you be happier if BTS won the top prizes?
Agenda is evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one agenda and another… I’d rather not choose at all. Steve Jobs
What was your point by bringing BTS into this?? BTS' music is just as good and high quality They use their platform to spread good messenge I'm very confused by what you meant by would we be happier if BTS won it yes i would've been happier if BTS won the top prizes because they rightfully deserved them Now this song deserved it as well and no BTS fan argued against it but don't fucking act like BTS weren't snubbed as well just because of their ethnicity and the stigma the academy has against boybands Y'all preach about racism but when it comes to an Asian artist you're just like the white racists thinking western artists are more qualified and superior to Asians
So why would u mention bts music? Tell me how many albums or theirs did u listen to?which ones?huh?? Can't believe even in 2021 now people make opinions out of prejudice. Not only are they popular but a non English band out of nowhere are popular for a reason too.They have good quality music,lyrics,cool rappers,vocals, concepts.Idk wts people problem.
@@sanjanamathamshetty3542 prejudice doesn't not come out of nowhere, pal. technically it's low-quality shit, virtually - popular shit for basic socialization and nothing more. you gotta be a real naive degenerate if you appreciate this kind of mass culture, defend it with such passion, while basing your pre-argument on (kekw) prejudice

So proud that H.E.R. won Song of The Year. The lyricisms that her and Tiara Thomas wrote together is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. This award isn’t about popularity its about the lyrics. Popularity is Record Of The Year. She worked for over a 11 years to be at this point in her career.

Totally Bullshit, its just a average song which got the Grammy only because political issues
That soulful voice is what seperates you from the rest.
Why isn't this video more popular, people need to see this.
It is, but this is the third video she has put out for this song. The others had loads of views but this is the official video just brought out now.

Because it's just good, not amazing, but good. For this reason it got good viewes. After it won an award for political reasons only, it will get a bit more views, but everyone will forget this piece because it's not THAT good as you imagine it. Art full of bised politics agenda can't make it to be a timeless classic
Dude this song is trash, it only won because of political resons😂😂😂
"let's choose a black artist with a song about black community even though people never heard about it or her so they will never think we're racist and treat all race equally"
@@wendy7423 stfu
Or you could think about the possibility that this song is good and actually does deserve a Grammy while simultaneously recognizing that the grammy awards and the recording academy are still very racist. Like the rest of us
@@pablosalazar7727 stfu
@@pablosalazar7727 🤣nope
I agree
Why can't certain people just enjoy this song without worrying about what skin color the singer has? No matter H.E.R's ethnicity, this song deserves the grammy. If she were Irish, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, Domincan, Columbian, Panamanian, African, Jamacian, Romanian, Swedish, a mix of all or some of them, IT WOULDN'T CHANGE THE MESSAGE OF THIS SONG.
isn't the grammys about popular songs and basiclly mainstream? cus almost no one heard this before i'm guessing.. lol
@@leonkurto i was surprised too. I never followed the Grammys before so I thought it was supposed to be most popular song, but then i thought i just didn't know how the Grammy's worked. My personal fave was Billie Eilish's "Everything I Wanted."
H.E.R has been the best talent in America for years now...
No justice, no peace✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
this is so good. The way she talks so naturally and fluently at the end while still keeping a groove over the rhythm, wow.
This song and video were beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes.

Congratulations HER - Song of the Year - Grammy 2021 Winner!
I'm not black neither American yet this song made me cry so hard for that situation if you didn't have chills by this video you're dead inside
Same here!!
Me too
I get goosebumps
Honest to God truth right there... I’m from MN, I went down the weekend after Floyd passed and I’ve got to say hearing this song it’s hard as hell not to cry.. I ache for the world to change its heart..😭😣

It's been many years since I've heard a song that enters my soul...and makes me cry...the best song in the world
thank you H.E.R
H.E.R voice is so soothing and it's what we need right now...
Only here bc I thought she got a Grammy for “damage” and it was for this song that I never heard before
@LiveLaughLove Same right?! Don't get me wrong I really love H.E.R. but this song was not on my radar. They just do this to make statements.
Love your name btw ❤️🇳🇱

Yeah this song doesn’t deserve song of the year. Sorry not sorry 🤷
........Song of the year or not......this will never get the airplay song of the year is supposed to get........
Completely disagree. This song is powerful and so important for people to hear . It’s MORE THAN deserving of winning of winning Song Of The Year and I’m glad it did !
I love the Fact H.E.R use her platform to bring awareness And i love the message behind the song love you H.E.R God bless 🙏♥
This is such a good song, she really deserved the award
Ya definitely 👍
I've never heard it or her, only 1.7 mil views really ain't nothing. Its a good song and message but she didn't deserve this.

This comment section was so good before Grammys. Now it’s full with disappointed fans who are trying to insult this song just because the artist they like didn’t win. I mean I’m not saying that I don’t think making this song of the year wasn’t fully a political move. BUT, this song is amazing and many people loved it and were moved by it since it came out. Just because you didn’t know this song doesn’t mean no one knew. As a person who was really touched by this song back in summer and cried my eyes out, I’m really happy for H.E.R. Congrats on your masterpiece girl.

