Singer Demi Lovato released a single on Thursday that was written to be an anthem in the “fight for reproductive justice.”
Her song “Swine” is meant to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which, while it was released on June 24, had been leaked previously. The decision removed the federal protection of the procedure and turned over the ability to legislate it to states.

“My life, my voice / My rights, my choice / It’s mine, or I’m just swine / My blood, my loins / My lungs, my noise / It’s mine, or I’m just swine,” the lyrics read.
“It’s been one year since the Supreme Court’s decision to dismantle the constitutional right to a safe abortion, and although the path forward will be challenging, we must continue to be united in our fight for reproductive justice,” Lovato wrote on Twitter. “I created ‘SWINE’ to amplify the voices of those who advocate for choice and bodily autonomy.”
“I want this song to empower not only the birthing people of this country, but everyone who stands up for equality, to embrace their agency and fight for a world where every person’s right to make decisions about their own body is honored,” she added.
