People ask me all the time what I write songs about. I’ve finally thought of a well constructed answer. I write songs when I can’t respond to something in any other way. When something has such an impact on me, whether I’m angry or happy or excited or hurt or frustrated or can’t understand something to the point where words fail, music speaks. It organisers my thoughts and emotions into one structure. It’s the only place where feelings and logic can seem to seamlessly coexist.
This particular song came about during a texting battle with an ex boyfriend. Got drunk with his friends and just ripped into me like a fat kid on a cupcake. He rained down everything that went wrong in our relationship to be entirely my fault. “Your parents aren’t proud of you, wait until they find out who you really are.” If you believe someone to be mortifyingly terrible, would you not just walk away? If you see someone as a bad person, do you not try and get as far away from them as possible?
Feeling totally defeated I would scream “if I’m so bad why don’t you go? Why don’t you leave? Why have you stayed as long as you have only to hate me and make me miserable?” This song was my voice when I was silenced into believing everything had come down to being my fault. Bullied and belittled and raging into a fury, I recorded voice memo after voice memo of its first lyrics.
This remix is one I am most proud of. A ghost producer who has asked me not to reveal his name, made this into something I’m proud to put on every platform. And with that, I give you If I’m So Bad - The Remix.
