Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato have delivered the badass music video we've been waiting for since their empowering anthem "Fall in Line" dropped earlier this month.
The video begins with two young girls smiling in a pretty field before being taken by intimidating men dressed in armored, black uniforms.

Christina Aguilera's new album "Liberation" is available June 15.
