Drama King is the new single from alt-pop powerhouse Chess Smith. Following on from Chess' first single, Bounce Back, which was written from the perspective of a survivor of narcissistic abuse, Drama King is an electrifying takedown of the toxic, controlling people who perpetuate it... The narcissists themselves. It lays bare their psyche, strips them of their mask, and exposes their lies and manipulation for the world to see. This song is for anyone who's run the gauntlet with their own Drama King or Queen, and at its core is a message of support and hope: 'I've been there, I believe you, and I believe in you'.
When we stand shoulder to shoulder, support each other, and we call these people out, it strips them of their power and they have nowhere to hide... We know who they are, and the stream of destruction that they leave in their wake will eventually be their undoing.
Bounce back is an anthemic alt-pop track written from the perspective of a survivor of narcissistic abuse. It takes what is frequently a life-shattering experience and turns it on its head, reversing the victim/abuser narrative to show how piteous and shallow narcissists truly are.
Bounce Back takes a serious and very personal subject and turns it into an uplifting message - know your worth, speak your truth, call out abuse, and stand tall in the face of people who would tear you down. It celebrates the survivor coming full circle and refusing to stay in the shadows. Narcissists are stuck in their vortex of shame and dishonesty forever...
Survivors Bounce Back.
