Rebecca Black - Personal (Official Music Video)  Rebecca Black is back with another new single for the year, this time a queer post-breakup anthem called ‘Personal’. Released yesterday (April 23), Black’s new glitchy pop track marks her third 2021 single. It serves as a send-off song to a relationship, in which she’s the one doing the dumping. In it, Black tells her ex she won’t take things personally and asks her to do the same. The song arrives alongside a music video, with Black going from a lingerie-clad lady of leisure by day to a diamond-crusted chainsaw wielder by night. |

Rebecca Black was only 13 when her infectious song “Friday” blew up the internet. A decade on, the now-23-year-old singer reflected on her breakout moment — plus the memes, remixes and negative fallout that followed. “My world changed in a lot of ways,” Black told The Post of her tumultuous 10 years. “It was exciting, overwhelming and a little insane.”  When “Friday” first dropped in 2011, the pre-teen party anthem garnered more than 166 million YouTube hits in several months and even landed the adolescent an appearance on Jay Leno’s “The Tonight Show.” Fellow teeny tuners tried to cash in on her success with similarly catchy ditties, including Nicole Westbrook’s “It’s Thanksgiving” and “Chinese Food” by Alison Gold. “A lot of people around me trying to capitalize,” exclaimed the unexpected celebrity, “and all of a sudden there were so many things that were brought into my life that were very adult.” Unfortunately, the young star’s newfound fame had a dark side: Detractors tore into the budding starlet over everything from her appearance to her voice.  “The criticisms were too inappropriate to say to somebody’s face, especially a child,” Black lamented to The Post. The bullying got so bad that Black received death threats and chose to be home-schooled to escape the taunts. And while Black continued to release songs — including the viral hits “My Moment” (2011), “Sing It” and “In Your Words (both in 2012) — she felt like something had to change. |
