Hello, Neena! Good to see you once more! Care to introduce your self to the readers for these not accustomed to your music?
Hey, you too! My identify is Neena Rose, and you might know me from my hit tune “Battle Zone,” or my viral freestyles on TikTok all through the years! I’m a giant storyteller relating to songwriting, and I like to take my experiences, destructive or optimistic, and switch them into one thing that others can hearken to and really feel seen by; virtually like I wrote the tune only for them!
“Superman” flips the basic narrative—what was the second that impressed you to put in writing from that perspective?
The thought for Superman got here out of a writing session the place we have been unpacking a few of my previous experiences. We landed on this theme of individuals not residing as much as who they are saying they’re—or who you hope they’ll be. I talked about how I used to present this individual the advantage of the doubt, considering possibly I used to be the one who may assist repair him or make him wish to change. I assumed I used to be the one factor that would change him for the higher, and one of many writers in contrast that to kryptonite. That hit me onerous—as a result of I spotted I noticed myself as his kryptonite, however he wasn’t even Superman. I saved defending him, combating his battles, ready for him to point out up for me the way in which I did for him… and he by no means did. That realization grew to become the core of the tune.
You’ve mentioned this tune is an “unmasking.” What truths about your self or others did you uncover within the technique of writing it?
Earlier than scripting this tune, I didn’t totally perceive how I felt concerning the expertise that impressed it. All through the method, which actually felt extra like a remedy session, I realized that I used to gravitate in direction of individuals whom I noticed potential in, as a result of I needed to be the rationale they grew to become higher. I appeared for “fixer-upers” however as a substitute of “fixing” them, I broke myself down alongside the way in which. I needed to settle for that some individuals don’t wish to be saved, and it’s not my job to make them higher individuals.
You’ve racked up over 12 million streams and 875,000 TikTok followers—how has social media formed the way in which you join along with your viewers?
Social media has performed such an enormous function in the way in which I join with my listeners as a result of it broke the “fourth wall” of being an artist and allowed me to create and promote music in a manner that feels extra private and genuine. With social media, I’m able to put my most weak and actual self on show, and I really consider that’s the key to constructing an viewers that can persist with you. When individuals join with somebody as an individual, they’ll naturally be fascinated about what they’ve to supply artistically.
If somebody’s going by way of what “Superman” talks about—heartbreak, therapeutic, and self-worth—what do you hope they take away out of your tune?
I hope they perceive that individuals transfer at totally different paces and it doesn’t essentially imply they’re a nasty individual, however it is best to by no means should ask somebody to be higher for you. The appropriate individual will present up for you and be the very best model of themselves on their very own phrases. Actually, the ethical of the story is: if he needed to, he would.
