Willow Smith Debuts New Song Clip, '21st Century Girl'

By Zach Dionne Posted Jan 24th 2011 02:16PM

'Whip My Hair' had its day in the sun, and it was glorious. Moving on, Willow Smith is ready to release a new single and video for '21st Century Girl,' which the 10-year-old star says is going to make people dance.

"Hey people I am so excited for my next single!! Are you?" Willow wrote on Facebook. "It's a dance record. I know you love to dance, don't cha'..."

Rap-Up.com snagged a few photos of Willow filming the clip in Palmdale, Calif., over the weekend, wearing wild outfits on set with her mother, Jada.

Hear 16 seconds of the new song -- what sounds like another imminently catchy, grooving refrain containing more positive, fun-loving Willow sentiments -- here:

A longer clip, featuring behind-the-scenes footage of Willow dancing to '21st Century Girl' on the set of the video, is floating around the internet and available on PopEater's Tumblr.

Willow has been hyping the unannounced release of her debut album on Twitter and Facebook lately:

Is that rhetorical, Willow? Of course we're excited.

So sick of Will Smith, Jada Smith, Jaden Smith and Willow. The Smith's have officially jumped the shark...

Why is that little girl always pouting the duck lip? At such a young age, she seems so vain.

I like this song way better than "Whip My Hair" :)

By mriedingr

Sounds like auto-tune to me.

By candacetx

By Harlow

Willow is so cute! NOT.
Isnt Willow Jadas father?
NEPOTISM at its finest. You go WIll. Keep paying!
you will be for the next 50years.

Will Smith has jumped the shark. Too bad. The worst part of an overall awful remake, "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? Will's son Jaden. I couldn't stand him. Just came across as yet another obnoxious Hollywood version of a child. I didn't even try to watch the "Karate Kid" remake, no matter how much I have laughed at Jackie Chan in the past.

So why ghetto? She is relatively well spoken, precocious, confident, hard working and has a sense of humor. Why ghetto?

Willow is so smart, sophisticated (she knows her Italian!), and most of all, cute! What a great role model for other young girls. I love seeing young girls having confidence in themselves.

No talent, no talent. And besides who cares
about her besides her parents

Both of those kids are SERIOUSLY gender-confused. I spent almost all of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" thinking Jayden was a girl.

I wish my parents were rich and famous so I could get whatever I wanted and be famous also. I have to work hard and hope of someday making it while this no talent girl gets it handed to her. It must be great to have famous parents who can get you everything you want and never have to work for it. Why do people follow the Smiths anyway? I will never get the entertainment place. Oh well I guess talent doesn't matter as long as you have famous parents you can get it handed to you.

Yes Agree.....jumping around whipping your hair back and forth and singing in black ebonics (using bad grammar) etc..........is really ghetto!!!! I find the whole thing akin to the popular trend in the 70's where the little black girls in the ghetto's used to jump rope (double dutch) while rhyming using bad grammar.,,it was actually cut but a stereotype for the little black girls at the time. The Smith's dont realize they are renforcing sterotypical images that arent necessarily embraced by other cultures.

By hfm329

what an incredibly annoying little kid!

By LUIS

She is one nasty talentless ghetto-type skank.

By Beauty

You DO realize you're talking about a 9 year old little girl? Don't you???

By BarbG

When I saw this child perform on News Years Eve, I was shocked to learn she is only 9 years old. Shame on these parents for allowing her to do this. She should be doing childrens stuff, playing soccer, learning geography etc, there is plenty of time for her to shake her booty....Hello, didn't parents learn from Brittany and Lohan?

By lita

Please tell me that someone is working on some kind of vaccine to prevent this stuff. We need to be protected from relatively untalented offspring of powerful Hollywood-types. (I'm so glad we haven't heard about little Suri Cruise's "flair for decorating" any more.)

By Kathryn

Sigh, I'm already sick of her and she's just a baby. Will, Jada?? What are you thinking????

By cblue50

I hope she grows into her ears- she inherited her father's unfortunately.
