“Angry Too” is about feminist rage that keeps rising despite the singer’s attempts to suppress it. Lola Blanc wrote the song in 2018 in response to the large number of stories of sexual harrassment and sexual assault brought to light by the #MeToo movement. She told L'Officiel USA:
“Angry Too” was...
[Verse 1]
I buried the unseemly urges
Deep down in the ground with the roots
But it's all coming up to the surface
Maybe it's getting ready to bloom
And I don't wanna be a monster in the making
I don't wanna be more bitter than sweet
I don't know how to be just standing by blankly
Not gettin' angry
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause another and another comin' up out of the gutter
Till I'm drowning in an ocean of entitled motherfuckers
And they're pushin' all my buttons
But they never seem to wonder why
Another and another, ask each other
[Chorus]
And does it get your blood boilin', does it make you see red?
Do you wanna destroy it?
Does it get in your head?
'Cause it gets my blood boilin' and I’m coming unglued
It would eat you like poison if you knew what I knew
You would be angry too
[Verse 2]
I'm seeing through crimson sunglasses
I'm breathing and counting to 10
I guess I'm fresh out of free passes, they'll pay if it happens again
And I don't wanna drink the venom they made me
I don't wanna be controlled by the past
Boy if you were me, could you really blame me?
Would make you crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause another and another coming up out of the gutter
Till I'm drowning in an ocean of entitled motherfuckers
And they're pushin' all my buttons
But they never seem to wonder why
Another and another, ask each other
[Chorus]
Does it get your blood boiling, does it make you see red? (Does it make you see red?)
Do you wanna destroy it? (Destroy it)
Does it get in your head? (In your head)
'Cause it gets my blood boiling and I’m comin' unglued
It would eat you like poison if you knew what I knew
You would be angry
[Bridge]
Calm down girl, why you so mad?
Why's your heart gone rotten?
It's all good girl, why you upset?
Guess they have forgotten what they did
[Chorus]
And does it get your blood boilin' and does it make you see red?
And do you wanna destroy it?
Does it get in your head?
'Cause it gets my blood boiling and I’m coming unglued
It would eat you like poison if you knew what I knew
You would be angry, you would be angry
You would be angry, you would be angry too
