rdf:langString "Paper or Plastic"

rdf:langString "Paper or Plastic" is a song recorded by American singer Brooke Candy. It was written by Josh Cumbee, Shari Short, and Afshin Salmani, and produced by NONFICTION for Candy's unreleased album Daddy Issues. It was released as the fourth promotional single from the record. In 2017, Candy left RCA to focus on releasing a second extended play (EP), and the release of Daddy Issues was canceled. Moving away from her past rap sound from her 2014 EP Opulence, the track is a mid-tempo pop song revolving around issues relating to commercialism, superficiality, and capitalism. In the lyrics, Candy sings about how women must abandon their innocence to get an independent life. Critical response to "Paper or Plastic" was mixed; some music critics praised the sound while another criticized it alongside the other promotional singles for the album. Darren Craig directed the song's music video, which Candy envisioned as a satire on political and socioeconomic repression of women and misogyny. In the video, Candy appears with a group of oppressed women who rise up against a tyrannical man and shoot him with golden rifles. The visual attracted critical attention from media commentators, who discussed the possible inspirations for the women and the setting. Critics positively responded to the music video, complimenting it as vibrant and outrageous.
