  • "A Toast to Men" is a song by American singer Willa Ford featuring Lady May. A pop track, Toby Gad, who wrote it with Ford and Rhonda Robinson, produced it. Ford's record label Lava approached Gad for the collaboration after he was struggling to replicate his success in Europe in the US. Ford wrote the song based on a chant she heard at a sorority party. The title and chorus feature a profane word, which attracted media attention. Ford said she wanted to revolutionize pop music by using the word "fuck", and was surprised her label chose it as a single because of its explicit content. Lava released "A Toast to Men" in 2003 as the lead single from Ford's second studio album, SexySexObsessive, which was canceled following issues within the record company. A music video and an extended play (EP) of remixes were released to promote the single. Gay.com included the song on a 2003 sampler album, and it was featured in the 2004 film Barbershop 2: Back in Business. "A Toast to Men" received positive reviews, and some critics praised its feminist message. Although the song's explicit lyrics attracted controversy, it was popular on radio and television. The song peaked at number 45 on the Hot Singles Sales Billboard chart and number 11 on the Dance Singles Sales Billboard chart. After SexySexObsessive was canceled, Ford ended her music career and transitioned into acting and interior design. (en)
