Fiona Apple Writes Protest Song for Women’s March on Washington

Singer-songwriter Fiona Apple has written another song dedicated to Donald Trump, just in time for the Women’s March that will take place on Saturday. The one-minute-long song is called “Tiny Hands,” and was composed with Michael Whalen. The song, which is more like a chant, will be used by protesters on the streets of Washington, D.C. the day after the inauguration. Thousands of people are planning to attend the rally, which is meant to “send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women’s rights are human rights.” Co-founder Tamika Mallory pointed out that the effort is not anti-Trump, it’s pro-women.

We predict that this song will be hummed a lot in the near future.
