In the spring of 2024, she released a song titled "Я не пон" (lit. "I Didn't Understand"), that was based on hate messages she had received on the Internet.{{cite web|url=https://24smi.org/celebrity/352242-betsi-girl.html|title=Бэтси Girl — биография, личная жизнь, фото, новости, певица, клипы, блогер, Ютьюб-канал 2024|website=24SMI|accessdate=2024-12-23}} She commented to Bridge TV, "My song is about haters who are hating on me, and I'm replying to them that I don't get what you are saying and you won't succeed (in shutting me up) because I have my own opinion, and (my opinion) is more important than a hater's opinion." Her father added, "(What we want to say in this song) is that despite all the hate we are always ready to go on and do what we like, and we see that (our songs) resonate (with people), both positively and negatively." In July, a music video for the song was released. It was directed by Rodion Chistyakov, who explained, "In this video, we have three people who, so to say, don't like children: a middle-aged couch potato, a hipster, and a schoolmistress". The video also starred Betsy's little sister Suzy and featured a dance that Betsy invented herself.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpQNZJzN-ZM|title=Певица Betsy ответила хейтерам – YouTube|date=29 July 2024 |publisher=Bridge TV}}
