Outkast released "Hey Ya!" #onthisday #history #trivia
73Fun Fact: Polaroid issued a warning because Modern Polaroid film is sealed and shaking does nothing to speed up the process and vigorous shaking can damage the image.
Finance Fact: Polaroid was in financial trouble shortly before the songs release with their market share being devoured by digital cameras. They cut deals to work with Outkast and were able to get a short term boost if not in sales then in prestige but eventually declared bankruptcy for the second time in 2008.
The Lyrics of “Hey Ya!” begin to describe the protagonist's concerns and doubts about a romantic relationship. He wonders if they are staying together just "for tradition", as in the lines "But does she really wanna [mess around] / But can't stand to see me / Walk out the door?" André 3000 commented, "I think it's more important to be happy than to meet up to...the world's expectations of what a relationship should be. So this is a celebration of how men and women relate to each other in the 2000s". During the second verse, the protagonist gets cold feet and wonders what the purpose of continuing the relationship is, pondering the question, "If they say nothing is forever...then what makes love the exception?"
