The four original 10-inch (25 cm) dolls were released on May 21, 2001 โ Yasmin, Cloe, Jade, and Sasha. They featured almond-shaped eyes adorned with eye shadow and lush and big glossy lips. Bratz reached great success with the expansion to spin-offs including Bratz Kidz, Bratz Boyz, Bratz Babyz and Bratzillaz and a media franchise consisting of discography and adaptations into a TV series, a web series, a live-action film and video games. Global sales of the entire franchise grossed $2 billion in 2005 and by the following year, the brand had about 40 percent of the fashion-doll market.
The Bratz doll lines have provoked controversy in several areas from their stylized proportions to fashion-forward clothing, capitalizing closely on pop culture trends. Since the brand's launch in 2001, franchise distributor MGA Entertainment got embroiled in a lengthy legal dispute with Mattel over the rights to its design, which ended in 2011 with MGA as the victors. Related litigation is ongoing in a lawsuit by MGA alleging Mattel's theft of trade secrets.
MGA has paused the Bratz brand since the onset of the litigation and rebranded it several throughout its lifespan, with the first of those coming in 2010 after Mattel's first lawsuit, only to return later that year to commemorate the brand's 10th anniversary. In 2013, Bratz changed to have a taller bodies, an all-new logo and branding, and continued through 2014, in an effort to return the brand to its roots. As a result, none of the 2014 product line was made available in North Americas.
In July 2015, Bratz relaunched a second time with new doll lines and introducing a new main character, Raya to the debut lineup from its 2001 launch as well as a new slogan and website design. The bodies were changed to be 10" (25 cm) tall again, but with new bodies and head molds. These dolls were met with negative reactions from fans, as the brand was more oriented towards younger kids rather than tweens and teens like the previous dolls. Due to the poor reception and sales, the dolls were once again discontinued in 2016.
In September 2018, a new line of dolls called "Bratz Collector" were designed by fashion illustrator Hayden Williams and released exclusively on Amazon. The brand featured closely resemblance to the original 2001 doll line. In June 2021, for their 20th anniversary, Bratz released near-replicas of the debut dolls from its 2001 launch.
Workin' Overtime
Bratz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got a lot of things that you gotta do
Working day and night
Feel like you never stop
Working overtime
All you really need is a little more time to
Get it right
Working overtime
That's when it feels like just too much
When it comes to time there can never be enough
Doing this, doing that, then you do some more
Finish one thing then you get another chore
Working overtime
You got a lot of things that you gotta do
Working day and night
Feel like you never stop
Working overtime
All you really need is a little more time to
Get it right
Working overtime
There never seems enough hours in the day
Everything you gotta do and all the time it takes
Busy busy, rush rush, tryin' to get it done
Never seem to catch your breath, always on the run
Working overtime
You got a lot of things that you gotta do
Working day and night
Feel like you never stop
Working overtime
All you really need is a little more time to
Get it right
Working overtime
And it never seems to end
One minute break and then you start again
What you need's a holiday
But all you seem to get is all work and no play
Working overtime
Working day and night
Working overtime
Time to get it right
Working overtime
You got a lot of things that you gotta do
Working day and night
Feel like you never stop
Working overtime
All you really need is a little more time to
Get it right
Working overtime
The Bratz's song "Working Overtime" describes the concept of having too much work to do and not enough time to do it. The lyrics express the feeling of being overwhelmed and the desire for just a little more time to get everything done. The repetition of the phrase "working overtime" emphasizes the idea that the work seems never-ending and requires constant effort.
The chorus of the song reinforces this idea, with the lyrics repeating the phrase "you got a lot of things that you gotta do" and "feel like you never stop" to convey the feeling of being constantly busy. The song suggests that there is always something that needs to be done, and that the pressure to do it all can be overwhelming.
The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope, with the suggestion that a break or holiday might provide the necessary relief from the constant work. However, the lyrics also imply that this relief might be hard to come by, with the phrase "all you seem to get is all work and no play."
Overall, "Working Overtime" is a relatable song that captures the stress and pressure of having too much to do and not enough time. However, the catchy chorus and upbeat tempo also suggest that it is possible to keep going and persevere through the workload.
