Strip is a turning point. Were talking about stuff weve wanted to speak about for ages. Weve all suffered from body confidence and negative comments, and up until now we didnt really have a song we felt addressed everything we needed to, added Jesy, while Perrie said: We just want women to feel equal and incredible.
