Kathy Moxley, director of the Gender + Equality Center, explained that the song was chosen to raise awareness during 'Stalking Awareness Month.' "To begin a much needed conversation about harassment on college campuses, the University of Oklahoma Gender + Equality Center used popular songs that students listen to, to attract students' attention and to bring awareness to subtle messages in popular song lyrics," Moxley said."The music examples were used to demonstrate how aspects of popular media could be interpreted to normalize unhealthy relationship behaviours," she added.
