Speaking of the track’s message she said,"This is definitely an anthem for all of us, to tell the world that we are in control & we have a choice but we do need to look out for each other as it's still happening every day. I honestly hope that through this song, it empowers people, brings us together & reminds everyone to include our entire female community”.
Churning out banger after banger, Swann’s drive and passion for music which was established immediately with her debut single “Salty,” has been elevated by her trademark ability to weave impactful messages into catchy, fun soundscapes on this latest single, her fourth release in quick succession.
Never to be restricted by the conventions of society, the Berklee College of Music graduate has always embraced a distinctly rebellious “tomboyish” style that reflected both her music and her personality. Effortlessly defying industry expectations of what it means to be a woman in music, and in the world, Swann is a compelling and confident artist who is making undeniable headway into becoming one of the most exciting newcomers on the scene.
