Where is whip my hair on the charts

Follow Billboard. All rights reserved. Willow marked the release of her new album, Lately I Feel Everything , with a virtual concert that ended with a powerful moment. The singer, who was joined onstage by Travis Barker and Avril Lavigne elsewhere in her Lately I Feel Everything concert set that premiered on Friday July 16 , left her "favorite song in the set" for last: a rock take on her pop breakthrough, "Whip My Hair.

I was just expressing myself," Willow said during the concert special. She continued: "The core of 'Whip My Hair' is the core idea of all of my music. The genre just changes. But I'm saying the same thing every single time. For so many years, I just kind of spiraled and didn't understand that and wanted to push myself away from that without having that understanding: I'm pushing away the very thing that is who I am. I feel like 'Whip My Hair' was just a huge encouragement to people to just be themselves and help others do the same.

Of shaving her head for the show -- which also recently inspired her mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, to do the same -- Willow noted, "This is gonna be my third time in my life shaving my head. I'm always shaving my head at monumental times in my life, when things are really changing, and this is definitely one of those moments. Willow had her head shaved as she sat in a chair onstage, playing guitar at the very end of the "Whip My Hair.

I think we managed to create a fresh expression using Willow's amazing energy, a positive and inspiring concept, and mixing the colors of the sets with Willow's fashion, which consisted of custom-made clothing and exclusive One Z jumpsuits. She's a trendsetter already and I'm sure others will be copying her style soon! A teaser video released on September 16, received 1.

A day after release, the video had reportedly garnered over , views on YouTube. The video begins in a futuristic cafeteria with kids, dubbed the "Warriorettes", [32] sitting down at grey tables in white clothing. She uses her hair as a paintbrush, bringing colour to the drab room. She alternates different hairstyles, walking down a hallway with her backup dancers. Willow 'whips' her hair to give colour to the lockers and the students' attire, before performing choreography with the hallway students.

Midway, Smith and her dancers perform a dance routine with music not in the original song. The last scenes shows Smith, wearing puff braids and a yellow jumpsuit, trying to get her backup singers to dance in a classroom, which is intercut with more paint-splashing scenes as the dancers, including her brother Jaden and actor Cameron Boyce , [35] teachers, the janitor, an elderly lady, and a toddler dance. Natalie Finn of E!

Online commended the video for being "sassy, yet kid friendly". A writer for Idolator said that Willow, in the video, "has transcended from Jada and Will Smith's 9-year-old kiddo to a legitimate star", noting, "the killer outfits, fun classroom dance pieces and, yes, tons of hair whipping -- with paint!

Matt Cherrete and Chris Ryan of MTV Buzzworthy said the video lived up to the "energy" and "power" of the track, commenting that it contained the "most inspiring and awesome youth power dancing, hair whipping and floor stomping that you're going to see all day".

Music said that "among the many dancers in the clip", Smith "shines as the clear breakout star", calling the video a "smash", and commented that "she pulls it off without need for cameo appearances from her famous parents. In , Smith debuted a punk version of the song, and had her head shaved while performing it live on stage.

In September , a fan-made mash-up of the video and a Sesame Street segment appeared online. The original Sesame Street clip featured a puppet portrayed as a young black girl proud of her hair. She flails her braids, cornrows, afro, and other Black hairstyles. You can put it in ponytails. You can put it in cornrows.

I wish I had hair like you. Veronica Miller of NPR commented that through both clips, "little black girls [were] having the best week ever", noting the rarity that "little African-American girls are publicly celebrated for their uniqueness and beauty", due to non-positive comments about their physical appearance, making them question individual and collective beauty.

In , the song was used as a "lip-sync for your life" song on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race , during the seventh episode "RuPaul Roast".
