SOUND

The diegetic and non diegetic sounds attract the target audience of 16-28 straight black or white women. The music video contains diegetic sounds in the words/lyrics that are influenced highly by the Butsch stereotype theory; "well-intentioned but dumb, all in a working-class series". The lyrics suggest that boys are incapable of being loyal, as Beyoncé says "Yeah you don't understand how it feels to love"
