Mic reports that the infectious track was originally released back in 2012, but it didnt take off until 2014 when it was remixed by German DJ Felix Jaehn.

Jaehns rework of Cheerleader just went No.

United Kingdom this week, and according to Digital Spy, its also topped the charts in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

Theres no denying that Cheerleader is incredibly catchy, but unfortunately, its sexist lyrics are likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Cheerleader isnt nearly as overtly sexist as 2013s Song of the Summer, Robin Thickes Blurred Lines, for example, but its still troubling.

The breezy tune finds OMI, a 28-year-old singer, gushing about the woman of his dreams: a beautiful model who cheers him on from the sidelines and lives to serve, granting his every wish like a genie in a bottle.

Awww, thats so. barf-inducing Of course, theres nothing wrong with cheering onsupporting your partner and doing things that make them happy (obviously) but a relationship is a two-way street.

Cheerleaders notion of an ideal girlfriend is a woman who essentially remains in the background at all times, only emerging when her boyfriend wants something (motivation, lovin, etc.), which is, you know, terribly sexist.

Take a look at the lyrics: 1st VERSE: When I need motivation My one solution is my queen Cause she stay strong (yeah, yeah) She is always in my corner Right there when I want her All these other girls are tempting But Im empty when youre gone And they say.

PRE-CHORUS: Do you need me Do you think Im pretty Do I make you feel like cheating Im like, No, not really, cause.

CHORUS: Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her 2nd VERSE: She walks like a model She grants my wishes like a genie in a bottle (yeah, yeah) Cause Im the Wizard of Love And I got the magic wand All these other girls are tempting But Im empty when youre gone And they say.

Im being facetious.) I know it may seem silly to get so worked up over a three-minute pop song, but ask yourself: How often do we hear women sing about men like this I think its important to call out and challenge this kind of subtle sexism in pop culture.

Sadly, I dont have the strength to address the ridiculousness of Cheerleaders Wizard of Love line or OMIs reference to his magic wand.

To borrow an analogy from one of my closest friends, listening to Cheerleader is a lot like walking into a single-stall public bathroom right after the previous occupant has sheepishly bolted out the door: immediately, youre smacked in the face by a wall of just-sprayed air freshener.

In fact, it smells pretty good But after about 30 seconds, your nose begins to pick up on the underlying stink.

Tuesday, but the exposures already helped it climb into the top 40 on iTunes.

Additionally, its the third most Shazamed song in the world right now.

Wow. Something tells me well be hearing it quite a bit in the coming months.
