Are there any songs you once loved that you now dislike after learning the true meaning/background of the song?

I’ve always loved Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and thought it was a great female empowerment anthem, until I found out the original song by Otis Redding was used in an overtly sexist context. Especially the lines “I’m about to give you all of my money, all I ask is you give it to me when I get home”.
