We all know what the song means, it's pretty obvious. But let's take a step deeper into the lyrics and music video.
This is a direct indication of what the music industry has become. Sure, she's not romanticizing skinniness as most singers do, but she's romanticizing having a bit more weight just to grab the attention of an audience. That's all this song really is- an attention-seeking song. It has nothing to do with weight or anything- she's essentially using the media to get attention just like everyone else, hence the catchy music and lyrics.
It's kind of like reverse psychology, but reverse psychology by using the same concept. Her lyrics might advertise being yourself as opposed to being a big star, but they imply the idea that she's still using the media to put herself over the top. Essentially, I see this song having the same message as Lady Gaga or Katy Perry- seeking attention at its best.
I think the fact that she says "skinny bitches" really hurts her credibility for the audience she is trying to convey. This puts her no higher than anyone else on the music scale.

not at all. its a fresh style going on, like a 50s thing going on. i like it, she's talented and i could think oh no better song to be a debut song.
