Willow Smith sang about cutting class and getting in touch with nature in her new music video, which premiered online Thursday.
The self-possessed 14-year-old wrote and produced the fun track titled F Q-C #7 - pronounced 'frequency number seven.'
And just like Alanis Morisette's Ironic video in 1996, the Summer Fling singer presented four sides of herself.

"The different Me's represent my Chakras," Willow wrote in an email to The Fader.
"Yellow is Self-confidence, Blue is my voice (song), Red is my survival instinct, and the Black is a combination of everything (the true me)."
The privileged and precocious teenager - who co-directed the video with Mike Vargas - also snuck in a Beats by Dre headphone product placement.
In it, Smith rocks African tribal make-up to emulate her favourite Avatar character, Neytiri played by Zoe Saldana.
The eccentric millennial does karate kicks as she sings about climbing trees and stomping in streams.
"Writing the F Q-C #7 video and bringing it into reality was one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life. For my republic I stand," she tweeted to her 3.7M followers.

The daughter of Will & Jada Pinkett Smith has appeared in two of her parents' films - I Am Legend in 2007 and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa in 2008.
But the Whip My Hair hitmaker hasn't acted since a 2010 guest gig on Nickelodeon sitcom True Jackson, VP.

Meanwhile, her 16-year-old brother Jaden just deleted his Twitter and Facebook accounts, and made his Instagram private following criticism of his androgynous attire.
Willow's 43-year-old mother next plays the ringleader for the male stripper sequel Magic Mike XXL with Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer.
