Bounce Back
The first single from the Saving Lilibet EP, Bounce Back is all about calling out toxic behaviour, learning to trust your intuition, and finding the strength to move on after you've been treated badly by people you trusted. This one is for any king or queen who's had enough of people's BS, and who's ready to move on with their life and come back stronger.
Lyric Videos
Drama King
Following on from Bounce Back, which was written from the perspective of a survivor of narcissistic abuse, Drama King turns the mirror onto the toxic, controlling people who perpetuate it... It lays bare their psyche, strips them of their mask, and exposes their lies and manipulation for the world to see.
We know who they are, and the stream of destruction that they leave in their wake will eventually be their undoing. They can't hide forever...
Disassociate
Disassociate calls out those so-called friends who ride on the coat tails of others to give themselves a leg up - they might only ever call when they want something from you... Or latch on to bad people because they think they can get something out of them - with no thought to who they're hurting in the process. In the end, they'll find out the hard way that those people were only ever in it for themselves...
