Cover art for XXXO lyrics by M.I.A.

xxxo=combination of hit and miss and sex+hugs and kisses. A double connotation talking about how the country wants stuff like slut music and not music about things that matter like poverty and traffiking and genocide. Jus kind of how I see it. They don't want her to be deep, but she is. So she isn't going to be the shallow star that they want, who only cares about money and image, because she's this star who's unique and off-color and deeply moved and concerned with more important things than how famous will my music be and how do I make this appealing for mass teenage consumption? She's so much more than most of the musicians around her.
