BACK TO YOU IS OUT on all the streaming platforms!! 🎉This song was the very last one Wayne and I worked on for this EP. I’d had the little melody for the hook in a voice note forever but I just couldn’t find a world for it to live in but I knew the first line would be “Go Back.” Sometimes you gotta just live a little more and the context will just form itself around you. This is an ode to my codependency. It’s about how much I love to wallow in toxicity. It’s about how it’s SO much easier for me to pour myself out to avoid dealing with my own s**t. Martyrdom as avoidance. “Love” and “nurturing” as manipulation. And it’s also a reminder of how far I’ve come. IT IS HARD TO LOVE YOURSELF. IT IS HARD TO CHOOSE YOURSELF. It is hard to break generational patterns. The work is hard but it is worth it. So! Here’s my little musical mile marker from a time not so long ago when it was too easy to go backward to remind you that it’s only easy at first… and that you should turn some of that attention and love inward. It’s really worth it. Trust me.
