Drawing us in with reverberating synth keys, Hayley Goodings opens I’ll Do Me with atmospheric vocals as she shares the introspective yet empowering prose, “Why do you keep trying to pull me down? Telling me I’m not good enough, but I know I am… You seem to have it all figured all out, making me feel I can’t do this, but I know I can…”
We immediately connect with the conscious and self-realized nature of what Hayley Goodings conveys as she sings the hook, “Just do you… I’ll do me…”. The message is clear as Hayley finds her strength, asserts boundaries and cements her self worth, accompanied by a fierce and textured drum and bass beat.
The ebbs and flows of the production showcase dynamism and dimensionality as Hayley manifests catharsis from her lived reality. Speaking on the release, Hayley confesses, “My own experiences inspired me to write this. Encouraging to not allow people to put us down, making us feel we are not good enough, but to keep going, keep doing YOU!”
The core essence of the song is extremely inspiring, and holds a cinematic allure – perfect for a British movie or TV show with a similar theme based around female empowerment, maybe season two of The Girlfriend on Amazon Prime.
With reference to her intentional brand of songwriting, Hayley adds, “I write relatable songs straight from the heart. This song is about not letting people get you down and believing in yourself, not having any bad feeling but staying positive and happy.”
We love the message that Hayley Goodings, and love the unique production with her vocal timbre.
