The song "Bag Lady" by Erykah Badu discusses how women who hold on to negative experiences and baggage from past relationships will end up hurting themselves. It advises women to let go of the past in order to feel better and be open to new love. The music video visually represents this message by depicting women literally carrying heavy bags and struggling with the weight of their emotional baggage from previous relationships. It reinforces that holding onto the past will prevent women from moving on to find happiness.
