The Rebecca Black Saturday single shows the commonly criticized viral star is more than a one-hit wonder. Black gained internet fame when her first music video, Friday, came about in 2011. Since then, the video has been watched hundreds of millions of times and parodied often.
Recently, Black released a reaction video to Friday where she expresses her regret over her previous creative endeavours in a self-deprecating and humorous way. The Rebecca Black Saturday music video alludes to her previous work, demonstrating her ability to laugh at herself and move on past the extensive bullying she experienced. From the bowl of cereal she must have to trouble picking car seats, Saturday is a fun and light-hearted sophomore effort.
Dave Days is also featured on the song, which is available for download on iTunes.
