Willow Smith has a new single out and it’s all about summer fun. The song, which is called “Summer Fling” is all about a summer love that while fairy-tale like, eventually comes to an end – or is at least about to, according to Willow<\/a>. The song is upbeat and has a fun-loving video to go along with it, but some say it’s just inappropriate for her age. She is after all, only twelve years old.<\/p>\n

The song’s lyrics do point to much more mature subject matters than you’d hope a girl of that age would know about. “It’s just a couple months but we do it anyway,” she sings, along with “good night kisses if the mood is right.” But what does a girl who hasn’t even become a teenager yet know about such intimate things? It seems she doesn’t, as the video is filled with actors who are clearly acting along with Willow – and who are also clearly much older than she.<\/p>\n

Another thing that seems to have angered critics, along with the too-old-for-her lyrics, is the fake British accent she puts on during one of the song’s lines, “Thanks for the summer fling\/It was nice.” Some wonder how the accent fits into the song at all, while others are calling it a Taylor Swift rip-off from when she opened the Grammys and used the same kind of accent.<\/p>\n

So is Willow’s latest just too mature for her age? Listen to it here<\/a> on YouTube and check out the video at the same time, and decide for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
