Um, Jennifer?'s latest single, "Went On T", is a raw and powerful anthem of self-empowerment and personal transformation. Here, the New York City-based punk-tinged indie rock duo of Elijah Scarpati and Fig Regan delivers a track that combines gritty guitar licks and playful rhythms with deeply introspective lyrics.
The song opens with an intimate confession: "Went on T / As you began to love me / And man did that fuck with the / Attachment in my head." The lyrics, which see the persona grappling with the complexities of change and acceptance, poignantly capture their fears and concerns and those of the people around them, with lines like, "You worried / That I'd change too drastically / Be someone else suddenly / The old me good as dead."
In "Went On T", Um, Jennifer? masterfully convey a sense of defiance and self-assurance in the face of external doubts. The recurring chorus, "No one knows me like I know my goddamn self / So I ignore the things they say when they're 'trying to help,'" is a powerful reminder of self-trust and inner strength. "My voice is sexier and / My biceps are bigger than / Your stupid cis boyfriend's," the narrator quips, underscoring their celebration of physical changes and newfound confidence.
The raw energy of the music amplifies the song's themes, making "Went On T" not only a personal narrative but also an anthem for anyone embracing their true self. This new track from Um, Jennifer? is an unapologetic declaration of identity and transformation.

Sam is a mediocre artist, musician, and the founder and editor in chief of UNXIGNED. He is a Juris Doctor who leads an excitingly boring life in the confines of his room juggling studies with passion and dreams. He is terrible at finding balance but gets by anyhow. He wants you to follow his artist pages and channels for when he decides to up his game. Pretty open for collabs and will mix your would-be hit song for cheap.
