St. Vincent has called John Mayer's 2004 hit "Daughters" the worst song ever written. When asked in a recent interview with Kerrang magazine what she felt the worst song ever written was, Clark, who released her latest album, "All Born Screaming," in April, said, "I think 'Daughters' by John Mayer is the worst song ever written. It's really sexist."

Clark did not elaborate on her reasons for disliking the song, but "Daughters" has been criticized for its lyrics, which some have interpreted as being objectifying and misogynistic. The song's narrator sings about a young girl who is "16 going on 17" and "still believes in fairy tales." He goes on to sing about how he wants to "take her home" and "make her mine."

Mayer has defended the song, saying that it is not about a sexual relationship but about a father-daughter relationship. However, many listeners have interpreted the song's lyrics differently.

Clark's comments about "Daughters" have sparked a debate on social media, with some people agreeing with her assessment of the song and others defending Mayer. It remains to be seen whether Clark's comments will have any impact on Mayer's career, but they have certainly sparked a conversation about the sexism that can be found in some popular music.
