If you’re going through something: this song is for you. If you’re healing, holding space, or just existing the best you can: this is for you too. I hope it reminds you that you matter. You’re not alone in what you feel.

JEALOUSY is urgent, personal, and powerful. In the lyrics, I wrestle with internalized envy and external pressure—the kind of tension that social media often fuels. We know it’s all curated, yet the comparison trap still gets us. In the song I’m giving voice to the quiet battle between self-belief and self-doubt—between feeling centered and spiraling into negative self-talk on tough days.
At my core, I feel soulful and powerful—like nothing can stop me. But then the shadow creeps in: that voice that says I’m not enough, that I’ll never be what I hope to be. JEALOUSY is about observing those inner dynamics, recognizing both voices. Even when I can’t break the cycle, I know the core truth wins out. Maybe it’s not about silencing the shadow at all—but about learning how to talk to it better.

This song is very personal. It’s a reflection on love that endures through both beauty and hardship—a love that I’m lucky and blessed to experience. I tried to capture the feeling of still being fascinated by someone, even after a long time—like seeing them through fresh eyes every day. When a relationship has been through storms, moments of doubt, and emotional turbulence, but always finds its way back to a shared center—a place of closeness and safety, like shelter under an umbrella.
There’s a sense of growth, vulnerability, and mutual reflection, and the realization that “home” isn’t a place—it’s the presence of that one person who always pulls you back in.
The production journey of this one was so funny: I dreamt it! It’s always a huge act of will to get out of bed and get the idea down, so it’s not gone in the morning. But I did it and went back to bed 2 hours later. And here we are, this romantic breezy disco vibe is yours!
FIRST DAY is part of the lead-up to my new album scheduled for September, 2025. More to come soon!
