Lizzo [1]'s "Truth Hurts" is the gift that keeps on giving! On Friday, savvy Instagram user (and self-proclaimed "Lizzbian" [2]) Brendan Carey [3] shared a hilarious video of the No. 1 Billboard song [4] set to an iconic scene in Disney's 1970 film The Aristocats [5]. The clip shows cat-siblings Berlioz and Marie practicing their singing and piano-playing while Lizzo [6] begins to belt, "Why men great 'til they gotta be great?" And it's amazing how well the song goes with the scene. The original version — which features the tune "Scales & Arpeggios" — is pretty freakin' adorable [7], but this Lizzo remix takes it to another level.

One viewer who came across Brendan's masterpiece posted it on Twitter [8], which caught Lizzo's attention. The singer retweeted the video with an understandably excited reaction [9]. "OOOOOHHHHHHH MY GOD," she wrote.

"Truth Hurts" originally came out in 2017, but its feature in this year's Netflix film Someone Great [10] helped it skyrocket on the charts. Since then, Lizzo has masterfully performed [11] it at award shows and music festivals [12]. The bop has also inspired some out-of-this-world dance routines [13] and hysterical parodies [14]. The truth might hurt, but this song sure doesn't.
