I am an all-in kind of person. A lot of the time, I am just not being objective about what is happening. We can all see ourselves as givers, and I can be guilty of using that as a badge of honor in how I see myself. The character in the song is doing the same thing and is not respecting herself or practicing self-care. It was that circle of exhaustion, perfectionism, guilt, and low self-esteem that inspired the lyrical ideas. I wanted to create a song that captures the bittersweet nature of love and the journey toward self-empowerment. Over the years, NY-native JES has carved out her own niche in Alt Pop and Dance. […]
