about
"Yes Means Yes' written by Damian Hayes (bass guitar) and Hannah DiMo (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) is a song about consent that should not be ignored. Watching the #MeToo movement grow DiMo and Hayes decided it was time to add their own voices and experience to the social and musical conversation. "Music has a way of making people feel things that they otherwise may not have" says DiMo , "So, when Damian brought the first draft of Yes Means Yes to me, I knew we had to get it out to the public as soon as possible, this is a message that everyone needs to hear and share." With an overwhelming response from audiences everywhere they play this new hit single, it is clear that Yes Means Yes has struck a chord with the public that will only continue to grow and get louder. The song touches on topics such as being content with being alone at a bar, wearing whatever you want for yourself and no one else without getting accused of "asking for it", and reminding people that only a verbal "Yes" means consent, if their is no "yes" then the answer is always "No."
This song is an empowering statement that DiMo hopes to encourage the public with. Stressing that although women often go through a lot of the experiences mentioned in the song, consent always is and always will be for everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality or identification. "It is important that we remind people that manipulative or pushy behavior is no longer acceptable in this new reality we live in called the present" DiMo insists, "the more we talk about it, the less phrases like 'boys will be boys' or 'locker room' behaviors will be accepted, resulting in safer and more consensual situations for everyone. Consent is sexy!" Listen to "Yes Means Yes " now and keep up with DiMo and her band on Facebook at "Hannah DiMo" Instagram "@hannahdimo" and her website www.hannahdimo.com.
lyrics
Yes Means Yes Means Yes Means Yes
If I don't say "yes" I mean "no"
I might look cute but we all know
Yes Means Yes and No Means No
It's Friday night and I know I look fine
Gonna have some fun
Yeah, ya know my type and I got this
I'm just fine on my own
Just cause I'm not with you
Doesn't mean I'm alone
I didn't wear this to tease ya
Didn't wear it to please ya
I wore this for me
So, just remember
If you wanna take me home
Just remember
If you wanna take me home
Yes Means Yes Means Yes Means Yes
If I don't say "yes" I mean "no"
I might look cute but we all know
Yes Means Yes and No Means No
So, I'm sittin' at the bar
And I know you wanna talk
But I'm not in the mood for talkin'
So you better take a walk
But you think you're cute
So you're flirting anyway
But when I said "No, thank you"
I meant "Please go away"
And just remember
Since you wanna take her home
Oh, just remember
Since you're tryna take her home
Yes Means Yes Means Yes Means Yes
If I don't say "yes" I mean "no"
I might look cute but we all know
Yes Means Yes and No Means No
Unless I ask you for it I'm not
"Asking for it"
Don't assume I'm yours
Cause you like what I got
Oh no, unless I ask you for it I'm not
"Asking for it"
Last time I checked
Clothes don't talk!
Yes Means Yes Means Yes Means Yes
If I don't say "yes" I mean "no"
I might look cute but we all know
Yes Means Yes and No Means No
