reception
The song was received with mixed opinions among critics and largely criticized negatively by the public. Some critics have compared Swagger Jagger to the Christmas carol Little Donkey . Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars and wrote: "Her debut single does little to change that, accusing her" haterz "of pilfering her wildly cherished swagger - the same people who are also looking, tweeting , youtubing and generally social media baiting. 'I can't stop, it's what I'm gon' be / My swagger's in check, 'she brattishly sing-speaks over a chunky schoolyard beat and squiggly club synths. ”He also saw similarities between Swagger Jagger and the folk piece Oh My Darling, Clementine up.
In a negative review, the website Sabotagetimes.com wrote about the song: “Coming across like a sink estate answer to the Black Eyed Peas, the track combines a shouty, tuneless verse with a chorus that riffs on 'Oh My Darling Clementine'. All blended together with the subtlety of a cut-and-shut Vauxhall Nova. "
