[edit] Song
Willa got the inspiration for her hip-hop and dancehall-fueled female empowerment anthem "A Toast to Men (F*ck the Men)", at a sorority party she had attended with some friends. At the party the sorority sisters got together and chanted, "Fuck the men, let's drink to us". The song, which was written by Tobias Gad, Rhonda N. Robinson and Willa, is about girls having fun. Instead of talking about how men screw girls over or how hot a guy is, it's like f*ck the men for the night, it's going to be all about us girls.
"A Toast to Men (F*ck the Men)" made news at radios, because of the title and how the DJs should pronounce it. In the radio edited version of the song the (F-word) was still a little obvious, but it was censored with a space/scratch noise in its place.
[edit] Video
There are two versions of the video, one censored and one uncensored. Both are similar with the concept of a sorority party.
Also the "A Toast to Men (F*ck the Men)" video was featured in promo spots during CBS's daytime programming.
