T.a.t.u has become a lot more focused on social issues lately. Some of their songs kind of speak out about said social issues. In many places, and especially in the USA, people have become almost obsessed with being privy to all the intimate details of the lives of celebrities. Where I live we have 2 television shows back to back that report on all the latest celebrity gossip. Between that and the surge of reality television, its as if people have reached the point where they desire to be a fly on the wall in these people's lives. We have gone from couch potatoes to couch stalkers, spying on people most of us have never and will never meet. And for what? Some sick sense of satisfaction if the celebrity does something so stupid that it makes you feel better about yourself and the stuff you do?
I think this song is a commentary about our culture of full access celebrity gossip and armchair stalking. The desire to be a fly on the wall and know everything about these people.
