The song "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet connects to the conflict of cheating and loyalty in Othello. The lyrics in the song relate to the dilemma that Othello is faced with in the play. In the song, they sing "Well I could see, you home with me, but you were with another man, yea" and in the play, Othello believes that his wife, Desdemona, is sleeping with another man, Cassio. He loves her; however, he becomes furious that she may have cheated on him and loses faith in her. Jet goes on to sing "I know we, ain't got much to say, before I let you get away, yea!" This relates to Othello because when Othello suspects Desdemona about her cheating, he does not confront her about it until he tries to kill her. He did not say much to her from the time where Iago planted the idea in his head to when he begins to smother her. If Othello would have had something to say sooner, then maybe Desdemona would not have gotten away.
