“From the first time I heard it, I just felt so inspired by it,” Halle Berry tells H.E.R. during their Netflix Playlist conversation.
Berry calls the song, about wishing your partner would put away all distractions and pay attention to you, an “anthem.” “I wasn’t feeling seen in the way I wanted to be seen,” Berry tells H.E.R. “I would put [‘Focus’] on, and it would remind me that it was OK for me to demand that somebody focus on me … that I deserve love and I deserve the focus on me and my feelings and what my needs were.
H.E.R.’s “Automatic Woman” lands like a series of nonstop punches, with staccato beats and a rapid-fire delivery from the singer/songwriter as she mixes in boxing metaphors to describe a woman who will stop at nothing until she emerges victorious. Both Berry and H.E.R., like the film’s protagonist, have had to fight to be taken seriously. “We have to be that strong, especially women of color,” Berry says. “We usually aren’t given anything. Everything we’ve had, we’ve had to work really hard for.”
