Fuck Them All

Like all tracks from the album, the lyrics were written by the singer with music composed by Laurent Boutonnat.

As a result, it is often compared to Madonna (entertainer), Madonna's early 2000s songs. Using both crude and colorful lyrics, including sex and vulgarity, the song deals with the war between the sexes and was often considered a feminist plea in which women are presented as warriors.
