You Don't Own Me is about more than "controlling relationships". It was written and originally performed at a time where women were the subservient, domesticated property of men. It's synonymous with female empowerment, thus making little to no sense why a man would choose to sing it.
In this case, it was purely chosen because it was covered last year.
