In the 51^st edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2025), we break down “Motherfucker” performed by Spencer Sutherland.

“People talking to me / Don’t you tell me how to live my life, yeah.” Preach, Spencer Sutherland, preach! The handsome and talented Midwest indie pop musician continues in the first verse of the profanely titled “Motherfucker”, “I’m not changing my demeanor / Grass ain’t green on the other side.” That, folks, is what you call ‘sticking to your guns.’ Bang, bang! So, where does that double-jointed curse word come into play? More on that later! “Motherfucker” is the seventh track from Sutherland’s 2024 album, The Drama. He and Tyler Mead wrote it. Sutherland, Keaton Stromberg, and STORYBOARDS produced it.

“Everybody’s sayin’ I’m gon’ change at the drop of a dime.” Hmm, are you, Spencer? He responds to the chatter, “If I fake it to make it, at least I had a good time.” Of course, for us to have even more of a good time listening to “Motherfucker,” we need the actual word to pop up as a lyric, right? Right.  And, it does, during the chorus. With haters gonna hate, Sutherland asserts, “So, I’m gon’ say it / Oh hallelujah, I’m that motherfucker, yeah.” Damn straight! And if that wasn’t enough, Spencer solidifies his status as ‘that motherfucker’ with his stuttered vocals in the post chorus. On the bridge, Sutherland would rather be high than try…. In the final chorus, he adds a bit extra stank to being that MFer!  Beyond the lyrics, Spencer Sutherland proves he’s one bad motherfucker when it comes to singing.  His vocals are gritty, oozing with blues, soul, and the spirit of rock and roll.  He showcases power as well as a convincing, ripe falsetto. Adding to the excellence is a mean-sounding musical backdrop that features bluesy, honky-tonk piano and nasty-sounding guitars.  I’m with Spencer when he tells the pianist to “play that shit.” And that shit he plays indeed.  “Motherfucker” is ‘in your face’ and it’s a motherfucking epic experience 🤘!
