The song has a nostalgic feel, like a hit from the 1980s. But it also has a modern dimension. The woman who sings it accepts that she’s not always a superwoman. She is autonomous in love; she loves herself as she is. She loves her own weaknesses. If someone wants to love her, she sets the tone.
The new film centers on Zoë Saldaña’s Rita who is tasked with assisting a crime boss in undergoing gender-affirming surgery to become a woman. After the transformation, the crime boss turned Perez seeks Rita’s help to reunite with her wife, Jessi (Gomez).
