The lyrics of Ester Dean's "Drop It Low" are meant to empower and celebrate women who make money, own their bodies, and dance their way through life. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, encourages women to "drop it low" and shake their "booty" on the dance floor. The lyrics are both provocative and unapologetic, representing a form of feminist expression that celebrates female sexuality and agency.
The verses describe a man who is captivated by the main character's dancing and urges her to keep moving her body in ways that please him. Despite his demands and objectification of her, the main character remains in control and confident. She asserts herself as the "baddest bitch in the club" and flaunts her power over men. By asserting her sexual agency and expressing herself freely, the main character challenges traditional gender roles and expectations.
