A high-octane, unapologetic, and fiercely confident anthem of urban youth and street-smart swagger.

2. POSE (2018): The show embodies the same fierce competitive spirit, high fashion, and underground ballroom culture that informs the song's aesthetic.
3. Dope (2015): It reflects the intersection of urban street culture and modern digital-age confidence present in Banks' music.
4. Broad City (2014): It captures the hyper-active, fast-talking, and inherently New York sensibility of the song's voice.
5. Patti Cake$ (2017): Focuses on the grit, ambition, and musical fire of an underdog looking to make a mark in the rap world.
6. Heaven Knows What (2015): It provides a visceral, chaotic look at the New York City streets that serves as the gritty backdrop to the song's glossier production.
7. Gossip Girl (2007): Though tonally different, it captures the specific '212' zip code fixation and the high-status social maneuvering of Manhattan youth.
8. Tangerine (2015): Features the same relentless pace, street-level urgency, and bold, unfiltered female perspective found in 212.
