When talking about "Fight For You," H.E.R. said that the verses are talking about the struggle, pain, and "what it means to be fighting for someone or something" (via Los Angeles Times). While the song can be attributed to the Black Panther Party's fight for justice as a whole, the Grammy-winning artist also pointed out that the song has a deeper meaning about the relationship between Hampton and Deborah Johnson, who was also an activist.
As she puts it, "I think everybody is fighting for someone," which is why this song is so relatable. Not only does it fit well with the Judas and the Black Messiah, but "Fight For You" still rings true to this day when it comes to the Black Lives Matter movement. Last summer, H.E.R. released the protest song "I Can't Breathe" in the wake of all the BLM protests that happened after the death of George Floyd (via Variety). For that inspiring song, H.E.R. received a 2021 Grammy nomination for Song of the Year (via The Grammys). The Grammy Awards aren't until March 14, 2021, so we'll get to find out if the singer wins her Golden Globe for "Fight For You" first. Though, it's safe to say H.E.R. is already winning with all these nominations.
