"The song is about the insecurities that riddle women, and the societal pressures that often encourage them," Teff Hinkson said to Noisey. "It's crazy moving between Barbados and Toronto and seeing all these beautiful girls affected by the same insecurities. I feel like I hit the nail on the head with the theme of this song. The world is on the Caribbean's eggplant emoji right now, if you get me. That makes my accent golden right now so my message should get across just fine." Watch "So Insecure" below:
