The typical audience for this song would be teenage boys from the age of 13 to 19 years old, in groups C-E on the socio-economic model. This song attracts this certain type of audience due to it having a rap style being usually about girls. This song objectifies women, we know this because in the music video the women are in bikinis looking sexy as if that is all they're good at. However this is typically what lads are interested in, therefore this song attracts them. The uses and gratification for this audience is purely for entertainment purposes due to being able to relax and escape from reality when listening to it. Although the preferred audience for this song is teenage boys and some teenage girls, the oppositional audience would be old people, stereotypically 40 years and older.
