Self-objectification appears in the music video Dirrty by Christina Aguilera. A scene from the music video shows Christina being brought down in a cage whilst surrounded by men, symbolising her as an animal in a cage and she's there for the males satisfaction.

(Contactmusic, 2017). Two years later, Aguilera’s album, Stripped, was released after working with PINK, Mya, and Lil’ Kim on “Lady Marmalade” for the film Moulin Rouge. Her album, Stripped, followed up with a darker side to Aguilera, including her songs: “Dirrty”, “Beautiful”, and “Make Over”. Nevertheless, her album sold 4 million copies. (Biography, 2017). Most of the album was written from Christian; Linda Perry as well as Alicia Keys took part in the album too. She signed for global publishing with BMG
