Thank you to my sisters for being in this clip. You are the embodiment of strength, vulnerability and authenticity.

Following the death of 22-year-old Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini in September 2022, I was inspired to write a song to spread awareness about the oppression of women’s rights in Iran and to empower those fighting for their freedom of expression.

When I read about what was happening in Iran in September. The pain of losing such a young woman for how she wore her clothing and the violent and horrific protests that followed her death, a flame ignited in me to write this song. I felt both so lucky and so infuriated that because of where I live, I get the luxury to wear what I want, say what I want to say and do so knowing I have laws to protect me. In Iran and many places in the world, women don’t have this right.

At the time of these protests, Iran went into a media blackout. Locals weren’t able to share the atrocities that were going on in their country at the time. I felt desperate to create something to help them and to remember Mahsa Amini and all of the lives lost in these protests forever.

This is for Mahsa Amini, the women of Iran, the protestors around the world fighting for women's rights and anyone who feels they don't have a voice. I see you and I believe in you.
