Queen Cult are a rising rock-outfit based in Macclesfield, spearheaded by guitarist and lead vocalist Maisie Johnson, with Brodie Carson and Piers Jarvis taking up drums and bass respectively.

Discussing the release, Maisie explains: “This song was written for a friend. I wanted to understand it from her perspective and to give her a platform that would radiate with empowerment, after such distrust and pain she had endured. I wanted to show her she is not alone and how undeserving that moment was for her. I wanted her to feel heard, since she felt she had been silenced by that moment.
