Halsey isn't alone-- many women (famous or not) can relate to this song. She's headed straight for the castle (the top, the finish line, her goal, success, etc.) and there's an old guy trying to put her down. It's the stigma of a woman being successful and taking the place of/surpassing/dethroning a man. Women are often told to smile, look pretty, keep their mouth shut, etc. It's often not even noticed, as we're so used to it, but when we call them out on it, we're being bitchy. We're being mean. Well, she's had enough. She's headed straight for the castle.

@Jenlar7983 I completely agree! Sometimes this happens to all of us.
