Piper Connolly navigates the complexities of friendship and unrequited love in her latest single and lyric video muse — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
In this track, the 13-year-old singer-songwriter explores the challenge of setting aside her infatuation for someone who didn’t reciprocate her feelings, fearing she might lose them entirely. “While working on this song, I was inspired by a personal situation. muse is all about having feelings for someone who didn’t feel the same way back,” she shares. “The kicker, though, was that we made an awesome team creatively. So, I faced a choice: let my emotions mess with our vibe or keep pushing forward and make some great stuff. I went with the latter, deciding that our collaboration was more important than my one-sided crush.”
The track presents a relatable message of grappling with one’s emotions and making a tough decision, even when it’s not the one you hoped for. Its heart-wrenching lyrics tell a story of the misery of compressing and masking affection. Connolly’s dynamic vocals, infused with her edgy punk flair, transform the track into an emotional anthem. Producer Marvin Fockens collaborated with Connolly to create this fiery and resonant song.
