Now,, she shares her new single ‘Told Me So”,’ channelling her vulnerability to beautifully reflect on regret and unspoken words.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, she says “’Told Me So’ is about someone I had a massive crush on for years. I didn’t say or do anything while we were living together because it was complicated, but years went by, and we no longer lived in the same country. I remember telling myself I would regret it—hence the title ‘Told Me So’—and, of course, it became too late.”
