shouldn't have to play Madonna and Young M.C. We really wanted to create a song that was made for and by queer women all over.

Keep On Livin' "Keep On Livin'" is a song about "both forms of coming out", as an abuse survivor and/or as an LGBT person, and moving on from the hardships of it.

Andy Battaglia of The A.V. Club wrote "Hanna is a crafty writer who can give song lyrics the weight of a master's thesis, but she often sounds tired and resigned this time out" and that the
