We last featured Sadie Nix as she navigated love, loss, and self-discovery on her transformative single, Maze, so when we heard that Sadie was back with Full of Me, we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in her universe again and share our experience.
Full of Me opens with a rising guitar soundscape and textured drums as Sadie assertively sings, “You like the sound of your name in my mouth…Wore my praise like it was your own fucking crown… Thought you struck gold but that’s my shine… “. The opus expands into an exploration of the emotional imbalance of a one-sided relationship. It is the age-old narrative of when one person continuously gives whilst the other simply takes – a bitter empowerment anthem about reclaiming our identity from someone who exploited our love and support.
Through her signature high emotional quotient and poetic depth, Sadie Nix reflects on the exhaustion of constantly filling someone else’s cup as she neglects her own, until she reaches the pivotal moment of choosing herself and walking away. We deeply appreciate how the song becomes a fierce reflection of self-worth.
Having taken a twenty-year detour away from music, the US-born, Brighton-based singer-songwriter is now preparing to unveil her debut album, poignantly titled, Friends Get You Killed. Full of Me serves as the lead single and we are obsessed with the vivid storytelling and emotional detail.
Sadie confesses, “I spent a long time filling other people’s cups and calling it love. This song is about the moment I stopped. It’s the freedom and advice I wish someone had handed me at twenty-two.” We could imagine Full of Me landing a sync placement in a coming-of-age drama like The Summer I Turned Pretty or One Tree Hill, soundtracking the defining moment when a character finally chooses themselves. Produced with Zack Burke, the track will absolutely resonate with fans of Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Needless to say, we have added Full of Me to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, and cannot wait to hear future instalments from Friends Get You Killed in the lead up to the album’s release in September.