You can’t lie that before it won nobody knew about this
Grammies is rigged anyways.. This song only one because of it's outlandish message, other then that its not really that good
It's a Powerful song & message ❤️ She's a Prolific Writer. It's derived from heart, thought and the depts of her soul.
dang...she cant breathe and she still sings? Thats dedication right there..
I can see why this song was named best song of the year for its message and voice. Y’all gotta admit it’s better than something that’s not vocal on something this truthful about things going on now
That song is cringe
It's just the grammys showing they are "with us" they really don't care, as long as it makes them money

The fact there is already dislikes, how heartless can people be:(
equal rights equal fights
For all you folks saying this shouldn't be Song of the Year because YOU haven't heard it:
Officially, this is a **songwriter** award, meant to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency, and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position.
Radio play or even audience awareness are not part of the decision-making here; it's other artists in the field who decide the best songwriting of the year. For awards based on popularity or ubiquity, watch the Billboards or the AMAs. Or the People's Choice Awards. Will you be happier if BTS won the top prizes?
Agenda is evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one agenda and another… I’d rather not choose at all.
Steve Jobs
What was your point by bringing BTS into this??
BTS' music is just as good and high quality
They use their platform to spread good messenge
I'm very confused by what you meant by would we be happier if BTS won it
yes i would've been happier if BTS won the top prizes because they rightfully deserved them
Now this song deserved it as well and no BTS fan argued against it but don't fucking act like BTS weren't snubbed as well just because of their ethnicity and the stigma the academy has against boybands
Y'all preach about racism but when it comes to an Asian artist you're just like the white racists thinking western artists are more qualified and superior to Asians
So why would u mention bts music?
Tell me how many albums or theirs did u listen to?which ones?huh??
Can't believe even in 2021 now people make opinions out of prejudice.
Not only are they popular but a non English band out of nowhere are popular for a reason too.They have good quality music,lyrics,cool rappers,vocals, concepts.Idk wts people problem.
@@sanjanamathamshetty3542 prejudice doesn't not come out of nowhere, pal. technically it's low-quality shit, virtually - popular shit for basic socialization and nothing more. you gotta be a real naive degenerate if you appreciate this kind of mass culture, defend it with such passion, while basing your pre-argument on (kekw) prejudice
@@frbeast1400 so tell wt albums did u listen??Now after watching their fans and stuff u might think that way.They have good music and are passionate, versitile and wt not.
Ok bro that was my opinion.so wt albums made u feel like it's low quality and wt are the loopholes??It's not prejudice u know very detailed abt their music right?

Nah
Starting a war, screaming, "Peace" at the same time
All the corruption, injustice, the same crimes
Always a problem if we do or don't fight
And we die, we don't have the same right
What is a gun to a man that surrenders?
What's it gonna take for someone to defend her?
If we all agree that we're equal as people
Then why can't we see what is evil?
I can't breathe
You're taking my life from me
I can't breathe
Will anyone fight for me?
How do we cope when we don't love each other?
Where is the hope and the empathy? (Yeah)
How do we judge off the color?
The structure was made to make us the enemy (yeah)
Prayin' for change 'cause the pain makes you tender
All of the names you refuse to remember
Was somebody's brother, friend
Or a son to a mother that's crying, singing
I can't breathe
You're taking my life from me
I can't breathe
Will anyone fight for me? (Yeah)
Will anyone fight for me?
Trying times all the time
Destruction of minds, bodies, and human rights
Stripped of bloodlines, whipped and confined
This is the American pride
It's justifying a genocide
Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed
That made America the land of the free
To take a black life, land of the free
To bring a gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights
You are desensitized to pulling triggers on innocent lives
Because that's how we got here in the first place
These wounds sink deeper than the bullet
Your entitled hands could ever reach
Generations and generations of pain, fear, and anxiety
Equality is walking without intuition
Saying the protector and the killer is wearing the same uniform
The revolution is not televised
Media perception is forced down the throats of closed minds
So it's lies in the headlines
And generations of supremacy resulting in your ignorant, privileged eyes
We breathe the same and we bleed the same
But still, we don't see the same
Be thankful we are God-fearing
Because we do not seek revenge
We seek justice, we are past fear
We are fed up eating your shit
Because you think your so-called "Black friend"
Validates your wokeness and erases your racism
That kind of uncomfortable conversation
Is too hard for your trust-fund pockets to swallow
To swallow the strange fruit hanging from my family tree
Because of your audacity
To say all men are created equal in the eyes of God
But disparage a man based on the color of his skin
Do not say you do not see color
When you see us, see us
We can't breathe
Yessssssss baby girl 🤗
Thanks :)
We love you from morocco 🇲🇦 ❤️❤️❤️
It’s crazy to me that this still hasn’t gotten much recognition.

Exactly my point, smh it's like the song cnt even breathe either this song should be about 50mil
It's propaganda
because its bland and generic song(but with actual theme nobody cares about)
A real artist- producing songs that actually have meaning. Words that have deep meaning. And not just making songs to become a "hit" or to be "famous"

So proud that H.E.R. won Song of The Year. The lyricisms that her and Tiara Thomas wrote together is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. This award isn’t about popularity its about the lyrics. Popularity is Record Of The Year. She worked for over a 11 years to be at this point in her career. H.E.R. definitely deserves it with no and’s, if’s, or but’s about it.
The chorus is on an another level.
Literally can't stop playing this song. My love for H.E.R is from such content. This is literally timeless
