Last month Lizzo returned with news of her Special album and shared the lead single "About Damn Time", and in a TikTok video shared earlier this month, a user called Patrick Hicks explains how Malcolm McLaren, a musician, clothes designer, boutique owner and manager of Sex Pistols/New York Dolls, has a songwriting credit on the 2022 single.

"About Damn Time" samples The World's Famous Supreme Team's "Hey DJ" track released in 1984, but according to Hicks, McLaren got a songwriting credit on Lizzo's song because "Hey DJ" features a line from "Buffalo Gals", a track by McLaren and The World's Famous Supreme Team that arrived in 1983. Watch Hicks explain it in full in the TikTok video below.
