The pop singer’s Top 40 hit “Die Young” was yanked from radio airwaves yesterday in response to the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. She took to Twitter earlier to express her sadness:

my heart goes out deeply to the people of Newtown, Connecticut

She also urged her fans to contribute to a Newtown-related charity:

Its beyond words what has happened. Help families affected by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary by donating here: http://t.co/AQ05bij8

We’re not sure what she means when she claims that she was “forced to” sing the song, on which she is listed as a co-writer. Maybe that’s her excuse for this verse:

Young hunks, taking shots

Stripping down to dirty socks

Music up, gettin’ hot

Kiss me, give me all you’ve got

It’s pretty obvious that you’ve got a crush

That magic in your pants, it’s making me blush

In any case, there’s considerable debate about whether it should have been pulled. What do you think?

@keshasuxx In reality its not your fault tho! How we’re you suppose to know? At least you’ve said your peace & hopefully they can respect it
