Inside list condition with jQuery

I'm trying to build a jQuery function that triggers a specific event if the content of a META Tag is contained in a list of words.

I've tried: 

<meta name="sun" content="a" >

<script>

$('meta[name=sun]').each(function(){
    var metacontent = $(this).attr("content");
    var list = ["a","b","c"];

if(metacontent.match(list)) { //that is wrong I guess
    console.log("hi");

});
</script>
