What it is
"Your Dog" by Soccer Mommy (Sophia Allison) was released in January 2018 as the lead single from her album Clean. The song is about feeling paralyzed and used in a relationship. Allison wrote it after a relationship ended, at a time when she felt stuck and wanted to become stronger. Its music video shows someone breaking away from that situation.
