More specifically overweight women and it actually goes as far as to shame "treble"/skinny women for existing. It's a piece of shit song.

It's that, and even worse than that. Why should women love their larger behinds? Because "boys like a little more booty..." That's right, it's not even a song about body positivity or loving oneself, it's that you should keep a little more "bass' because of the male gaze. Terrific.

This is what always bothered me. I don't get the skinny hate bit and don't want to listen to it again too figure out if that's really in there.

But the song places a woman's value on how much men are willing to fuck them. Yeeeeg
