Danica then posted a video in response, in which she initially indicated that she was considering postponing the release of the single in the wake of the backlash and "horrible comments" that had been posted about the track. She told her followers: "So, as you are aware, I am meant to be releasing my debut single tomorrow. I have been marketing for it. I've had some really horrible comments, so I think it may be best if I try and postpone it just while I try and figure this all out but I appreciate all the support."

A little later, Danica was in a less compromising mood after reflecting on what she would do next and vowed to ignore the haters so that she could press on with her new career. Defiant Danica hit out at the trolls and said she would not "conform to your opinions" as she aimed to put her debut single out as originally planned, no matter how many people have taken a dislike to its lyrics..

Hundreds, thousands, however many of you, whatever you think, I don't give a f***. I don't conform to your opinions, so don't worry guys, the music is coming, 12pm, midday, 'Ugh' is dropping."
