“I was once in a relationship where my partner at the time made me feel like I was too soft or not masculine enough. They felt I was “not aggressive enough” or “too emotional”. I feel like a common experience for masculine presenting non-men is the expectation to act within the negative stereotypes of a cis-man in society. Sometimes we are expected to be emotionless, angry, aggressive, and big/strong but that is not what should be expected of anyone. People should be able to be who they are without feeling sorry or explaining themselves. Be who you are and don’t let fuckin anyone tell you otherwise! Crying is cool, I promise.”

Co-written with Brooklyn-Born riser Chloe Lilac and produced by longtime collaborators Chris Petrosino and Rob McCurdy of Noiseclub, this track sees Deadbeat Girl’s career take to new heights. Stepping out with unapologetic authenticity, Deadbeat Girl is unafraid to share their genuine self with the world, a quality that has not gone unnoticed.

Deadbeat Girl’s slick new offering ‘Who Are You?’ arrives as a powerful reminder to always be your authentic self. Passionate and angsty, the new single is your chance to let your hair down and air out your frustrations.

Sharing more, Val said: “I started the song with a little random thought I had written in my notes app, “change myself for you,” and I decided to write a song about what it feels like to be in a relationship where you feel like you need to change who you are for the person you’re with. It’s about watching your partner, as well as yourself, change into a different person.

“I think the best kinds of songs to listen to are the ones where you can just scream/belt out all of your anger and pain.”
