“Cheerleader” is a brat pop anthem about female empowerment and countering the stereotypes and unrealistic expectations of women. In an interview with PopBuzz, Ashnikko mentions the growing derogatory remarks of women and femme-presenting people online as inspiration for the song:
I think [I was] r...
[Verse 1]
Game face on, hit the pose like perfect
Smack my face on the pavement, nurses
Stitch me up, send me back out to dance
Pick my shorts out my ass with my blood-stained hands
KO'd, came to, felt a little funny
Heart full of spiders, legs made of gummy
Who do I have to kill to make everybody love me?
I want it, I'll win it, call it ambition
[Pre-Chorus]
Feed the beast on broken dreams
Pheromones, amphetamines
Drama queen make murder scenes
Cut throats and I feel bеtter
[Chorus]
Hate me 'causе I'm beautiful, bitch, I don't like you either
Cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader
Tell me how my ass tastes, little bottom feeder
Cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader
Hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, bitch, I don't like you either
Cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader
Honey, I'm the lead role, you don't even feature
B-R-I-N-G I-T O-N, bring it on, bitch
[Verse 2]
Sexy, cute, popular to boot
Cup of Drano, lips turn blue
Filler, snip and glue
Am I fuckable enough for you?
I'm not a girl, I'm a swarm of bees
Wrapped in a skin suit, perfect teeth
God made me pretty, you made me mean
I brought a blade to the dance routine
[Pre-Chorus]
Feed the beast on broken dreams
Pheromones, amphetamines
Drama queen make murder scenes
Cut throats and I feel better
Body bags and limousines
Gorgeous girls, guillotines
Drama queen make murder scenes
Cut throats and I feel better
[Chorus]
Hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, bitch, I don't like you either
Cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader
Tell me how my ass tastes, little bottom feeder
Cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader
Hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, bitch, I don't like you either
Cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader, cheerleader
Honey, I'm the lead role, you don't even feature
B-R-I-N-G I-T O-N, bring it on, bitch
[Outro]
B-R-I-N-G I-T O-N, bring it on, bitch
B-R-I-N-G I-T O-N, bring it on, bitch
B-R-I-N-G I-T O-N, bring it on, bitch
B-R-I-N-G I-T O-N, bring it on, bitch

It’s twisting this perfect cheerleader into a monstrosity. It’s a commentary on the need to be fuckable to be commercially viable, and I really do feel that pressure. It’s so tiring and played out. No matter how much logic I’ve built up in my head, there’s still some carnal part of my brain that say...
I used to be a cheerleader and a gymnast—hyper-feminine but also incredibly gruelling and painful sports. [You] put in hours and hours in training and hone your body to be this backflipping wonder of the world, but then there’s still this element of needing to be beautiful and cute in little shorts....
