WANNABE IS ONE of the most iconic songs and videos of the 1990s. Who among us still isn’t partial to singing, “I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want…”?

And now the song has gotten a feminist makeover.

Yesterday Posh Spice herself shared this video from The Global Goals, an organisation committed to sustainable development, which shows girls from all over the world singing along with Wannabe and sharing what they really, really want.

Things like…

Equal pay.

And an end to violence against girls.

Since Victoria Beckham shared it, the video has been viewed over 27 million times and counting.

And everyone’s absolutely loving it.

The may be the best received thing related to the United Nations since ever https://t.co/VUvsH48NGp
