Lyrical Sunshine is about feeling good, sending out good vibes and creating good energy. That includes loving yourself, feeling self-confident and telling the world what makes you fabulous. Milkshake, by Kelis, is that song. Those words, "I could teach you, but I have to charge" is that phrase. I sing out that line and I KNOW I'm that Queen. You can't tell me otherwise!
Written and produced by the Neptunes, it was released as the lead single from Tasty in 2003. According to Kelis, "A milkshake is the thing that makes a woman special. It's what gives us our confidence and what makes us exciting." My milkshake may be my confidence. Although, it could be my hair, it's looking good lately. It could be anything that makes me want to move and groove. That's the beauty of the "milkshake". It could be ANY quality that you like about yourself. What's your milkshake?
The song was featured on Gap's Fall 2025 campaign called "Better in Denim" featuring global girl group Katseye. Its dance became viral on social media. Katseye's performance embodied the spirit of the song. Adorable, sassy and for sure made me want to buy some new jeans. Go find it and watch, you'll be doing the dance in no time!
Next time you're feeling a little down on yourself (it happens to us all!), listen to Milkshake and move to the beat. You'll no doubt shake it off and regain your mojo by the end the song. It's empowering lyrics are ones to scream out until you believe them. Go for it!
Sing Your Song!
